This evaluation was based on replies from a random sample of general dental practitioners who were asked to complete questionnaires before and after being sent a video and accompanying booklet on partial denture design. Forty per cent (257) of the original sample (636) completed and returned both questionnaires. A total of 212 respondents (82%) felt the video had been of value and 175 (68%) said they would be more likely to provide metal partial dentures after having watched it. The positive effects of the video were greatest amongst the most recently qualified. Despite some improvement after watching the video, there remained 105 (40%) who indicated that they would leave all partial denture design decisions to the technician on at least some occasions. Comparison of data from first and second questionnaires showed little evidence of substantial shifts in choice of denture design for a series of specific situations. It was concluded that whilst the programme had been well received and had produced changes in intention, there was less objective evidence of change.
