Twenty edentulous patients had unsatisfactory dentures replaced in a student clinic, using conventional techniques, under consultant supervision. Three visual analogue scale records of self-assessed mandibular denture security were made while the dentures were fabricated, and two were made following placement of the new dentures to measure any changes occurring. The method appeared reliable, and significant improvements in security were recorded. The percent increase in security and the coefficient of variation of the preplacement visual analogue scale scores were each inversely proportional to the preplacement visual analogue scale scores. This relationship may be useful in the identification of patients with special problems.
在顾问的监督下，20名无牙患者在学生诊所使用传统技术更换了不合适的假牙。在制作假牙时，进行了三次自我评估下颌假牙稳固性的视觉模拟量表记录，在佩戴新假牙后又进行了两次记录，以测量发生的任何变化。该方法似乎可靠，并且记录到稳固性有显著改善。稳固性的百分比增加和佩戴前视觉模拟量表分数的变异系数均与佩戴前视觉模拟量表分数成反比。这种关系可能有助于识别有特殊问题的患者。
