The findings were classified into error in denture base, physiopsychological, error in occlusion and teeth selection. The data was statistically analyzed. Results: Error in denture base was the predominant cause of complaints. However physiopsychological and error in occlusion and teeth selection were also important second factors in certain groups of complaints. Highest number of complaints (23.07%) belongs to discomfort in mandibular posterior region.
