This study validates a denture satisfaction questionnaire. The reliable and valid instrument effectively measures patient satisfaction with full dentures.

Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Prosthodontics
  • Patient-Reported Outcomes

Background:

  • Denture satisfaction is crucial for patient well-being and treatment success.
  • Existing measures may not fully capture the nuances of denture complaints.
  • A reliable and valid tool is needed to quantify patient experiences with dentures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the reliability and validity of a newly developed complaints questionnaire for assessing denture satisfaction.
  • To determine if the questionnaire can differentiate between patients awaiting new dentures and those who have recently received them.

Main Methods:

  • Two patient groups (n=113 awaiting new dentures, n=102 with new dentures) completed the questionnaire.
  • Five denture complaint scales were derived from the questionnaire data.

  • Internal consistency (coefficient alpha) and discriminatory ability between groups were assessed.
  • Pearson correlation coefficients were used to evaluate relationships with satisfaction-related questions.

    • Main Results:

    • The constructed scales demonstrated good internal consistency, with coefficient alpha values ranging from 0.65 to 0.92.
    • The scales effectively discriminated between the two patient groups (P <= 0.001).
    • Significant correlations were found between scale scores and overall satisfaction (r = 0.25-0.79).

    Conclusions:

    • The developed questionnaire is a reliable and valid instrument for measuring denture satisfaction.
    • The questionnaire provides a quantitative measure of patient complaints and satisfaction with full dentures.
    • This tool can aid clinicians in assessing and improving denture care outcomes.
