Patient acceptance of complete dentures hinges on psychological and interpersonal factors, not demographics or anatomy. Successful denture therapy relies on understanding these psychosocial elements for better patient outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Dental Prosthetics
  • Patient-Reported Outcomes
  • Psychosocial Factors in Healthcare

Background:

  • Complete denture therapy aims for patient acceptance and satisfaction.
  • Understanding factors influencing successful denture outcomes is crucial for clinical practice.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate complete denture patients' experiences.
  • To develop a model explaining successful denture therapy.
  • To understand patient acceptance of complete dentures.

Main Methods:

  • Sixty complete denture patients were followed from pretreatment through 18 months post-delivery.
  • Data collected via examinations, pretreatment questionnaires, and posttreatment interviews.
  • Multivariate analyses examined factors related to three outcome measures of denture success.

Main Results:

  • High patient satisfaction (76.7%), met expectations (74.6%), and easy adjustment (66.7%) were reported post-insertion and at 6/18 months.
  • Logistic regression indicated psychological and interpersonal factors are stronger predictors of denture satisfaction than anatomical or clinical factors.

Conclusions:

  • Demographic and anatomical characteristics were not significantly associated with denture success in this study.
  • Psychosocial variables, including pretreatment expectations and mental health, showed a stronger relationship with successful denture outcomes.
  • These findings highlight the importance of psychosocial considerations in complete denture therapy.
