Abstract

Stomatoprothetic dentures are one of the factors of oral health and life quality of people of all ages. The aim of the paper is to make a connection between the oral health quality and quality of life on one side and the type of denture on the other. This research study was conducted on the sample of 360 patients singled out in three numerically identical groups as follows: group I - patients treated with fixed dentures, group 11 - patients treated with mobile dentures, and group III -patients treated with both fixed and mobile dentures. The oral health quality was observed via five parameters: anamnestic data, symptoms of ill-functioning of basic functions instomatogenic system (chewing and speech), extra oral examination, intraoral examination, and dental abilities. For some oral health quality parameters, the index of quality was determined. Analyses of our three target groups of patients indicated that the patients from group I (treated with fixed dentures) suffered the least negative effects in line with the observed parameters; they are followed by patients from group III (combined dentures) and patients from group 11 (mobile dentures), respectively. Our research study showed that some oral health parameters have different impacts on health and life quality in patients treated with different stornatoprosthetic dentures.
