Abstract

Background: Patient satisfaction is a key indicator of success in complete denture treatment, reflecting both functional adaptation and psychosocial well-being. Objective: This study aimed to assess the association between demographic characteristics, denture use duration, and patient satisfaction among complete denture wearers. Method: An analytical cross-sectional study was conducted among 63 complete denture users selected through purposive sampling. Result: Significant positive correlations were found between satisfaction and age (r = 0.512; p = 0.003), education level, employment status, and denture use duration.
