This quasi-experimental study compares dental anxiety levels in edentulous patients at two specific clinical points: the primary impression appointment and the denture insertion appointment. The study aims to determine if the process of receiving first-time complete dentures significantly impacts patient anxiety levels. Data will be collected from 70 participants at the Khyber College of Dentistry over a five-week interval between the two appointments
Participants aged 40-70 requiring first-time complete dentures will be enrolled via non-probability consecutive sampling at the Prosthodontic Department of Khyber College of Dentistry. Dental anxiety will be measured using a specific 5-item Dental Anxiety Scale for edentulous subjects at the first visit (primary impression) and again at the insertion appointment, approximately five weeks later. A cut-off score of 19 on the scale will distinguish high-level from low-level anxiousness. Statistical analysis, including paired t-tests (for normally distributed data) or Wilcoxon signed-rank tests, will be used to compare the mean difference in dental anxiety levels at the two time points.

Inclusion Criteria: Edentulous patients (missing all teeth) requiring first-time complete dentures.
Exclusion Criteria: History of previous denture use, severe cognitive impairment, or systemic diseases contraindicating dental procedures.
Edentulous patients (aged 40-70) receiving their first-time conventional complete dentures.
Procedure: conventional complete denture fabrication
A standard 5-step clinical process: primary impression, secondary impression, jaw relation, trial, and insertion. Dental anxiety is assessed using the Dental Anxiety Scale at the baseline (primary impression) and final follow-up (insertion).
Change in Dental Anxiety Scale (DAS) Score
The Dental Anxiety Scale will be used to measure the level of anxiety in edentulous patients. It consists of items scored on a 5-point scale. Total scores range from a minimum of 4 (no anxiety) to a maximum of 20 (extreme anxiety). A higher score indicates a higher level of dental anxiety."
Time frame: Baseline (primary impression appointment) and 5 weeks (denture insertion appointment)

Start is estimated for May 2026; primary completion for Nov 2026, 6 months later.
Of 46 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Mouth, Edentulous, half reached primary completion within 23 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 11 and three quarters within 30. This study's planned 6 months is below that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 54 studies reached it within 24 months; a quarter within 12 and three quarters within 51.
