In response to the Commission of Dental Accreditation (CODA) mandate of a competency in the "replacement of teeth including fixed, removable and implant" prostheses, a predoctoral implant curriculum was implemented at New York University College of Dentistry. The assessment of the success or failure of a program should include an assessment of patient satisfaction with the treatment received in the predoctoral clinics.
The purpose of this study was to measure patient satisfaction with the mandibular 2-implant-retained overdenture therapy received in the predoctoral program at New York University College of Dentistry.
A telephone survey of patients who received an implant-retained overdenture in the predoctoral clinics at New York University, College of Dentistry (n=101) was conducted. Two of the authors contacted patients for participation in the survey and, using a prepared script, asked about their satisfaction with items such as function, comfort, and esthetics in addition to their overall satisfaction with the treatment they received. Data were analyzed with descriptive statistics.
The study revealed that 79% of participants were satisfied with their masticatory ability, 84% were satisfied with the comfort of the prosthesis, and 89% were satisfied with the esthetics of their new prosthesis. Additionally, 85% of participants reported satisfaction with the overall treatment experience, and 90% would recommend that a friend receive the same treatment.
The results of this study support the incorporation of treatment with an implant-retained mandibular overdenture as part of the routine care provided in the predoctoral education program to meet the mandates of CODA.
为响应牙科认证委员会（CODA）关于“牙齿替换，包括固定、活动和种植义齿修复体”的能力要求，纽约大学牙科学院开设了一门口腔修复前种植学课程。评估一个项目的成功与否，应该包括评估患者对在口腔修复前诊所接受的治疗的满意度。
本研究旨在测量在纽约大学牙科学院接受口腔修复前种植治疗的患者对下颌 2 个种植体固位覆盖义齿治疗的满意度。
对纽约大学牙科学院口腔修复前诊所接受种植体固位覆盖义齿治疗的患者（n=101）进行了电话调查。两位作者联系患者参与调查，并根据准备好的脚本询问他们对功能、舒适度和美观等方面的满意度，以及对他们接受的治疗的总体满意度。采用描述性统计方法对数据进行分析。
研究表明，79%的参与者对其咀嚼能力感到满意，84%对义齿的舒适度感到满意，89%对新义齿的美观感到满意。此外，85%的参与者对整体治疗体验感到满意，90%的参与者表示会推荐朋友接受同样的治疗。
本研究结果支持将下颌种植体固位覆盖义齿治疗纳入口腔修复前教育项目的常规治疗中，以满足 CODA 的要求。
