Retention is not an unambiguous variable. The degree of retention is dependent on biologic and physiologic properties of a complete denture and the denture-bearing and surrounding tissues. Quantifying retention forces of a complete denture can be carried out with three types of methods: subjective methods, methods with clinical more or less objective criteria, and nearly entire objective methods using measurement equipment. The subjective and most of the methods with clinical criteria are not or little reliable. However, for epidemiological research the methods with clinical criteria are very pragmatic. Of all objective methods using measurement equipment, the gnathodynamometer is the only apparatus with proven reliability.
固位并非一个明确的变量。固位程度取决于全口义齿以及义齿承托组织和周围组织的生物学与生理学特性。全口义齿固位力的量化可通过三种方法进行：主观方法、具有或多或少临床客观标准的方法以及使用测量设备的几乎完全客观的方法。主观方法以及大多数具有临床标准的方法不可靠或可靠性很低。然而，对于流行病学研究而言，具有临床标准的方法非常实用。在所有使用测量设备的客观方法中，咬力计是唯一经证实具有可靠性的仪器。
