Resumo

O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o grau de satisfação de pacientes portadores de próteses parciais fixas (PPFs) e os fatores mais influentes nessa avaliação. Elaborou-se um questionário abrangendo desde o histórico das próteses até fatores relacionados com a adaptação do paciente, o qual foi aplicado a pacientes com próteses fixas atendidos na Faculdade de Odontologia de Araraquara - UNESP. As questões foram escoreadas, tabuladas em Excel 2000 e submetidas ao teste de Qui-quadrado. Foram entrevistados 69 pacientes, 51 do sexo feminino e 18 do masculino, totalizando 118 PPFs com média de 4 elementos. A maioria das próteses tinha até 5 anos de uso (74,58%), havendo predominância de metalocerâmicas (71,19%); 89 próteses (75,42%) nunca haviam sido substituídas, e 65,52% das substituições tiveram motivos funcionais como razão. Cinco pacientes (7,25%) foram classificados como insatisfeitos, 14 (20,29%) parcialmente satisfeitos e 50 (72,46%) satisfeitos com suas próteses. Dentre os fatores analisados, apenas o tipo de material da prótese influenciou a satisfação (p = 0,022602). Fatores estéticos (36,81%) e mecânicos (29,12%) foram os mais citados como insatisfatórios. Concluiu-se que os pacientes estavam satisfeitos com o tratamento, sendo as metalocerâmicas consideradas as mais satisfatórias e que fatores estéticos e mecânicos foram os principais fatores que contribuíram para a não satisfação plena.
