Background: Many people use their dentures continuously for aesthetic and functional reasons. The aim of this study was to evaluate the denture’s continuous wearing in a sample of Lebanese population. Materials and Methods: Two hundred ninety (161 women, 129 men; age range 40-80 years) were selected for this study and their denture’s wearing habits were divided into three groups: a) group 1: regular nighttime denture removal, b) group 2: continuous denture use (daily and nighttime wearing), and c) group 3: irregular denture use. Descriptive statistics for patient age and gender and denture continuous wearing were calculated, and percent distributions were reported. Results: Among the 290 patients, 85 (29.31%) wear their dentures continuously (group 2), 138 (47.58%) take them out at night (group 1), and 67 (23.10%) wear them irregularly (group 3). Conclusion: According to the present study, approximately one-third of patients consistently wear their dentures.
