Abstract

Background:  The purpose of this study was to compare patient’s satisfaction after receiving complete denture prostheses fabricated by under-graduate students and post-graduate students. Materials and Method: In this study 60 completely edentulous patients were randomly selected who received complete denture prostheses. Based on fabrication of complete denture prostheses by under-graduate students and post-graduate students, they were divided into two equal sub groups: Group A and Group B, each group having 30 participants. The participant’s perception regarding the newly constructed prostheses were recorded using a questionnaire through Visual Analogue Scale (VAS).  Result: In this study, the result showed that the participants with complete denture fabricated by post-graduate students, 50% of participants gave totally satisfied (9-10) score for chewing ability, stability and retention, speech and general satisfaction whereas none of the participants with complete denture fabricated by undergraduate students gave totally satisfied (9-10) score. Conclusion: The present study concluded that the participants with complete denture prostheses fabricated by post-graduate students were more satisfactory as compared to the participants with complete denture prosthesis fabricated by under-graduate students.
