Patient satisfaction with complete dentures received from an urban district hospital

Abstract

Aim Edentulousness usually impaires a patient's ability to chew and perform other oral functions, resulting in a wide range of health and oral-helath-related quality of life impacts. Whilst implant-retained overdentures have clear benefits, for the majority of edentulous patients, implant retained dentures will never be a reality, and mucosa-borne dentures will be their only choice.
