Materials and Methods: A total of healthy 185 implants were selected according to the dental implant health scale accepted by International Congress of Oral Implantologists Consensus (ICOI) and 112 fixed implant- supported prosthesis evaluated for this study. The patient-reported effect was prospectively obtained by measuring oral health impact (OHIP-14) and VAS skale with a a follow-up period ranging from 5 to 8 years. Distribution of variables was checked using 0ne-Sample test. SPSS 22.0 programme was used for the analyses. Results: The patients were defined high satisfaction results after 5-8 years by implant placement. Mean VAS-score for the satisfaction percentage with implant-supported restorations was 87.80 % (SD ± 13.79). Mean OHIP score was 2.82 (SD ± 5.44). The results of OHIP 14 and VAS scores resulted that patient satisfaction with fixed implant supported prosthesis was high in all patients.
