“…Data were collected from four studies that measured patient expectations before treatment and satisfaction after treatment using a visual analog scale (VAS) from 0 to 10, with 0 representing the worst possible outcome, and 10 representing the best possible outcome. All patients gave a pretreatment score, which measured their expectations for treatment before commencement, and a post‐treatment score, which measured their satisfaction and evaluation of the treatment upon completion.…”

“…Patients’ perceptions about the dentists’ conduct was assessed using a previously described questionnaire, using a Likert‐type scale. In these analyses, responses to questions 1 through 7 regarding patients’ perception of the dentists’ conduct (hereafter Q1‐Q7), and the average scores for these seven questions were used.…”

“…Many studies have investigated patients’ expectations and satisfaction with different prosthetic treatments, such as removable dentures and implant‐supported FDPs . However, the dental literature still lacks consensus about predictors of patient satisfaction for different types of prosthetic rehabilitations, as well as the influence of different types of prosthetic treatment on patients’ expectations and satisfaction.…”

“…In an attempt to investigate any significant relationships with patient satisfaction after different prosthodontic treatments, this study aimed to perform a secondary data analysis from four published studies . Specifically, the relationships of gender, age, patients’ perceptions about the dentists’ conduct, number of adjustments, treatment type, and expectation prior to prosthetic treatment were investigated for significant relationships with patients’ satisfaction following prosthodontic treatment.…”

Purpose To investigate the relationships between gender, age, patients’ perceptions about the dentists’ conduct, number of adjustments, treatment type, and expectation prior to prosthetic treatment and patient satisfaction with their treatments. Materials and Methods Data were integrated from four studies that measured patient expectations before treatment and satisfaction after treatment using a visual analog scale (VAS) from 0 to 10. These scores were given for each of four aspects of the therapeutic outcomes: chewing, esthetics, phonetics, and comfort. Patients’ perceptions about the dentists’ conduct was also assessed using a Likert‐scale questionnaire. The total sample size, after combining the data from all four studies, was 223 subjects. Bivariate and multivariable analyses were performed. The covariates entertained were gender, age, treatment type, patients’ perceptions about the dentists’ conduct, number of adjustments, and expectation prior to denture fabrication. Results In the entire sample, 115 (51.57%) patients were females and 108 (48.43%) were males. They ranged in age from 28 to 81 years old; the mean age was 53.2 years (SD = 11.5). Combining four treatments together, there was no significant difference between patients’ expectation and satisfaction scores for all four items. There were no significant differences between expectation and satisfaction for different genders. Multivariable analysis showed that patient expectation, satisfaction and the difference (satisfaction score–expectation score) scores for all four aspects were associated with treatment type (implant treatments were favored), and expectation prior to prosthetic treatment (the higher the expectation, the higher the satisfaction) was associated with satisfaction and difference scores. Satisfaction and difference scores for chewing were associated with number of adjustments and satisfaction, and satisfaction and difference scores for phonetics and comfort were associated with how well the dentist explained the intended treatment before performing it. Conclusions Patient satisfaction was associated with treatment type (implant treatments were favored), expectations prior to prosthetic treatment (the higher the expectation, the higher the satisfaction), and how well the dentist explained the intended treatment before performing it.

ResumoIntrodução: A qualidade das próteses totais pode ser influenciada pelo método de confecção. Objetivo: Avaliar a influência de diferentes métodos de confecção de próteses totais na adaptação e movimentação de dentes. Material e método: A confecção das próteses foi dividida em dois grupos (n=10) para arcadas superior e inferior de acordo com o método: 1) convencional de uma etapa -realizada uma base de prova em cera onde foram montados os dentes e levada para a termopolimerização; 2) Método de duas etapas -a base foi encerada e termopolimerizada. Com a base da prótese polimerizada, os dentes foram montados e em seguida realizou a polimerização da outra porção. Para movimentação de dentes foram avaliadas as distâncias entre incisivos (I-I), pré-molares (PM-PM), molares (M-M), incisivo esquerdo a molar esquerdo (IE-ME) e incisivo direito a molar direito (ID-MD) antes e após polimerização final. As próteses foram seccionadas em três posições para análise de adaptação: (A) face distal de caninos, (B) face mesial de primeiros molares, e (C) face distal de segundos molares. Resultado: As bases das próteses demonstraram melhor adaptação quando polimerizadas no processo de uma etapa, tanto superiores (p<0,05) quanto inferiores (p<0,05), com a região A apresentando melhor adaptação que a região C. Na arcada superior uma redução na distância entre I-I foi observada na técnica de uma etapa, enquanto que na técnica de duas etapas houve redução na distância ID-MD. Na arcada inferior, na técnica de uma etapa houve redução na distância ID-MD e houve redução significativa na distância IE-M pelo método de duas etapas. Conclusão: O método de uma etapa apresentou melhores resultados para a adaptação da prótese. Ambos os métodos de confecção apresentaram alteração na movimentação de dentes.Descritores: Prótese total; adaptação; polimerização. AbstractIntroduction: The quality of complete dentures might be influenced by the method of confection. Objective: To evaluate the influence of two different methods of processing muco-supported complete dentures on their adaptation and teeth movements. Material and method: Denture confection was assigned in two groups (n=10) for upper and lower arches according to polymerization method: 1) conventional one-stage -a wax trial base was made, teeth were arranged and polymerized; 2) two-stage method -the base was waxed and first polymerized. With the denture base polymerized, the teeth were arranged and then, performed the final polymerization. Teeth movements were evaluated in the distances between incisive (I-I), pre-molars (P-P), molars (M-M), left incisor to left molar (LI-LM) and right incisor to right molar (RI-RM). For the adaptation analysis, dentures were cut in three different positions: (A) distal face of canines, (B) mesial face of the first molars, and (C) distal face of second molars. Result: Denture bases have shown a significant better adaptation when polymerized in the one-stage procedure for both the upper (p=0.000) and the lower (p=0.000) arches, with region A presenting si...
