Area of Science:

  • Geriatric Dentistry
  • Prosthodontics
  • Patient Satisfaction Studies

Background:

  • Removable partial dentures (RPDs) are common in patients aged 50-70.
  • Assessing patient satisfaction and identifying factors influencing it is crucial for effective prosthodontic care.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate patient satisfaction with removable partial dentures (RPDs) in a specific age group.
  • To identify factors associated with RPD satisfaction and dissatisfaction.

Main Methods:

  • Telephone interviews were conducted with 100 patients aged 50-70 who received RPDs.
  • Questionnaires assessed denture experience, attitudes, and satisfaction levels.

Main Results:

  • A high overall satisfaction rate with RPDs was reported.
  • Women experienced a higher incidence of problems with mandibular RPDs.
  • A significant portion (one-third) did not attend recall appointments.
  • Prior denture satisfaction and denture use during meals were statistically linked to current satisfaction.

Conclusions:

  • Overall satisfaction with RPDs is high in the 50-70 age group.
  • Specific demographic factors (e.g., gender) and usage habits (e.g., removing dentures for eating) influence RPD outcomes.
  • Patient recall adherence may be an area for improvement in prosthodontic care.
