Materials and Methods: Forty two patients, 27 female and 15 male, used implant-retained overdentures and conventional complete dentures were included in this study, who attended to University of Yeditepe, Faculty of Dentistry in 2011. A questionnaire was prepared and distrubuted to evaluate the patient satisfaction levels about their dentures and sociodemographic properties such as age, gender, education, marital and income status. The answers were asked to give as not satisfied, satisfied, very satisfied. Chi-square test and Fisher s Exact Chi-square test were used to analyze the quantitative data. An alpha level of 0.05 was used for all statistical analyses. Results: The mean age of the 42 patients (64.3% female, 35.7% male) was 62.26. It was observed that patients with higher educational level prefered implant-retained overdentures, compared to conventional complete dentures. In the conventional complete denture group, higher numbers of patients were very satisfied with the cleanability compared to implant-retained overdenture group. (p=0.039). There was no statistically significant differences between implant-retained overdentures and conventional complete denture groups with regard to satisfaction level of esthetic, chewing, speech, retention and comfort. Conclusions: It can be concluded that sociodemographic factors did not affect the satisfaction of different denture types. The patients with conventional complete dentures were more satisfied with the cleanability, compared to implant- retained overdentures.
