Removable partial denture(RPD) is a widely used prosthetic treatment. Compared with fixed and implant dentures, RPD has a low cost, causes minimal injury, and is widely adapted. Patients and doctors evaluate the success of RPD from different angles. Based on the current biology–psychology–social medical model, evaluation of patients with prosthesis should be given more attention. However, this aspect is often ignored by clinicians. Hence, research on patient satisfaction with RPD is very important in improving medical services, reducing medical disputes, strengthening doctor–patient communications, and reducing the waste of medical resources. This article reviews the relative factors influencing patient satisfaction with RPD from the patient, medical, and denture aspects. This study may aid clinicians in understanding patient needs and improving the early and late curative effects of RPD.
