Abstrakt: Purpose: The purpose of the study was to find out the most common post insertion complaint and the effect of adjustments during follow up appointments in reducing the problem. Method: The study comprised 160 edentulous patients found suitable for new prosthesis. Complete Dentures were fabricated and they were recalled after 1 day, 15 days and 30 days for the post insertion checkup and adjustment. Their complaints were recorded on the basis of questionnaire and oral examination and resolved accordingly. Results: The commonest problem at 1 day visit was that of soreness (70% males and 78.3% females), mainly mylohyoid region (35% males and 45% females) in mandible and labial frenum region (20% males and 18% females) in maxilla. Clinical Significance: This article highlights the importance of post - insertion adjustments and also gives a brief idea about the most encountered post insertion problem noticed after a new denture is inserted.
