KNOWLEDGE, AWARENESS, AND ATTITUDE TOWARDS DENTURE USE AMONG PATIENTS WITH MISSING TEETH IN ENUGU STATE
Abstract
ABSTRACT
This study assessed the knowledge, awareness, and attitude towards denture use among
patients with missing teeth in Enugu State, Nigeria. Tooth loss remains a major oral health
problem that affects mastication, speech, aesthetics, and the overall quality of life of affected
individuals. Despite the availability of denture services, many patients with missing teeth do
not seek prosthetic rehabilitation due to inadequate knowledge, poor awareness, negative
attitudes, and financial constraints.
