PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to compare denture wearer's evaluation and clinician's technical rating for complete denture used on edentulous patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Total 43 edentulous patients who had complete denture fabricated more than one year ago were recalled. The questionnaire based on the various literatures was modified and applied to patients for subjective assessments. Functional aspects related to retention, stability, occlusion and denture condition were included in operator's evaluation. In addition, correlations were evaluated between patient's subjective and operator's objective assessments. Friedman test and Cohen's Kappa value were used for statistical analysis. RESULTS: It was found that denture wearers' evaluations were slightly or fairly agree to clinician's rating for complete denture. More differences were found in maxillary denture than mandibular denture and moderate difference was found in esthetic, occlusion aspects. CONCLUSION: There were slightly or fairly agreement between subjective and objective evaluations.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of proportional thickness of various reline materials on the transverse strength of denture base. The denture base resin used in this study was Vertex RS (Dentimex Zeist., Holland). The reline resins used were Tokuso rebase normal set (Tokuyama Corp., Japan), Rebaron (GC Corp., Japan), KoolinerTM(GC INC., U.S.A). New trulinerTM(Harry J. Bosworth Co., U.S.A). The bulk specimens with 2.5mm thickness of denture base were prepared as the control group. Group 1 was fabricated with 2.0mm thickness of denture base and 0.5mm reline material, group 2 with 1.5:1.0mm. group 3 with 1.0:1.5mm, group 4 with 0.5:2.0mm composition. Measurements of transverse strength were taken for each specimens. The results were as follows: 1. Regardless of the reline resin type, the transverse strength of denture base was decreased after reline procedure. 2. The transverse strength according to the reline resin type was decreased in the following order : Rebaron, Tokuso rebase, Kooliner, and then New truliner and there was a significant difference among the reline materials (P<0.05). 3. The strength of the relined denture base generally decreased as the proportional thickness of the denture reline material increased. These results suggest that increasing the proportional thickness of the reline material progressively decreased the strength of the relined denture base. Thus, the denture base should not be unnecessarily altered during the reline procedure.

Conical crown-retained denture (CCRD) has been used as a very effective treatment method in cases with few remaining teeth with heterogeneous prognosis. However, in spite of many advantages of CCRD, high technical failure rate was a problem to be considered. Incorrect path of insertion and excessive retention were thought to be the main cause of technical failure and to result from laboratory procedure with a coping misfit and/or a coping transfer error. In order to prevent this error, secure anchoring of inner coping and re-examination and milling of convergence angle were recommended on the master model from pick-up impression.
