ABSTRACT

Inseparable and interdependent factors for successful prosthodontics treatment are function and aesthetics. Adequate function and refinement must be done as prosthodontic service. A more natural and harmonious prosthesis can be made when the dysesthetic and dentogenic concept are applied in the dentures. This not only increases patients comfort but also increases functional use. Great aesthetics can be achieved by simple methods. This study was conducted among the patients visiting a private dental college who were completely edentulous. The records were taken from the period of June 2019- March 2020. A total of case sheets were reviewed and the observations were recorded under 6 parameters and given a score ranging from 0-2. Results were then tabulated and imported to SPSS software to obtain correlation between the factors. Out of case sheets reviewed, were males and females. Highly significant association was found between the gender and 5 parameters except the midline. Females had a more aesthetic smile line than the males. Further studies can be done by including more parameters. Aesthetic attention must be given even to complete denture wearers as it can satisfy the patient both functionally and aesthetically.
