“…In the present study putting hands on the difference in patient's satisfaction with different levels of operator's experience, was evaluated. The results indicated that for many reasons, no significant difference was observed in patient satisfaction and quality of life with the complete dentures constructed by dental students and those by professional prosthodontists, and that conclusion was in accordance with other research (28,29,31) .…”

“…Some authors' opinion is that the "psychological discomfort" domain reflects psychological capacities, which highlights the significance of the dentist-patient relationship and has greater impact than physical aspects. Although several clinicians and patients believe that the success of dental treatments could be affected by the dentist's experience; however, the results on this issue are inconclusive (29,30,31) .…”

Edentulism prevalence is high in many developing countries, which dictates replacement with a convenient restoration. Meeting patients' expectations and fulfilling their demands is the supreme criterion for complete denture satisfaction. Appearance and efficiency are the ultimate predominant factors. Patient satisfaction is the key to good quality of life which is a human's birthright.The aim of this study is to identify the preponderant dimension of patient satisfaction, with special concern for patient perception toward the dentist's experience and professionality.Methodology: 116 completely edentulous patients were selected from the outpatient clinic, 58 patients (group I) had their dentures constructed by dental students, and 58 (group II) had their dentures constructed by prosthodontists. A questionnaire-based survey was utilized to detect patients' satisfaction with their dentures and recognize if there was a difference in satisfaction scores among the two groups.Results: Patients were generally satisfied with their dentures, and most of them had the highest level of satisfaction with denture esthetics and the lowest satisfaction score with eating difficulties. As for satisfaction difference between groups I and II, there was no significant difference found among both groups. Conclusion:It was concluded that the most common problem experienced by the patients generally was eating difficulties followed by retention problems, then other miscellaneous problems, pain and discomfort, and finally esthetics. As for the difference in the overall satisfaction level among both groups, there was no significant difference between patients treated by dental students and those treated by specialized prosthodontists.

“…Unfortunately, this can only be achieved in favorable oral conditions that mostly apply to the satisfactory edentulous ridge form and height affecting stability and retention of the dentures in Implant-Retained Maxillary and Mandibular Overdentures -A Solution for Completely… DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.5772/intechopen.99575 function [18,19]. It has already been proved that ill-fitting conventional complete dentures can compromise patient's oral function and therefore cause psychosocial problems and decrease his/her oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) [20,21]. The most often recorded complains among conventional complete denture wearers are pure or fair chewing ability, mostly within the subjects who had lost more than 50% of their estimated original ridge height, correlating the residual ridge resorption with worsening of the complete denture stability during mastication [22,23].…”

The main goal of modern removable prosthodontics is to restore the normal appearance, function, esthetics and speech in each completely edentulous patient. However, if all teeth are missing in a patient, it becomes very complicated to achieve it using traditional protocols. Therefore, implants were introduced into removable prosthodontics to ensure better retention and stability of the conventional dentures. In case of a large amount of bone missing in the jaw it is necessary to ensure the functioning of the dentures constructing various additional stabilizing and retentive prosthodontic solutions on the osseointegrated implants. Numerous types of attachment systems have been used recently for relating implant-retained overdentures to underlying implants: basically splinting (various bar shape designs) and non-splinting attachments (various ball type attachment, magnet attachment, telescopic coping systems). Indications for their use depend on the surgical and prosthodontic factors such as the number and position of the implants, the amount of free intermaxillary space and the type and size of the overdentures. Different indications, types of the overdentures and the attachment systems will be discussed in this chapter.

“…For some patients, satisfaction with dentures relates to comfort, masticatory efficiency, esthetics, retention, and the ability of the patient to adjust to dentures [ 22 , 27 ]. Psychological-related aspects are the greatest factor affecting OHRQoL among elderly denture wearers [ 22 , 27 , 28 ].…”

(1) Background: The degree of satisfaction with dental treatment varies among patients, and the discrepancy may exist between the patient’s subjective evaluation and the objective assessment. Further, the optimal methods for increasing patient satisfaction with mastication remain unclear. This study aimed to identify factors affecting masticatory satisfaction in patients with removable partial dentures. (2) Methods: A total of 132 participants (71.0 ± 9.0 years) were included. Masticatory satisfaction was assessed on a visual analog scale. An oral health survey was conducted to assess the number of functional teeth, missing tooth classification: Kennedy classification, occlusal support: Eichner classification, and removable partial dentures wearing jaw. Objective masticatory performance was assessed using gummy jelly, while subjective masticatory ability was assessed using food acceptance status and oral health-related quality of life. The associations of these factors with masticatory satisfaction were assessed. (3) Results: Masticatory satisfaction among removable partial denture wearers was not significantly associated with gender, age, denture wearing jaw, Kennedy classification, and occlusal support. The degree of masticatory satisfaction was significantly greater with higher levels of masticatory function: masticatory performance, food acceptance score, and OHIP-14 score. The OHIP-14 score was the only significant explanatory variable for masticatory satisfaction in the multiple regression analysis; the strongest associations were with the “psychological discomfort” and “physical disability” subscales (p = 0.02 and p = 0.005, respectively). (4) Conclusions: Masticatory satisfaction among removable partial denture wearers was strongly associated with oral health-related quality of life, in which the ability to eat meals comfortably with removable partial dentures is the most important determinant of masticatory satisfaction.
