目的：探讨患者个性对全口义齿使用满意度的影响。方法：在牙科学校接受全口义齿置换的患者填写一份人格问卷，并对其全口义齿质量进行评估。术后第一次访视后对新义齿质量进行评价。患者对新义齿的满意度是通过结构化的访谈得出的。在植入新义齿后3个月和2年，将自填的义齿满意度问卷邮寄给所有参与者。结果：308名患者参与，217名患者完成了所有阶段的研究。假牙的使用与性格无关。在老年义齿患者中，下颌义齿外观满意度和总体满意度三个方面的评分与神经质有显著的相关性。在第一次检查新假牙的情况下，患者评价的满意度没有方面与人格显著相关。在3个月时发现神经质与新义齿满意度之间存在显著负相关。在放置义齿2年后，除了外观评分和上颌义齿咀嚼能力外，神经质与新义齿满意度之间存在显著负相关。结论：神经症患者对全口义齿的满意度较低。患者的人格特征不影响假牙的使用。(C) 2007 Elsevier Ltd.版权所有。
Objective: To investigate the influence of patient personality on satisfaction with and use of complete dentures. Methods: Patients attending a dental school for replacement of existing complete dentures completed a Personality Questionnaire and quality of existing complete dentures was assessed. After the first post-insertion visit quality of new dentures was assessed. Patients' satisfaction with the new dentures was elicited using a structured inter-view. Three months and 2 years after insertion of new dentures self completed denture satisfaction questionnaires were mailed to all participants. Results: Three hundred and eight patients participated and 217 completed all stages of the study. Use of dentures was not associated with personality. in the old dentures patient rating of the three aspects of satisfaction with the mandibular denture, of appearance and general satisfaction were significantly associated with neuroticism. in the case of the new dentures at first review, no aspects of satisfaction rated by patients were significantly associated with personality. Significant negative associations between Neuroticism and all aspects of satisfaction with new dentures were found at 3 months. At 2 years after the dentures were placed significant negative associations between Neuroticism and all aspects of satisfaction with new dentures except rating of appearance and maxillary denture chewing ability were found. Conclusions: Neurotic patients were significantly less satisfied with complete dentures. Personality traits did not influence patients' use of dentures. (C) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
