    This cross sectional study was conducted in Altamash Institute of Dental Medicine, a total of 200 partially edentulous patients already restored with removable or fixed prosthesis participated in this study. Patient satisfaction was evaluated by Likert's scale. The Patients were given options of unsatisfied, not very satisfied, neutral, somewhat satisfied and satisfied to evaluate patients level of satisfaction for factors such as phonetics, pain, mastication, taste and esthetics.
