Objective: To describe prosthesis type, duration of use, combined retention–stability rating, speech adaptation, satisfaction with aesthetics, and overall satisfaction among dental prosthesis wearers at surveyed sites in Ninh Binh Province in 2026. Subjects and methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted among 122 individuals wearing dental prostheses in Ninh Binh Province in 2026. Participants were directly interviewed to collect information on duration of use, speech adaptation, satisfaction with aesthetics, and overall satisfaction, and underwent clinical examinations to determine prosthesis type and assess the combined retention–stability rating. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 26.0. Results: Males accounted for 55.7% of participants, and the 45–60-year age group represented the highest proportion (43.4%). Fixed dental prostheses were the most frequently recorded type in the sample (72.1%), followed by combined prostheses (20.5%), implant-supported prostheses (4.9%), and removable prostheses (2.5%). A total of 73.8% of participants had used their prostheses for less than five years. For the combined retention–stability rating, 54.1% were classified as acceptable and 21.3% as good; 50.8% of participants had a short speech adaptation period, and 91.8% reported satisfaction with aesthetics. Conclusion: Fixed dental prostheses were the most frequently recorded type in this study sample. Most prostheses were rated acceptable or good on the combined retention–stability criterion, and most participants reported satisfaction with aesthetics. Regular follow-up and post-prosthetic care should be enhanced to improve treatment outcomes.
