[Evaluation and wearing habits of complete dentures--results from a patient questionnaire]

In a questionnaire answered by 578 patients with new total dentures the personal attitude of the patient to his dental replacement was tested. Ninety per cent of the patients considered their dentures to be good or satisfactory, while 10 per cent were not satisfied. In addition, findings regarding the length of time for and manner in which dentures are being worn as well as denture care and expectations concerning prosthetical treatment are reported.
