This research was conducted in the academic year 2002-2003 in the Department of Prosthodontics of School of Dentistry, Shiraz University of Medical Sciences to investigate patients post complications after delivery of R.P.D.

50 Patients who were psychologically healthy and withoutsystemic diseases were selected. The dentures were made and delivered by sixth yeardental students. They were evaluated twice using questionaires one day and one weekafter the delivery of their dentures. Responses of patients to the proposed questions were evaluated.

Statistical analysis of the data showed that denture soreness on residual ridge and vestibule was maximum (72%), which was reduced to 12% after one week. Lack of retention in centric and eccentric was 44%, which was reduced to 15% one week later. Gag reflex and speaking inability was reduced from 44% to 4% in one week. Herpis and apthus lesion were low.

It is recommended that more precise attention be given to impression stages and occlusion adjustment while making R.P.D.
