Objective of this study was to evaluate the association of patient related factors with complete denture satisfaction. Present study was carried out in the Prosthodontics department of Dental College during the period 2011-13. After preliminary examination new complete dentures (CD) were provided to 57 patients. To evaluate patient satisfaction with their CDs, a self-completed patient denture rating questionnaire, covering six items relating to denture esthetics, speech, mastication, retention, comfort and overall satisfaction was used. Associations between the clinical characteristics and patient satisfaction with CDs were analyzed using SPSS. Younger women and patients with low socioeconomic were less satisfied as compared to older males and patients having high socioeconomic status. Moreover patients with favorable anatomical structures were more satisfied with their dentures. Suitable denture fabrication, and proper instructions to the patients lead to better satisfaction by the patients.
