Evaluation of the Oral Health-Related Quality of Life in Edentulous Patients Treated with Implant-Supported Prostheses: A Cross-Sectional Study

Abstract

Objectives: Assessing the satisfaction of edentulous patients treated with implant-supported fixed or removable prosthetic dentures, as opposed to various other prosthetic designs, is crucial for comprehending their perceptions and attitudes towards the effectiveness of different implant treatment options.
Materials and methods: The study evaluated 38 participants over 5 years (± 0.5 years) using 226 implants supported by either removable or fixed prostheses between February 1, 2023, and May 25, 2023 face to face. Each participant had at least 5 years (± 0.5 years) of experience with their dentures. The participants were evenly divided into three groups based on the type of dental prosthetic design. Group 1 consisted of 13 participants with a mandibular two-implant retained overdenture opposing a maxillary complete denture. Group 2 included 13 participants with maxillary and mandibular four-implant-retained fixed full-arch dentures. Group 3 comprised 12 participants with a mandibular and maxillary four-implant-retained overdenture retained by a bar attachment system. All patients were recalled to the clinic and asked to complete the OHIP-14 questionnaire and the VAS scale. Assessments were conducted 5 years (± 0.5 years) post-implant loading. Data comparison between the groups was conducted using Kruskal-Wallis tests, with statistical significance set at p < 0.05.
Results: The study included 38 participants, with an average age of 62.11 ± 6.78 years. All patients showed high satisfaction with implant-supported prosthetic restorations five years (± 0.5 years) after implant loading. The average Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14) score was 8.79 (SD ± 11.26), and the mean Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) scores stood at 88.57% for the cohort. Ohıp-14 data comparison across the groups, conducted using Kruskal-Wallis tests, showed no significant statistical difference in the quality-of-life measures. The VAS analysis revealed no significant difference among the groups (p > 0.05) in all comparisons at the 5% significance level, except for the phonetics variable (p=0.034).
Conclusions: This clinical investigation demonstrates that edentulous patients, whether treated with removable or fixed implant-supported prostheses, show consistent satisfaction with their dentures as measured by OHIP-14 results.
