Abstract in English
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.
