Dentures may be the direct cause of these conditions, due to changing environmental conditions of the oral cavity and loading of the oral mucosa. However, systemic conditions and general diseases may influence the oral environment and alter tissue responses and resistance.

Why are dentures out of adjustment?

The adjustment of a prosthesis is made when they lose stability. Bone loss is the main reason prosthetics become unstable. Bone reduction may be due to age but also due to periodontal disease (gingivitis / periodontitis).

If you wear dentures and do not practice good oral hygiene habits, you could be at risk for gum disease. Smoking, certain medications and diabetes also promote gingivitis development and the need for a denture adjustment.
