Dr. Rohit Sharma, Dr. Yogendra Paharia, Dr. Harsha Tiwari

Background: A complete denture wearer's life is suddenly immobilized by the unexpected fracture of their denture, which is necessary for their daily activities. The present study was conducted to assess various complete denture fracture cases. Materials & Methods: 84 complete denture-wearer patients of both genders were thoroughly inspected. Retention, stability, and occlusal faults were among the variables that were noted. The reason for the fractured denture was noted. Results: Out of 84 patients, males were 32 and females were 52. The etiology of denture fracture was accidental fall in 30, poor occlusion in 24, material breakage in 18, and acrylic base defect in 12 cases. The difference was significant (P< 0.05). The site of fracture was midline in 22%, incisor area in 14%, canine area in 12%, labial flange in 18%, molar area in 10%, and maxillary tuberosity/ retromolar pad area in 24%. The difference was significant (P< 0.05). Conclusion: Denture fractures were most frequently caused by material breakage, unintentional falls, inadequate fit, and poor occlusion.
