| Popis: |
The purpose of this retrospective study was to investigate the factors that affected the usage of removable partial dentures (RPDs) and the patients’ satisfaction with their RPDs 5 years after insertion. Sixty-seven patients treated with 90 RPDs that were inserted at the Tohoku University Hospital between 1996 and 2001 participated in this study. The usage rate and 12 factors that might affect usage were examined, and 15 factors regarding satisfaction were evaluated. Statistically significant associations were found between denture usage and patient’s age, location of edentulous area, pain, color of artificial teeth, and arrangement. These findings suggest that the acceptance of RPDs among patients was related to factors such as patient’s age, oral status, and satisfaction. |
