Description
The study assessed perceptions of completely edentulous patients regarding complete denture therapy, utilizing a validated questionnaire that categorized responses into benefits, risks, and consequences of no treatment. Results indicated a predominantly positive perception, with participants scoring highest in the benefits domain, reflecting strong recognition of denture advantages. Conversely, concerns about risks scored the lowest, suggesting minimal apprehension about negative outcomes. Notably, the analysis found no significant differences in perceptions based on gender, denture experience, or socioeconomic status, indicating these factors did not influence attitudes toward the therapy. Overall, the findings demonstrate that patients generally view complete denture therapy favorably, particularly in terms of its benefits, while expressing minimal concerns about associated risks. This study underscores the uniformity of positive patient attitudes across different demographic and experiential backgrounds. These insights can help dental professionals better understand patient attitudes, potentially improving patient education and satisfaction with complete denture therapy.
