Summary

Patient satisfaction with new complete dentures is influenced by their attitude and previous experience, not oral health or personality. These factors explain only 33% of satisfaction, highlighting its unpredictable nature.

Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Prosthodontics
  • Patient-Reported Outcomes

Background:

  • Complete denture satisfaction is crucial for patient quality of life.
  • Predicting satisfaction with new dentures remains a challenge for clinicians.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify key factors influencing patient satisfaction with complete dentures.
  • To determine the predictive value of pre-treatment variables on denture satisfaction.

Main Methods:

  • A cohort of 130 patients receiving new complete dentures were studied.
  • Patient attitude, oral conditions, and personality traits were assessed.
  • Satisfaction levels were measured post-treatment.

Main Results:

  • Patient attitude towards dentures and the number of previous dentures worn were significant predictors of satisfaction.

  • Oral conditions and personality traits (neuroticism, health locus of control) showed minimal impact.
  • Only 33% of the variance in satisfaction was explained by the studied variables.

    • Conclusions:

    • Pre-treatment patient attitude and history of denture use are valuable indicators of potential satisfaction.
    • Denture satisfaction is highly individualized and often unpredictable, even with known factors.
    • Further research is needed to explore additional determinants of complete denture satisfaction.
