About this trial
This quasi-experimental study compares dental anxiety levels in edentulous patients at two specific clinical points: the primary impression appointment and the denture insertion appointment. The study aims to determine if the process of receiving first-time complete dentures significantly impacts patient anxiety levels. Data will be collected from 70 participants at the Khyber College of Dentistry over a five-week interval between the two appointments
