It is essential that patients wear their new dentures consistently during the initial adaptation period to facilitate necessary clinical adjustments. Continuous wear (not at night time) enables the prosthesis to interact with the oral tissues, revealing pressure points or friction-related concerns that may not be immediately apparent. Early discomfort is not uncommon and should be monitored closely.
Upon attending follow-up appointments, it is imperative that patients present any areas of irritation, including red spots or visible pressure marks on the gingiva. Such indicators serve as precise visual references, allowing the clinician to modify the denture accurately and avoid misaligned or unnecessary adjustments.
