Abstract
The records of 268 patients were used to assess the effects of five di sease/drug complexes on the number of postinsertion visits in complete denture wearers. The data were analyzed with SAS and BMDP computer pa ckages. The results showed a statistically significant increase in the number of postinsertion visits in patients who had central nervous sy stem or psychiatric disorders. Practitioners are alerted to consider t he ergonomic implications at the outset of treatment.
