“…It is widely used to evaluate patient satisfaction for treatment, denture retention, and psychological attitude. [ 4 5 ] VAS can also be extensively used to support and validate clinical research findings in prosthodontics. An assessment as a supplementary outcome in most of the clinical prosthodontic researches, particularly in randomized clinical trials, aids in better understanding, ranking, and validation of the scale.…”

“…With the help of questionnaire patient satisfaction which is considered as treatment outcome had been considered. 15 Existing denture wearers are often difficult to treat and satisfy by the dentist than the first time denture wearer. Therefore, this study helps to find the satisfaction and expectation factors in existing denture wearer and first time denture wearer.…”

Introduction: Edentulism is considered a debilitating condition with aging in which several dental and non-dental factors play a vital role in the success of prosthodontic treatment. Patient satisfaction is an important non-dental component. The dentist should aim for functional rehabilitation by satisfying the patient medically, functionally, and psychologically. Patient satisfaction depends on two factors: patient factor and dentist factor. From the patient’s view, satisfaction is guided by improved quality with factors like eating, easy communication, comfort, social life, economic status, and vocational opportunities. From dentist’s view, treatment options, treatment cost etc. affects the patient’s satisfaction. Materials and Methods: Experimental study conducted in Department of Prosthodontics, College of Medical Sciences, Bharatpur in patients receiving complete denture by convenience sampling in six months duration in sixty-five samples. Questionnaires regarding patient’s expectations and satisfaction in terms of retention, mastication, phonetics, esthetics, and comfort were used in both 1st-time denture wearer and existing denture wearer was recorded. Grading was rated with Visual Analog Scale (VAS) from 0 to 10 using the optimum cutoff values. Data were recorded in SPSS 21 and analyzed. Results: Independent t-test was carried out for expectation showing a statistically significant difference between retention, mastication, aesthetics, phonetics, comfort, and denture status with p value 0.036, 0.00, 0.001, 0.003, and 0.013 respectively. Statistically, a significant difference was found for satisfaction between aesthetics and denture status with a p-value of 0.01. Conclusions: Expectation and satisfaction were found to be more in first-time denture wearers than existing denture wearers. Experiences obtained beforehand with complete dentures could influence patient expectations and satisfaction.

“…Patient's satisfaction has often been considered as a treatment outcome and thus with the help of a questionnaire the satisfaction was assessed. [ 15 ] Further, it is always difficult for the dentists to treat a previous denture wearer than a first-time denture wearer. Many a times, this parameter was not taken as a significant one.…”

Aim: The aim of the study was to evaluate the patients’ expectation and satisfaction with complete dentures before and after the treatment concerning retention, mastication, phonetics, esthetics, and comfort among the first-time denture wearers and already denture wearers and to find the correlation between duration of denture-wearing experience and satisfaction. Settings and Design: Cross sectional survey . Materials and Methods: A questionnaire was given to the patient before the onset of the treatment, and ratings were given by the patient for expectation regarding retention, mastication, phonetics, esthetics, and comfort. Patient-related variables regarding previous denture experience and duration of wearing were also recorded. After the treatment was completed, the patient was asked to complete the same questionnaire to assess the satisfaction. Statistical Analysis Used: Descriptive statistics, frequency and percentage analysis, Wilcoxon signed- rank test, Mann–Whitney U-test. Results: Expectation and satisfaction were met for all the variables except mastication ( P = 0.004) for first-time wearers and except mastication ( P = 0.001) and comfort ( P = 0.007) among existing denture wearers. However, no significant correlation was elicited between patient expectation and satisfaction in both these groups as the overall mean satisfaction percentage was similar. A clinical significance of P = 0.037 was seen with respect to the duration of denture-wearing experience among existing wearers. Regression model analysis showed a decreased satisfaction with increased duration of wearing ( r = 0.396). Conclusions: Satisfaction and expectation were found to be almost the same irrespective of whether they are first-time wearers or existing wearers. With the increase in the duration of denture-wearing experience, the satisfaction of the patients decreased.
