Abstract
ABSTRACTObjective: This study aimed to evaluate the satisfaction levels of different materials used for the fabrication of dental veneers. Furthermore, it intended to fill a gap in the current literature by helping both participants and dentists to make a more informed decision when it comes to veneers selection.
Methods: The study recruited participants from Temple University School of Dentistry. Participants received information about the study's purpose, risks, and benefits and provided verbal consent before completing a phone evaluation. A brief questionnaire composed of 20 questions assessed satisfaction with dental veneers in areas such as aesthetics, functionality, longevity, and overall satisfaction. The survey applied descriptive statistics, such as mean, standard deviation, and frequencies, to evaluate the characteristics of the sample.
Results: A total of 288 patients were screened for the study and 61 participants agreed to participate. Participants were primarily female (68%). When asked to evaluate their satisfaction, participants reported high levels of satisfaction, with an average score of 4.51 out of 5, denoting a positive experience. Those with porcelain veneers reported slightly higher satisfaction levels (M=4.63). However, there were non-significant differences in satisfaction with aesthetics, functionality, longevity, and overall satisfaction between the two types of veneers.
Conclusions: The study mainly aimed to compare participants’ satisfaction levels with porcelain and composite dental veneers and revealed high overall satisfaction levels with both materials. Demographic factors like age and gender did not predict satisfaction levels. These outcomes may have been restricted by multiple factors, such as the small sample size and limited range of satisfaction scores.
