    Area of Science:

    • Dental Prosthetics
    • Clinical Assessment
    • Research Methodology

    Background:

    • The reliability of existing criteria for complete denture assessment is debated.
    • Contradictory evidence exists regarding the effectiveness of current assessment methods.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the evidence for the reliability of widely used complete denture assessment criteria.
    • To identify factors contributing to the inconsistent reliability of these criteria.

    Main Methods:

    • Systematic review of existing literature on complete denture assessment criteria.
    • Analysis of factors influencing observer judgment and statistical methods.

    Main Results:

    • No proposed criteria for complete denture assessment have demonstrated adequate and consistent reliability.
    • Inconsistent reliability may stem from statistical analysis methods, criterion wording, and observer bias.

    Conclusions:

    • Current criteria for complete denture assessment are not reliably demonstrated.
    • Prioritizing the development of more reliable criteria or objective performance tests is essential for valid epidemiological surveys.
