Sažetak
The aim of this study was to determine patients' satisfaction with their bridges made of different materials after a three year period, as well as the influence of different factors, such as age, gender and educational on their satisfaction. One hundred and twenty patients, examined at the School of Dental Medicine, University of Zagreb, answered the following questions: gender, age, level of education and in the second part of the questionnaire patients assessed their satisfaction with the overall quality of bridges, aesthetic appearance, fonation, quality of chewing and health of the surrounding gingiva, on the basis of an analogue-visual scale from 1-10. Most patients were very satisfied and evaluated crowns and bridges to be in the highest category (quality, aesthetics, fonation, etc.) and therefore the results were not distributed normally, but were asymmetrical towards the highest categories (highest grades). The best gingival health was evaluated in a group of patients with metal-ceramic bridges (p<0.05). The higher the level of education, the lower the assessment of aesthetic appearance for resin veneer bridges. There was no significant difference between males and females and between different age groups.
