This retrospective clinical study aimed to assess patient's satisfaction with removable partial dentures (RPDs), as retention, chewing ability, aesthetics during the observation period.
A total of 63 patients with RPDs, participated in this study. The following data was collected: Kennedy classification, denture design, denture support, satisfaction and success of RPD.
The results showed that 73.6% of patients were wearing RPD for the first time and were finally satisfied. According to the denture support of RPDs, clasp-retained quadrangular RPDs were 100% effective, followed by triangular dental support 81% and linear dental support 47.7%. Comparison of RPDs with attachment with RPDs with claps assessed through Fisher exact test, confirmed statistically significant difference (P=0.008), despite retention; however, chewing ability and aesthetics showed no statistically significant difference with X on patient's satisfaction with RPD with or without attachment.
Patients often would prefer not showing the anterior buccal clasps of RPD, therefore are generally satisfied more with RPD with attachment based on level of retention, chewing ability and aesthetics.
本回顾性临床研究旨在评估患者对可摘局部义齿(RPD)在观察期内的固位、咀嚼能力和美观方面的满意度。
共有63例佩戴RPD的患者参与本研究。收集了以下数据:肯尼迪分类、义齿设计、义齿支持、RPD的满意度和成功率。
结果显示,73.6%的患者首次佩戴RPD并最终感到满意。根据RPD的义齿支持情况,卡环固位四角形RPD的有效率为100%,其次是三角形牙支持81%和线性牙支持47.7%。通过Fisher精确检验评估的带附着体RPD与带卡环RPD的比较,证实存在统计学显著差异(P = 0.008),尽管有固位情况;然而,咀嚼能力和美观在患者对有无附着体的RPD满意度方面,经X检验显示无统计学显著差异。
患者通常不希望露出RPD的前颊侧卡环,因此基于固位、咀嚼能力和美观程度,患者通常对带附着体的RPD更满意。
