Abstract

The patient satisfaction followed by receiving of complete dentures at the Penang International Dental College, Prosthetic Dentistry Department. A cross-sectional analysis was conducted using a 15-item questionnaire to assess the experiences of 100 patients. Data indicated high overall satisfaction, particularly with maxillary dentures, and no significant relationship was found between satisfaction and factors such as previous denture use or gender. Patients were generally content with the operator's professionalism and performance. Thus, we show that complete dentures at Penang International Dental College meet patients' expectations regarding satisfaction with their dentures.
