Abstract
Fifty-one digital prostheses were made for 33 patients between 1986 and 1988. A questionnaire was developd to assess the patients' satisfaction with these prostheses and was administered 6 months and 3 years after the prostheses were made. The majority of patients requested prostheses for esthetic reasons. While they reported satisfaction with the appearance of the prostheses, at 3 years 36% of the patients no longer continue to use the prostheses.
