Which of the following is NOT a reason for potential denture issues with tori?

The key to understanding why increased retention of the denture is not a reason for potential denture issues with tori lies in the role that tori, or bony growths, play in the fitting and function of dentures.

Tori, particularly when they protrude from the surface of the mandible or maxilla, can create challenges in fitting dentures properly. However, an adequately contoured denture that accommodates these bony growths can actually enhance retention. This occurs because improved adaptation of the denture base to the underlying bony structures can lead to a tighter fit, which can help stabilize the denture during function.

In contrast, other issues associated with tori can impede the effectiveness and comfort of dentures. Insufficient room for the denture base may lead to inadequate coverage and support, while potential irritation of soft tissues can cause discomfort and inflammation. Fracture of the denture material can result from excessive stress or pressure against the tori during function. Thus, while tori can present challenges, their influence on denture retention is primarily positive when properly managed.
