Abstract
A higher incidence of denture adjustments was observed in patients in whom pressure indicating paste was not used. [...]the use of a pressure indicating medium should become a mandatory procedure. Even with meticulous attention paid to details in the fabrication of complete dentures, the variable soft-tissue behavior during impression-making procedures and the dimensional changes involved in processing various denture base materials often require adjustment to relieve softtissue irritation and improve comfort for the patient [2]. Patients with extended bone abnormalities or with evidence of mucosal alteration (redundant tissues, possible ulcerative manifestations of autoimmune diseases), old denture wearers with extended bone abnormalities or with evidence of mucosal alteration, ridges with unfavorable undercut were excluded from study. Higher incidence of denture adjustments was required in patients where pressure indicating paste was not used. [...]the use of pressure indicating medium should become a routine procedure. 4.
