Abstract

The oral environment is highly altered when a removable dental prosthesis is inserted. This further causes
adverse effects on the integrity of the oral tissues. A rough surface on a denture may cause mechanical
irritation resulting in a mucosal reaction, surface irregularities or porosities may result in accumulation
of microbial plaque on the dentures, sometimes the constituents of the dental materials itself may induce
an allergic reaction. A constant pressure on the bony ridge results in residual ridge resorption. Wearing
complete denture significantly alter the masticatory function, indirectly resulting in nutritional deficiency.
The sequelae of wearing complete denture reaction may be a direct or an indirect one.

Keywords: Mucosal reaction, Mechanical irritation, Resorption, Sequelae.
