Data were analyzed by SPSS17 using Mann–Whitney U test (p <0.05). Results: The mean age of patients was 51.34±7.24 years old in the range of 36 to 63 years, 39 (48.08%) were male and 51(51.3%) were female. pain in the palate and throat while opening and closing the mouth, pain in the basic teeth, pain in the various sites of the mouth were significantly greater in pain categories ( p=0.033, p=0.01, p=0.005, p=0.005, respectively). The mobility and the lack of adequate fixation was also higher (P<0.001) in relation to mobility and relaxation categories. The difficulty in eating and speaking was significantly higher (P=0.033, P=0.046 respectively). Most of the patients were satisfied with the shape and cosmetic aspects of the dentures (p=0.033, p<0.001, p=0.026 respectively).
