Through this study we aim firstly, to understand the correlation between pain, intensity of pain and different clinical Data. Secondly, to highlight the accurate etiological diagnosis and be able to take the adequate decison for pain managment. This study was carried out on 200 edentulous patients who came to the departement of complete denture of dental clinic at Monastir Tunisia from february to june2019.All the patients were examined and assessed by one prosthodontist under the supervision of a professor. A questionnaire was used to record information wich was taken directly from the patient when they attend the dental clinic. The patient consent were taken verbally. The questionnaire included 19 questions divided in 3 heading: Medical history, exploration of pain and its intensity and Management strategies. The statiscal analysis were done with an SPSS's logiciel version 22.0. The results are presented in form of tables and graphics. Moreover, in this study the most common chief complaint was pain 63% of the sample. This result corroborate with other studies in litterature. Besides, a statistically significant relationship was observed between pain and patient’s satisfaction with their prosthesis (P=0.044<0,05). However, no significant difference was found between pain and other differents clinical Data (age, gender, general condition ….) (P>0.05). Neither between intensity of pain and different clinical data (P<0.05). This result came in argument with results of other worldwide researches. Finally, we came to the conclusion that management strategy of pain must follow a comprehensive, multidisciplinary and systemic approach.
The renewal of removable dentures is often suggested to denture wearers subject to discomfort. However, the impact of this rehabilitation on patients’ oral health related quality of life and their removable dentures related satisfaction is still unknown. This study was aimed at assessing these patient-centered outcomes and the potential impact of different factors. Materials and methods: • In our study, the most appropriate parameters to assess the prosthetic quality have been collected to evaluate the satisfaction perceived by patients about their denture; their complaints and the causes of the refabrication. • A completely new questionnaire has been drawn up including: Reason patients requested new dentures (fit, esthetics, broken denture, wear, recommandations of dentist, extractions), satisfaction with the old prosthesis (general, retention, stability, comfort, pronunciation, chewing, esthetics), and technical quality of the old prosthesis as assessed by a dentist (stability, retention, fit, border, wear, esthetics). • Gender, age and socio-economic status were included as confounding variables • Fifty patients have been included in the survey, they have undergone a clinical examination, and we have filled out the questionnaire anonymously. The Chi2 test, ANOVA test, and Pearson correlation test have been employed to relate clinical and anamnestic factors to the causes of removable denture renewal.
