This study aims to assess patient satisfaction after receiving porcelain-fused-to-metal fixed dental prostheses. Patients will be asked about their expectations before treatment and their satisfaction afterward. The findings will help evaluate whether the treatment meets patient needs and guide improvements in dental care.
This quasi-experimental study is designed to compare pretreatment expectations and posttreatment satisfaction in patients receiving porcelain-fused-to-metal fixed dental prostheses. The study will be conducted at the Prosthodontic Department of Khyber College of Dentistry, Peshawar, over a duration of six months.
A total of 120 partially edentulous patients aged 18 to 60 years, with no prior experience of fixed dental prostheses, will be included using a consecutive non-probability sampling technique. Prior to treatment, participants will be evaluated for their expectations regarding aesthetics, chewing ability, comfort, and phonetics using a validated questionnaire and a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). Posttreatment satisfaction will be assessed using the same scale-on the day of prosthesis placement for aesthetics and phonetics, and after one week for chewing ability and comfort.
The aim is to evaluate whether there is a significant difference between what patients expect before treatment and how satisfied they are after receiving the prosthesis. The results will also help determine whether factors such as gender or age group influence satisfaction levels. This study seeks to contribute to more patient-centered treatment planning and improved outcomes in prosthodontic care.

Exclusion Criteria:
Procedure: Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal Fixed Dental Prosthesis
This prosthesis consists of a metal substructure for strength and a porcelain coating for improved aesthetics. The treatment will be planned and delivered by prosthodontic specialist. The intervention is non-surgical
Assessment of Patient Satisfaction Before and After Fixed Prosthodontic Treatment
Patient satisfaction will be assessed in four domains-esthetics, comfort, chewing ability, and phonetics using a 10-point Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). Scores before treatment (expectation) and after treatment (satisfaction) will be compared to determine the change. . Each domain will be scored on a scale from 1 to 10, where 1 represents the lowest level of outcome and 10 represents the highest. The investigator will assess the results by adding all the marked values by the participant on VAS. Minimum and maximum values will be calculated from mean of scores on the basis of data collection results.
Time frame: Baseline (before prosthesis placement) and one week after prosthesis delivery.
Plan to share: No — IPD will not be shared due to privacy and confidentiality concerns, as well as institutional policies that restrict the dissemination of identifiable health information of study participants.
