Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Dental Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 3
Abstract
Abstract: The adaptation period to prosthetic wear is accompanied by functional disorders likely to reduce therapeutic success. This study aimed to evaluate patients’ assessment of removable prosthesis functional quality. This cross-sectional study related to 51 voluntary patients of the both sexes. The instrument used was a scale of appreciation graduated from 1 to 5. The operator recorded for each question the mark that the patient allotted to his prosthesis on the scale; 1 means the weakest assessment and 5 the highest one. The statistical analysis was made by SPSS Version 16.0 with the risk error of 5 %. The prostheses stability had a score higher than the median for 82.4% of the patients. Prostheses had a satisfactory retention for 78.4% of the sample. Patients who allotted to elocution a note higher than the median accounted for 78.4%. The masticatory effectiveness was satisfactory for 70.7% of the patients. The removable prostheses seem to get a satisfying functional contribution. All the same, the development of reliable evaluation criteria would allow a more objective assessment of the therapeutic success.
