Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the relative awareness and knowledge levels about RPD in studied patients. Materials & Methods: We analyzed 100 patients of both the genders. For estimating the awareness levels, we had used a pre-framed questionnaire containing 8 questions related to RPD knowledge and awareness. Responses were recorded in tables and data was processed statistically to estimate real awareness and satisfaction levels. Results: Statistical analysis was done using statistical software Statistical Package for the Social Sciences. The resultant data was employed to suitable statistical tests to obtain p values, mean, standard deviation, standard error an 95% CI. P ≤ 0.05 was considered as statistically significant. age groups 30-40 years had 23 males and 11 females (P< 0.05), 41-50 years had 18 males and 12 females, 51-60 years had 11 males and 13 females (P> 0.05) and >60 years had 8 males and 4 females (P>0.05).The overall measured significant level (p value) was 0.01. Conclusion: Within the limitation of study authors concluded that level of knowledge and awareness about RPD was moderate in the studied population. However it could differ in other population groups especially in urban setups.
