Abstract: The present study has been carried out to assess the prosthetic status and needs among the Greek population in Thessaloniki. Interviews and clinical exams were performed in a sample of 270 patients aged from 23 to 85 years. Females 169 [62, 5 %] and males 101 [37, 4 %]. Edentulous patients were 15. Four [26, 6] of them wore complete dentures in good condition. Five [33, 3 %] complete dentures must be repaired and six patients [40] wanted new complete dentures. Sixteen patients were partially edentulous. Six of them [34, 5 %] wore removable partial denture in good condition. Two [12, 5 %] patients needed a new appliance.
