The quality of rehabilitation of adult patients with dentition defects and complications of the temporomandibular joint depends not only on the doctor's qualifications, clinical and diagnostic capabilities, and material and technical equipment of the medical institution but also on an individual approach to each patient. The sociological method of research helped us assess the satisfaction level of the adult population of Zaporizhzhia with dental orthopedic care. During the sociological survey, we interviewed 177 residents of Zaporizhzhia, 100 (56.5%) women and 77 (43.5%) men. The questionnaire consisted of 15 questions, which we grouped into four functional blocks. Analysing the results of our study, we saw that 129 (72.9%) of the respondents needed oral health care: 91% of men and 67% of women. According to our survey, 137 people (77.4%) are completely satisfied with orthopedic treatment, 22.6% are partially satisfied. Respondents who did not discuss options for orthopedic structures accounted for 36.2% of cases. Methods of treatment of temporomandibular joint diseases and options for future denture designs were discussed in 88.1% of cases. According to almost 90.0% of women, an orthopedic surgeon should conduct a consultation in the format of a friendly conversation. Men, especially younger people, believe that only in a "business conversation" format. The number of respondents ready to choose complex rehabilitation measures with a long-term perspective was 84.2%. Thus, the results of our study showed that two-thirds of respondents have not had their oral cavity rehabilitated, and nine out of ten respondents need primary and additional prosthetics. A significant proportion of the adult population positively assessed the successful doctor-patient interaction, which helps eliminate complex rehabilitation problems.
