Abstract
Background: The impact of edentulism on oral health status is an important public health issue. Conventional complete dentures, implant-supported removable dentures and implant-supported fixed dentures are evidence-based treatment IRPtions in the treatment of complete edentulism. Quality of life may be compromised due to various reasons such as functional problems, diseases, nutritional deficiency, physiological and psychosocial problems in individuals using prostheses.Objectives: Our aim in this study is to evaluate patient satisfaction of completely edentulous patients treated with conventional complete dentures, implant-supported removable dentures and implant-supported fixed dentures, oral health-related quality of life and to compare the effects on quality of life.Methods: In this study, total of 140 patients involved, 49 female and 91 males, aged between 40 and 90 who were completely edentulous and treated at least 6 months ago in the Prosthetic Dentistry Clinic.Patients were divided into 3 groups as conventional complete denture (CD), implant retained overdenture (IRP) and implant supported fixed prosthesis (ISFP). By Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14), Oral Health-Related Quality of Life-United Kingdom (OHQoL-UK) questionnaires oral health-related quality of life was measured analyzed and obtained parameters were compared.Results: When all findings were evaluated, the oral health-related quality of life of the group treated with implant-supported fixed prosthesis were found to be higher than the conventional complete denture and implant-supported fixed prosthesis group. In addition, it was determined that implant-supported fixed and removable treatments had positive effects on patient satisfaction, quality of life compared to conventional complete denture treatment.Conclusions: Support from dental implants while making a prosthetic treatment plan in edentulous patients will contribute positively to the stability and retention of the prosthesis. This will increase the quality of life of the person by supporting patient satisfaction, adaptation to the prosthesis and nutrition
Highlights
The impact of edentulism on oral health status is an important public health issue
Our study aims to evaluate the effect of prosthesis groups with extra stability, such as conventional complete dentures, implantsupported overdenture prosthesis, and implant-supported fixed prosthesis applied to edentulous patients, on the oral health-related quality of life of the patients
The results and recommendations obtained in our study, which evaluated the oral health-related quality of life, nutritional status, and the relationships between complete denture (CD), implant- supported locater-retained overdenture prostheses (IRP), and implant supported fixed prosthesis (ISFP) treatments in edentulous patients, are listed below
