Knowing how patients really feel after treatment is, very often, as relevant as the success rate of the conventional dentures and it can even be the measurement of masticatory function.
This questionnaire survey aimed to analyse the satisfaction level and masticatory efficiency of patients treated with conventional complete dentures.
Thirty edentulous patients were considered in the study. Satisfaction level and masticatory efficiency were analysed based on specific questionnaires for edentulous patients and by a likert rating scale from 0 to 5, at three moments: Prior to treatment (edentulous period), after the insertion of the new dentures and at 30-45 days follow-up.
Thirty patients including 12 male and 18 female patients (mean age 65 years), who voluntarily came for the services. T-test was applied at three different levels.
The rehabilitation with conventional complete dentures produced an improvement (p < 0.05) in satisfaction level and masticatory efficiency.
Thus, those patients who were edentulous previously and dissatisfied with their masticatory ability showed improvement after receiving a new set of conventional complete dentures.
了解患者在治疗后的真实感受通常与传统义齿的成功率一样重要，甚至可以衡量咀嚼功能。
本问卷调查旨在分析经传统全口义齿治疗的患者的满意度和咀嚼效率。
本研究共纳入 30 名无牙患者。根据无牙患者的特定问卷以及 0 到 5 的李克特评分量表，在三个时间点分析满意度和咀嚼效率：治疗前（无牙期）、新义齿插入后和 30-45 天随访时。
30 名患者，包括 12 名男性和 18 名女性患者（平均年龄 65 岁），自愿接受治疗。在三个不同水平应用了 t 检验。
常规全口义齿修复在满意度和咀嚼效率方面均有改善（p<0.05）。
因此，那些以前无牙且对咀嚼能力不满意的患者在接受新的常规全口义齿后得到了改善。
