The influences of fear, anxiety, and depression on the patient's adaptive responses to complete dentures. Part II.
The classification system of maladaptability presented in a previous paper was reviewed in the present one. Three major sources that significantly influence patient responses to tooth loss and subsequent dentures were discussed. They are parental influences, the symbolic significances of teeth, and current life circumstances. Each of the maladaptive categories is represented by these histories.
