This study measured the psychologic attitudes of patients to implant prostheses and compared their status before and after therapy. Questionnaires were mailed to 95 patients with implants placed and restored at a university dental school. The implants had been in position for an average of 2.2 years. The patients had previously worn removable complete or partial dentures. Different questions addressed eating, speaking, relationships, employment, social life, esthetics, maintenance, and overall dental health. Sixty-one questionnaires were returned (64%). Satisfaction with the implant prosthesis was significantly greater than for the denture (p less than 0.0001). Responses to individual questions indicated that confidence was improved (88%), implants were worth the trouble (97%), the procedure would be worth repeating (89%), and overall dental health was improved (98%). This survey suggests that patients' attitudes toward their dental health improve significantly after treatment with implant prostheses.
本研究测量了患者对种植假体的心理态度，并比较了他们在治疗前后的状况。向一所大学牙科学院中95名已植入并修复种植体的患者邮寄了调查问卷。种植体在位平均时间为2.2年。这些患者此前佩戴过可摘全口或局部义齿。不同问题涉及饮食、说话、人际关系、就业、社交生活、美观、维护以及整体口腔健康。共收回61份问卷（64%）。对种植假体的满意度显著高于义齿（p<0.0001）。对各个问题的回答表明，信心有所增强（88%），认为种植体值得麻烦一番的占97%，认为该手术值得再次进行的占89%，认为整体口腔健康有所改善的占98%。这项调查表明，患者在接受种植假体治疗后对其口腔健康的态度有显著改善。
