title: [General problem of the satisfaction of complete prosthesis wearers].
abstract: The concept of satisfaction is discussed from a psychopathological viewpoint with reference to complete edentulousness or complete dentures. The authors are of the opinion that the evaluation of the results from treatment with complete dentures should allow for subjective and objective appreciations. It is suggested to classify the patients in foundedly satisfied, unfoundedly satisfied, foundedly dissatisfied, and unfoundedly dissatisfied. Suggestions for the treatment of the respective groups are deduced.
