Perceptions of Complete Denture Therapy

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.
