Sažetak
This investigation was conducted on 356 adults, 235 (66%) women and 121 (34%) men, who were patients at the Department of Removable Prosthodontics of the Faculty of Stomatology, University of Zagreb. All examinees had been wearing upper and lower complete dentures since 1977— 1982. The dentures were made from artificial resin (Galacryl — »Galenika«) polymerized with the routine procedure for wairm polymerization. We investigated clinical status of underlying tissue of upper complete denture. Mucosal inflammatory alterations were categorized according to the criteria of Newton (1962). The results obtained were statistically evaluated with univariant procedure for the whole cample and according to the sex. The 'results indicate that the rate of inflammatory alterations in underlying tissue of the prosthesis in the upper jaw occour in about 18% population investigated. In women incidence of denture stomatitis is higher. Erythema of denture underlying tissue (Type II) was found most often in women and in men mostly hyperplasia was detected (Type HI).
