The influence of clinical variables on patients' satisfaction with complete dentures.
The effect of the technical quality of complete dentures and the physical condition of the mouth on patients' satisfaction was investigated in 130 patients who received new complete dentures. A moderately positive correlation was found between satisfaction of the patient and quality of the dentures. However, no correlation was found between the satisfaction of the patient and the physical condition of the mouth.
