Abstract

Abstract - Many current studies of prosthodontic treatment use patient-based outcomes. Traditionally, these outcomes are measured using quantitative methods. However, qualitative research methods can provide important information that cannot be found using quantitative techniques. In this article, the authors review quantitative and qualitative research studies. Differences, advantages and disadvantages of each method are highlighted. Prosthodontic researchers are encouraged to combine these methods to benefit from the potential of each of these approaches.
