A simple examination instrument (the Edentulous Exam form) was developed to be used in a regular and systematic manner to determine outcomes or prognoses for the edentulous patient. Factors that can complicate treatment are discussed. When a dentist can gather information about what a patient is presenting with, a satisfactory outcome or prognosis can be effectively projected before the actual treatment commences.
开发了一种简单的检查工具（无牙颌检查表），以便以常规和系统的方式用于确定无牙颌患者的治疗结果或预后。文中讨论了可能使治疗复杂化的因素。当牙医能够收集到患者所呈现问题的相关信息时，就可以在实际治疗开始前有效地预测出令人满意的治疗结果或预后。
