Abstract

Edentulism is a condition associated with age, and the outcome of prosthodontic treatment depends on a number of dental and nondental factors. In complete denture therapy, patient satisfaction is a key objective and various other variables affect this parameter. The ability to foresee its preferences may assist dentists in making informed treatment selections. The study purpose is to assess the expectations of treatment outcomes in complete denture users. For the study, all cases referred for total denture therapy during September 2020 and February 2021 were included. Both new and old denture users completed questionnaires on factors such as retention, mastication, phonetics, esthetics, and comfort. Excel was used to compile the data, which was then imported into SPSS for statistical analysis. The study's statistical significance level was established at P < 0.05. Male patients over the age of 60 years wearing dentures were very common. Denture wearers were highly prevalent in the age group of >60 years among male patients. Retention, esthetics, and phonetics are highly satisfied in existing denture wearers and mastication is highly satisfied in new denture wearers. The comfort factor is commonly satisfied in both the denture wearers. The results were statistically significant with a P = 0.05. Clinician can plan their treatments more effectively if they are aware of the treatment's expectations.
