Journal Title: Journal of Advanced Medical and Dental Sciences Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 12
Abstract
Background: Patient’s dissatisfaction with removable partial denture also depends on some of reasons such as risk to local damage of the remaining teeth, for e.g. caries, periodontal disease, plaque accumulation, oral candidiasis, denture stomatitis, etc. Aim: The assessment of patient’s satisfaction with removable partial dentures (RPDs). Materials and method: The present study was conducted in the department of prosthodontics of the dental institution. For the study sample, we contacted 30 patients from the previous medical records of 6 years who got treatment for partially edentulous ridge with removable partial denture. The age of the patients ranged from 18 to 60 years. It was made sure that each patient had either one of the maxillary or mandibular RPD for the evaluation. The patients were asked to fill up a questionnaire. The acceptance of RPD was marked as excellent, good or bad. The patients were asked to rate the acceptance of RPD for aesthetics, comfort and masticatory efficacy. Results: The majority of patients reported excellent aesthetics, comfort, hygiene, masticatory efficacy and retention. Only 5 patients in total reported bad experience with Removable partial denture. The results were statistically significant. Conclusion: The treatment for partially edentulous ridge with Removable partial denture is satisfactory for majority of cases. Only few cases reported to be having bad experience with RPD.
