Abstract :

Objective: To determine the average weight of conventional complete dentures processed with acrylic resin base material and the associated clinical significance Materials and methodology: Weight of a total of 200 complete dentures; 100 ideal dentures faicated by pre clinical students and 100 mucosal borne complete dentures faicated for patients; was measured in a caliberated glass jar. The weights of maxillary and mandibular complete dentures were compared and association between age, gender and duration of edentulousness was seen. Results: The average weight of maxillary and mandibular patient�s dentures was found to be 13.46 �3.90 gm and 11.33�3.07 gm respectively. The average weight of ideal maxillary and mandibular dentures was found to be 17.7 �3.21gm and 15.11�3.44 gm respectively. Conclusion: The average weight of maxillary denture was more than that of mandibular denture in ideal as well patients� denture.
