A questionnaire was sent to all 189 edentulous patients with denture adaptation problems who were treated with fixed prostheses on osseointegrated oral implants during the period 1965-1978. One hundred and fifty-two patients (80%) responded. Practically all had adapted well to the prostheses and were most satisfied with the rehabilitated oral function, including chewing ability. Four out of five patients regarded the bridge as part of their own body instead of a foreign object, and 90% would not hesitate to have the treatment performed again, if necessary. Parallel with the improved oral function the patients reported a definite reduction of psychosocial problems associated with their previous oral invalidity, and increased security and self-esteem.
一份问卷被寄给了1965年至1978年期间接受骨结合式口腔种植体固定修复治疗且存在义齿适应问题的189名无牙患者。152名患者（80%）做出了回应。实际上所有患者都很好地适应了修复体，并且对包括咀嚼能力在内的口腔功能恢复非常满意。五分之四的患者将修复桥体视为自身身体的一部分而非异物，并且90%的患者表示如有必要，会毫不犹豫地再次接受该治疗。随着口腔功能的改善，患者报告与之前口腔功能丧失相关的心理社会问题明显减少，安全感和自尊心增强。
