Abstract: The loss of teeth can be caused by various diseases such as caries and periodontal diseases. This tooth loss can lead to disruption of the speech function, mastication, and aesthetics. Dentures for replacing the missing teeth are important to avoid such impacts. This study aimed to describe the determinants of people's behavior in the utilization of dental services in the manufacture of artisan removable denture in rural districts Kauditan Treman. This was a descriptive study. Taro Yamane formula was used to determine the number of samples. The method of sampling was purposive sampling by using questionnaires to 52 people. The results showed that the primary external factor determinant in the community toward dental service of false teeth makers was the economic factor (the cost of maintenance), meanwhile the internal factor determinant was perception. It is suggested that the government provides more affordable oral health care by adding health personnels, especially the dentists .
