In countries with a high amount of geriatric patients, it is mandatory for a dental clinician to have working knowledge on complete denture (CD) procedures. The aim of this study was to troubleshoot the errors in denture fabrication by assessing the difficulties in clinical procedures. A questionnaire was distributed among dental undergraduates across the country in the present study. A total of 26 questions were included in the study. An online sharing medium was used for distribution and a total of 140 responses were received. SPSS for windows, version 20 was used for data tabulation. Descriptive statistics and Chi-square test were done. The results of this study revealed that jaw relation was the most difficult procedure followed by border molding. Multiple problems arise from the practitioner's end due to the lack of knowledge. One of the causes for these problems could be inability to learn the principles and procedures during the undergraduate program. This must be addressed at the base level so that better care can be given to patients.
在老年患者数量众多的国家，牙科临床医生必须掌握全口义齿（CD）制作程序的实用知识。本研究的目的是通过评估临床程序中的困难来排查义齿制作中的错误。在本研究中，向全国的牙科本科生发放了一份问卷。该研究共包含26个问题。使用在线共享平台进行问卷分发，共收到140份回复。使用SPSS for windows 20版本进行数据制表。进行了描述性统计和卡方检验。本研究结果显示，颌位关系是最困难的程序，其次是边缘整塑。由于缺乏知识，从业者端出现了多个问题。这些问题的原因之一可能是在本科课程期间无法学习到相关原理和程序。这必须在基础层面得到解决，以便能为患者提供更好的护理。
