Summary

Most patients adapt to full dentures despite impaired oral function, with satisfaction unrelated to technical quality. Identifying non-acceptors remains challenging for clinicians, relying on individual patient adaptation estimates.

Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Prosthodontics
  • Oral Health

Background:

  • Full dentures often lead to significant oral function decline.
  • Patient satisfaction with dentures may stem more from adaptation than technical perfection.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate factors influencing patient acceptance of full dentures.
  • To identify reliable predictors for full denture acceptance.

Main Methods:

  • Review of research on variables affecting full denture acceptance.
  • Analysis of patient satisfaction data in relation to denture quality and patient characteristics.

Main Results:

  • Technical denture quality and numerous patient-related factors show negligible impact on acceptance.
  • Current predictive models for denture acceptance are insufficient.
  • Key variables like motor ability and saliva quality require further investigation.

Conclusions:

  • Human adaptation plays a crucial role in full denture acceptance, overshadowing technical aspects.
  • Clinicians lack reliable methods to predict which patients will struggle with full dentures.
  • Individual patient adaptive capacity remains the primary basis for clinical prediction.
