Tooth loss and rehabilitation with dentures can have tremendous patient impact and social implications. In an image-conscious society, dentures restore a sense of normalcy and allow the patient the ability to interact with others. The most frequent denture complaints include chewing discomfort and objectionable esthetics and phonetics. Determining patient expectations and their influence on patient satisfaction with treatment is critical. Current evidence on functional outcomes, patient satisfaction, and cost-effectiveness of treatment with conventional dentures versus implants are important factors to consider during treatment planning for the edentulous patient. The purpose of this article is to review some exemplar literature for the successful treatment of the edentulous patient.
牙齿缺失及使用假牙修复会对患者产生巨大影响并具有社会意义。在一个注重形象的社会中，假牙能恢复正常感并使患者有能力与他人互动。最常见的假牙问题包括咀嚼不适、美观问题以及发音问题。确定患者期望及其对治疗满意度的影响至关重要。关于传统假牙与种植牙治疗的功能结果、患者满意度和成本效益的现有证据是无牙患者治疗计划中需要考虑的重要因素。本文旨在回顾一些关于成功治疗无牙患者的典型文献。
