Abstract
Recent years have witnessed a
consistent trend toward the introduction of patient assessment of different treatment outcomes in dental
practice. Patient satisfaction with
dental implants was considered
among these treatment modalities.
Few literature reviews have been
published on this topic. This article
critically analyzes the concerned
topics related to patient satisfaction
with dental implant. A MEDLINE
search was completed from 1983 to
2004, along with a manual search,
to locate related articles on the
topic. Dental implants provided
promising and predictable results
regarding patient satisfaction and
various aspects of life assessment.
