Edentulism is a condition associated with age, and the outcome of prosthodontic treatment depends on a number of dental and nondental factors. In complete denture therapy, patient satisfaction is a key objective and various other variables affect this parameter. The ability to foresee its preferences may assist dentists in making informed treatment selections. The study purpose is to assess the expectations of treatment outcomes in complete denture users. For the study, all cases referred for total denture therapy during September 2020 and February 2021 were included. Both new and old denture users completed questionnaires on factors such as retention, mastication, phonetics, esthetics, and comfort. Excel was used to compile the data, which was then imported into SPSS for statistical analysis. The study's statistical significance level was established at < 0.05. Male patients over the age of 60 years wearing dentures were very common. Denture wearers were highly prevalent in the age group of >60 years among male patients. Retention, esthetics, and phonetics are highly satisfied in existing denture wearers and mastication is highly satisfied in new denture wearers. The comfort factor is commonly satisfied in both the denture wearers. The results were statistically significant with a = 0.05. Clinician can plan their treatments more effectively if they are aware of the treatment's expectations.
无牙颌是一种与年龄相关的状况，而义齿修复治疗的效果取决于许多牙齿和非牙齿因素。在全口义齿治疗中，患者满意度是一个关键目标，还有其他各种变量会影响这一参数。能够预见患者的偏好可能有助于牙医做出明智的治疗选择。本研究的目的是评估全口义齿使用者对治疗效果的期望。在本研究中，纳入了2020年9月至2021年2月期间所有转诊接受全口义齿治疗的病例。新老义齿使用者都完成了关于固位、咀嚼、语音、美观和舒适度等因素的问卷调查。使用Excel对数据进行汇总，然后导入SPSS进行统计分析。本研究的统计学显著性水平设定为<0.05。60岁以上佩戴义齿的男性患者非常常见。在男性患者中，60岁以上年龄组的义齿佩戴者非常普遍。现有义齿佩戴者对固位、美观和语音高度满意，新义齿佩戴者对咀嚼高度满意。舒适度因素在两类义齿佩戴者中普遍得到满足。结果具有统计学显著性，P = 0.05。如果临床医生了解患者对治疗的期望，他们就能更有效地规划治疗方案。
