Abstract

PURPOSE
The aim of this study was to compare denture wearer's evaluation and clinician's technical rating for complete denture used on edentulous patients.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Total 43 edentulous patients who had complete denture fabricated more than one year ago were recalled. The questionnaire based on the various literatures was modified and applied to patients for subjective assessments. Functional aspects related to retention, stability, occlusion and denture condition were included in operator's evaluation. In addition, correlations were evaluated between patient's subjective and operator's objective assessments. Friedman test and Cohen's Kappa value were used for statistical analysis.
RESULTS
It was found that denture wearers' evaluations were slightly or fairly agree to clinician's rating for complete denture. More differences were found in maxillary denture than mandibular denture and moderate difference was found in esthetic, occlusion aspects.
CONCLUSION
There were slightly or fairly agreement between subjective and objective evaluations.
