Background. Removable acrylic dentures are regarded as complex irritative agents exerting mechanical, chemical-toxic, sensitizing, and thermo-insulating effects on the mucosa of the denture-bearing area and its receptor apparatus. The intensity and nature of these effects are determined by the physicochemical properties of the denture base materials, the prosthesis’s structural design, the accuracy of its fabrication, and the duration of clinical use. Purpose. To summarize and critically analyze the available literature regarding the effects of complete removable plate dentures on the mucosa of the denture-bearing area. Materials and Methods. An analytical review of 20 scientific sources addressing the effects of complete removable dentures on the mucosa of the denture-bearing tissues was conducted. Results and Discussion. The analysis of literature sources demonstrated that completely removable plate dentures may contribute to the development of inflammatory and dystrophic changes in the mucosa of the prosthetic bed. The main factors contributing to adverse effects include mechanical trauma to tissues, poor oral hygiene, the presence of residual monomer in denture base materials, and prolonged denture wear. It was established that inadequate denture hygiene promotes the accumulation of microflora and contributes to the development of inflammatory reactions of the mucous membrane. Conclusions. Inadequate oral hygiene represents one of the principal etiological and pathogenetic factors contributing to the development of inflammatory processes in the denture-bearing tissues. In addition, residual monomer released from denture base materials is recognized as a potential causative factor in material intolerance and the initiation of inflammatory reactions. Such pathological conditions are generally classified as chemically induced toxic inflammatory lesions and may lead to a spectrum of complications involving the mucosa of the denture-bearing area.
