Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Assessment of Patient Satisfaction Before and After Fixed Prosthodontic Treatment

  Patient satisfaction will be assessed in four domains-esthetics, comfort, chewing ability, and phonetics using a 10-point Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). Scores before treatment (expectation) and after treatment (satisfaction) will be compared to determine the change. . Each domain will be scored on a scale from 1 to 10, where 1 represents the lowest level of outcome and 10 represents the highest. The investigator will assess the results by adding all the marked values by the participant on VAS. Minimum and maximum values will be calculated from mean of scores on the basis of data collection results.

  Baseline (before prosthesis placement) and one week after prosthesis delivery.
