Summary:P.I.P. and Coltene pressure spot indicator were tested on the same 30 sets of complete maxillary and mandibular dentures and on two maxillary dentures against natural dentition. They were tested at delivery for pressure spots, but adjustments were not made. They were tested again after 24 hours to visualize and compare actual pressure spots. Half the dentures were adjusted according to P.I.P. and half according to Coltene pressure spot indicator. The patients were recalled after 1 week to determine if they were free from discomfort. The P.I.P. showed a greater clinical correlation of predictable to actual pressure spots and enabled the investigators to spare more patients from post-delivery discomfort.
