It has been suggested that the social conditions under which patients live may influence their acceptance of dentures. In this paper a sample of 74 complete-denture wearers has been interviewed with regard to several social variables. These variables include the patients' marital status, occupation, interests, social activities, economy, housing conditions, relationship to neighbors, and other people's opinion of their new dentures. The last factor appeared to influence denture acceptance strongly. The other social variables tested showed no significant or only minimal effects in this respect.

“…16 A structural equation model using data from the large study that this paper is also based on, demonstrated powerful relationships between denture quality, quality of residual alveolar ridge anatomy and patient wearing of dentures and use of dentures for eating. 17 Personality factors have been associated with reduced satisfaction in a number of studies [18][19][20][21][22] but not in others. 11,12,23 Personality has been analysed separately for the subjects in this study and neuroticism was found to be significantly associated with patient satisfaction with new dentures but not with usage of the dentures.…”

“…7 A method of evaluating or assessing the self image of a patient prior to treatment might provide greater insight into the patient's mental attitude, which is probably influenced by a series of social factors, and by the general state of his health. 8,9 In general, dental anxiety has been found to play a profound role on dental behavior, dental satisfaction and complaints in edentulous populations.…”

Objective The objectives of this study were to measure the level of dental anxiety and its correlation with dental history, denture satisfaction and other variables. Materials and methods A cross-sectional study was conducted on 150 completely edentulous patients reporting to the Department of Prosthodontics, KLES's Institute of Dental Sciences, Belgaum, over a period of 17 months (August 2005 to March 2007). The anxiety level of the patients was assessed with the help of a questionnaire, after obtaining an informed consent. Reliability of the dental anxiety scale was assessed by means of coefficient alpha. Results The results of this study concluded that dental anxiety scale for edentulous patients was a reliable scale for measuring dental anxiety. The anxiety score was higher for female than male patients. A significant correlation was found between denture satisfaction score and anxiety. Discussion Anxiety plays a major role in denture satisfaction. The variables included: Previous denture experience, occupation, medical history, age, gender, dental anxiety scale, period of edentulousness, age of previous dentures, number of complete dentures, denture satisfaction score, and the score on the Hamilton anxiety scale Conclusion The study indicated that gender correlates significantly with dental anxiety. Patients with medical history were found to be more anxious than normal patients. Patients with higher anxiety values were less satisfied with the treatment. Lastly, subjects with higher general anxiety showed greater values on the dental anxiety scale. Clinical significance The assessment of dental anxiety will help the prosthodontist in the management of anxious patients and secondly to provide evidence-based research into this psychological construct which has been shown to predict dental avoidance.
