This study developed a quantitative method to assess patient satisfaction with complete dentures. Seven key factors were identified, enabling a reliable scoring system for treatment outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Prosthodontics
  • Patient-Reported Outcome Measures

Background:

  • Evaluating patient satisfaction with complete dentures is crucial for diagnosis, treatment planning, and outcome assessment.
  • Existing methods for satisfaction evaluation lack reproducibility and quantitative rigor.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the contribution of various factors to overall patient satisfaction with complete dentures.
  • To develop a quantitative method for assessing complete denture satisfaction.

Main Methods:

  • A survey assessing 12 satisfaction factors using a three-grade scale was administered to 302 complete denture patients.
  • Multiple regression analysis was employed to identify factors significantly correlated with overall satisfaction.
  • A scoring system was developed based on the contribution of seven significant factors.

Main Results:

  • Seven factors were found to be highly correlated with overall patient satisfaction.
  • A novel scoring method was established, converting factor scores to a 0-100 scale.
  • The developed quantification score demonstrated a strong correlation with overall satisfaction levels.

Conclusions:

  • A scientifically validated protocol for scoring complete denture patient satisfaction has been developed.
  • This quantitative method provides a reproducible tool for evaluating treatment outcomes.
  • The findings facilitate improved patient care through objective assessment of denture satisfaction.
