A study of the adjustment of patients in relation to their prosthodontic problems

Patients' self-concept and personality have been shown to deteriorate with an increase in prosthodontic problems. This study determined whether patients with prosthodontic problems varying in severity showed different levels of adjustment. Four groups of patients, including a control group, were studied. The three experimental groups differed from the control group and varied in their adjustment in relation to their prosthodontic problems.
