SHEFFIELD, UK: In a first-of-its-kind study, researchers from the University of Sheffield have investigated patients’ emotional challenges in being treated with and living with removable dentures. They found that careful management of patients’ experiences and empathy by the dental team can have a positive effect on the clinical results. It is hoped that these new insights can help dental professionals develop improved treatment plans and aftercare for the growing number of patients who are in need of dentures.
