The aim of this study was to evaluate the satisfaction rate of total edentolous patients treated in our service with dental implants and the placement of a posterior implant-supported prothesis (overdenture or fixed). To evaluate the satisfaction we realize a telephonic inquest with six questions: 1) Do you feel any type of pain in your implants? 2) Do you have any trouble speaking? 3) Can you laugh with your prothesis? 4) Can you eat comfortably? 5) Are you satisfied in general with the treatment recieved and with its result? 6) Could you repeat the treatment? Toquantifie the satisfaction of the patients we value each answer individually and also all conjunctly. As a results, we obteined that 65% of patients were satisfied with the treatment and with its result, independently of the prothesis type they wear. Also a 65% of patients would repeat the treatment. With the c2 (degree of signification p<0.05) we relate the different variables (type of implantosupported prothesis and type of dentition in the antagonist dental arch) with the the degree of patients' satisfaction.
