SERVIN-BARRIOS, Gloria Licia  and  JACQUETT-TOLEDO, Ninfa Lucia. Correlational study of technical, biological and esthetic complications and level of satisfaction in treatments performed in the Department of Prosthesis of Crowns and Bridges II of the Faculty of Dentistry of the National University of Asuncion. Mem. Inst. Investig. Cienc. Salud [online]. 2022, vol.20, n.3, pp.117-133. ISSN 1812-9528.  https://doi.org/10.18004/mem.iics/1812-9528/2022.020.03.117.

The objective was to determine the correlational association that could occur between technical, biological and esthetic complications and level of satisfaction in the treatments performed in the Department of Crown and Bridge Prosthodontics II of the Faculty of Dentistry of the National University of Asuncion in 2019. This was a descriptive, analytical, cross-sectional, observational study. Patients who received treatments from 2016 to 2018 were included. Fifty-nine patients attended for clinical evaluation and application of the questionnaire. The data were analyzed according to the number of treatments found in each subject, by which the results were calculated according to 119 treatments. Pulpal biological complications were sensitivity or discomfort to cold or heat in 20.1% of the abutments. A highly significant association was found between pulpal biological complications (p>001) and marital status, periodontal biological complications and cervical esthetic complications. The most frequent periodontal biological complications were gingivitis around the restoration (40.4%). The level of satisfaction with the treatment received was favorable in 89.1% and there was a very significant association (p>001) with educational level and significant (p>005) with marital status. A highly significant association was found between cervical esthetic complications, esthetic complications of shape and periodontal biological complications and the level of satisfaction.
