Background& Objective: Prosthodontists always do their best in order to make dentures that fulfill all the functional and esthetic requirements of the patients. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the relationship between patients’ satisfaction with traditional complete dentures and clinical measures of denture quality, which include clinical assessment of retention, stability, support, occlusion, esthetics and speech. Materials & Methods: 104 patients participated in our study (65 males, 39 females). The range of their ages was (40 – 78) years (median=60.9). Traditional complete dentures were made for all these patients, and then they were followed for 4-6 weeks. After that, a questionnaire was filled for each patient. This questionnaire includes questions about patient satisfaction and assessment of the new denture. The clinical measures of quality of the denture were also assessed by a prosthodontist. Results: The results of this study showed that there was a poor significant relationship between patients’ rating of the retention of their dentures and the clinical measures of retention, stabililty and support (r<0.04). At each of the surveyed situations, the patient considered their dentures better than the examiner did (P<0.05). There was also a poor, significant relationship between the accuracy of reproduction of centric relation and the patient ability to masticate with his denture(r=0.27). Conclusion: Within the limits of this study, it can be concluded that clinical measures of denture quality affect the retention of the denture as perceived by the patient. They also affect the comfort of the patient during mastication. For that, the dentist must always do his best to make dentures with enhanced quality. On the other hand, clinical measures of quality are not the only factor that affects the patient satisfaction with denture.

Research summary
تسعى هذه الدراسة إلى تقييم العلاقة بين تقبل المرضى للأجهزة الكاملة التقليدية وتقييمهم لها وبين المقاييس السريرية لجودة هذه الأجهزة. شملت الدراسة 104 مرضى (65 ذكورًا و39 إناثًا) تتراوح أعمارهم بين 40 و78 عامًا. تم تصنيع أجهزة كاملة علوية وسفلية تقليدية لكل مريض، وتمت متابعتهم لمدة 4-6 أسابيع. بعد ذلك، تم ملء استمارة لكل مريض لتقييم مدى تقبله للجهاز من جميع النواحي. كما قام اختصاصي في التعويضات المتحركة بتقييم المعايير السريرية لجودة الجهاز. أظهرت النتائج وجود علاقة طردية ضعيفة بين شعور المرضى بثبات أجهزتهم وتقييم الطبيب لثبات واستقرار ودعم هذه الأجهزة. كما كانت تقييمات المرضى للثبات واللفظ والنواحي التجميلية أفضل من تقييمات الطبيب. واستنتجت الدراسة أن المقاييس السريرية لجودة الجهاز تؤثر في شعور المريض بثبات الجهاز وراحته أثناء المضغ، لكنها ليست العامل الوحيد في تقبل المرضى لأجهزتهم.
Critical review
دراسة نقدية: تقدم هذه الدراسة نظرة شاملة على العلاقة بين تقبل المرضى للأجهزة الكاملة التقليدية وتقييمهم لها وبين المقاييس السريرية لجودة هذه الأجهزة. ومع ذلك، يمكن الإشارة إلى بعض النقاط التي قد تحتاج إلى تحسين. أولاً، قد تكون العينة المستخدمة غير كافية لتمثيل جميع الفئات العمرية والجنسية بشكل متوازن. ثانياً، قد يكون من المفيد تضمين عوامل نفسية واجتماعية أخرى قد تؤثر على تقبل المرضى للأجهزة. وأخيراً، يمكن أن تكون الدراسة أكثر شمولية إذا تم متابعة المرضى لفترة أطول من 4-6 أسابيع لتقييم تأثير الزمن على تقبل الجهاز.

Most of prosthodontists know that patient satisfaction is not based only on the technical quality of the dentures. For that, our study aimed to investigate the influence of some clinical factors on patients’ satisfaction with conventional complete dentures. These factors include: patients’ gender and age, smoking, musculature of jaws and cheeks, resorption of mandibular or maxillary residual ridge, the existence of hypermobile tissues, and previous denture wearing experience.
Adapting of the complete denture will ensure its retention. Poly(methyl methacrylate) is considered to be the best material to manufacture denture bases. However it incurs changes in dimension and volumetric contraction which affects the adaption o f dentures and therefore the retention. The purpose of this study was to compare two types of stone casts in their effect on accuracy of fit of complete denture base.
The purpose of the present study was to investigate whether a relationship exists between bilirubin, RDW, and prognostic factors for gastric cancer (tumor stage - tumor markers). Methods: The study included 112 individuals admitted to Tishreen Univer sity Hospital and the Oncology Center in Latakia during the period between July 2018 and December 2019. They were distributed into two groups as follow: the group of gastric cancer patients included 56 patients (33 males and 23 females) between the ages of 37 and 83 years, and the control group included 56 individuals (34 males and 22 females) between the ages of 37 and 80 years. The stage of gastric cancer was evaluated based on the AJCC (American Joint Committee on Cancer) cancer staging system. Patients were interrogated, and social and behavioral information were obtained, then venous blood samples were obtained for biomedical evaluation. Statistical analysis was done using SPSS version 25 software. Results: Bilirubin and RDW were significantly associated with the prognostic factors of gastric cancer. RDW was positively associated with the tumor stage and tumor markers (CEA and CA19-9). Total bilirubin (TBIL) and indirect bilirubin (IBIL) were negatively associated with these factors, while direct bilirubin (DBIL) showed no significant association. Patients with gastric cancer had higher RDW than healthy controls, while total bilirubin (TBIL) and indirect bilirubin (IBIL) were significantly decreased. The results of our study indicate that both RDW and bilirubin could be potential prognostic factor for gastric cancer.
The research aims to analyze the reality of the health service in the Syrian private hospitals in Lattakia City; by answering the following questions: * What is the level of the health service in hospitals in terms of the availability of the follo wing basic dimensions: Tangibility, empathy, responsiveness, assurance and security, reliability and credibility? * What is the impact of the dimensions of health service quality in customer satisfaction? The survey form was designed and distributed to (105) customer of the patients who checked in private hospitals in Lattakia City, where a convenience sample was chosen. The results of research indicated, that there is a good understanding of the following dimensions: Tangibility, empathy, responsiveness, and assurance and security between members of the research sample. The study results also indicated that there is a significant and positive effect of (empathy and emphasize security and reliability) dimensions on customer satisfaction as dependent variable, which the regression model explained (80%) of the differences in customer satisfaction, while Tangibility and speed of response did not affect customer satisfaction as a dependent variable.
Repair of denture fractures is still a common problem in prosthodontics. With denture fracture, patient may be affected esthetically, functionally, and psychologically. In addition, patient will carry additional costs. There is no information abou t the causes and patterns of fracture of acrylic dentures in Damascus. The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of type of denture repairs and the causes and patterns of denture fractures in Damascus. Thus, we can reach recommendations may limit relevant problems.
