Journal Title: Medicine in Evolution - Year 2017, Vol 0, Issue 3
Abstract
During recent years, there is highlight on the importance the self image has for shaping and developing the system of concepts and attitudes of an individual, with respect to health problems. The smile is a veritable business card nowadays. Dental veneers represent devices that cover the vestibular surfaces of teeth by a thin layer of esthetic material. The aim of this paper was to study the degree of satisfaction of the patient with dental veneers, after being instructed and motivated to keep a correct oral-dental hygiene. Material and method: The study included 24 patients who received treatment by veneer application. This was a longitudinal, prospective cohort study with patients monitored for a 6 months period. They were monitored before the dental intervention as well as after the dental veneers were set into place. Data were processed with Microsoft Excel and Epi Info v7. Results: By applying the Chi squared test for proportions we found that there are extremely significant differences (p<0.001) between the group of content patients and those who are discontent, the content group being significantly larger. When comparing the second category we found that for our group there are no significant differences ( ) between the proportion of those who choose veneers for purely esthetic reasons and those who choose dental veneers as a response to certain dental problems. All the results are shown in the following tables. As a general conclusion, we might state that for a patient decided for this type of treatment and adequately motivated for a correct oral-dental hygiene and nutrition, dental veneers may be a reliable and safe solution for solving the inesthetic aspect of the smile.
