- Abstract
In completely edentulous patients, oral health status is generally poor due to several causatives and controversial risk factors and is usually characterized by increasing tooth loss, periodontal disease, and bad oral hygiene. Various factors such as emotional issues, weak financial conditions, lack of family cooperation, and awareness and multiple medications can worsen oral health. Thus, understanding the mental attitude of the patient is very helpful for the clinician to anticipate the patient's response during the clinical procedures.
