Abstract:
This article aims to describe common complicating factors that impact on the success of complete denture treatment and present an overview of the challenges these pose in practice.

The information is applicable to all dental practitioners, and is a useful aid to highlight complicating factors in individual patients and to make well-informed clinical decisions.
