Abstract

Introduction: Some studies have shown that loss of teeth and conventional complete dentures have a negative effect on oral health-related quality of life of patients; some other studies have reported high satisfaction with daily life in these patients. Since the results of studies in this regard are contradictory and on the other hand, in Iran only few studies have evaluated this issue, in this study, the quality of life of denture-treated patients was studied in Hamadan Dental School in 2016-2018.
Materials & Methods: The participants of this study were selected from patients referring to Hamadan Dental School in 2016-2018. Demographic and clinical data were recorded, and oral health-related quality of life was evaluated by the OHIP-14 standard questionnaire before denture delivery and one month after denture delivery and compared. Data were analyzed with SPSS 21, using descriptive statistics and statistical tests such as t-test, paired t-test, one-way ANOVA and Wilcoxon sign-test (α = 0.05).
Results: The OHIP scores decreased significantly after the delivery of dentures in the all participants (p value = 0.008). This decrease was significant in women, but not significant in men.
Conclusion: In general, the use of complete dentures improved the oral health-related quality of life in the subjects. This improvement is related to aspects such as pronunciation, diet and embarrassment due to the general appearance.
Key words: OHIP-14, OHRQoL, Complete dentures.
