Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study aims to assess patient satisfaction after receiving porcelain-fused-to-metal fixed dental prostheses. Patients will be asked about their expectations before treatment and their satisfaction afterward. The findings will help evaluate whether the treatment meets patient needs and guide improvements in dental care.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This quasi-experimental study is designed to compare pretreatment expectations and posttreatment satisfaction in patients receiving porcelain-fused-to-metal fixed dental prostheses. The study will be conducted at the Prosthodontic Department of Khyber College of Dentistry, Peshawar, over a duration of six months.

A total of 120 partially edentulous patients aged 18 to 60 years, with no prior experience of fixed dental prostheses, will be included using a consecutive non-probability sampling technique. Prior to treatment, participants will be evaluated for their expectations regarding aesthetics, chewing ability, comfort, and phonetics using a validated questionnaire and a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). Posttreatment satisfaction will be assessed using the same scale-on the day of prosthesis placement for aesthetics and phonetics, and after one week for chewing ability and comfort.

The aim is to evaluate whether there is a significant difference between what patients expect before treatment and how satisfied they are after receiving the prosthesis. The results will also help determine whether factors such as gender or age group influence satisfaction levels. This study seeks to contribute to more patient-centered treatment planning and improved outcomes in prosthodontic care.
