A clinical evaluation of the clinical remount procedure.

One hundred patients were treated with complete dentures. The patients were divided into two equal groups; the first group (50 patients) received complete dentures and a clinical remount procedure was performed, while the second group received complete dentures without a clinical remount. A four point, nine scale Patient Denture Satisfaction questionnaire was used to evaluate the patients' satisfaction with their dentures. When the clinical remount procedure was used, results have shown a highly significant improvement in the comfort of the upper dentures and in the fit and comfort of the lower dentures. There was a significant improvement in the chewing ability as well. In conclusion it is highly recommended the clinical remount procedure be used because it improves the patient's satisfaction with their dentures in many important aspects as shown in this study.
