Results: Results showed that 84% of the patients were satisfied with their fixed prosthesis, while only 46.4% of patients were satisfied with the chewing ability. In concern, with esthetic outcome, 80% of patients showed that they were satisfied with the esthetic. The results showed that a high significantly number of patients did not use any form of interdental aids’ to clean their fixed prosthesis (94%). The main reason for not using any dental aids’ (91.1%) was a lack of post fixed prosthodontics instructions and not been informed by the dentist.
