Our purpose was to study some patient attitudes related to edentulousness and aspects of the personal relationship between patient and dentist. Seventy-four edentulous patients at a dental school, all experienced denture wearers, were interviewed before the insertion of new complete dentures. Half of them felt bitter and sad about the loss of their teeth. This attitude was found significantly more frequently in women than men. More than 3/4 were quite willing to talk to others about having dentures. Almost as many, however, refused to appear in front of others without their dentures. Nearly 70% seemed to have accepted their dentures as a part of themselves. More than 80% of the patients expressed that satisfaction with new dentures may be influenced by the personal relationship between patient and dentist. A similar proportion expressed that satisfaction with dentures may be influenced by their own cooperation. There seemed to be less agreement about how they should cooperate and also what the responsibilities of the dentist were. None of these patient attitudes or opinions were significantly related to acceptance of new dentures.
我们的目的是研究一些与无牙状态相关的患者态度，以及患者与牙医之间人际关系的各个方面。一所牙科学院的74名无牙患者，均为有经验的假牙佩戴者，在佩戴新的全口假牙之前接受了访谈。其中一半人对牙齿缺失感到痛苦和悲伤。这种态度在女性中出现的频率明显高于男性。超过3/4的人很愿意与他人谈论佩戴假牙的事情。然而，几乎同样多的人拒绝在不戴假牙的情况下出现在他人面前。近70%的人似乎已将假牙视为自身的一部分。超过80%的患者表示，对新假牙的满意度可能会受到患者与牙医之间人际关系的影响。类似比例的患者表示，对假牙的满意度可能会受到自身配合程度的影响。对于应该如何配合以及牙医的职责是什么，意见似乎不太一致。这些患者的态度或观点均与接受新假牙没有显著关联。
