Abstract

Introduction: Preserving the natural tooth by endodontic treatment or tooth extraction and implantation is an important dilemma that requires careful evaluation of the factors that affect the final treatment and patients' quality of life. The aim of this study was to evaluate the quality of life related to oral health after single tooth implant treatment in comparison with endodontic treatment.
Materials and Methods: This study is a cross-sectional analytical study to evaluate the quality of life of 80 patients referred to Isfahan Azad Dental School in 1399-1400 in two groups (endo and implant) whose anterior teeth have been endodontically treated and had also a history of anterior single tooth implant with functional crown in a recent year, with using Oral health-related quality of life questionnaire (OHIP-12). The collected data were analyzed using Shapiro-Wilk test and independent T-test with an error level of 0.05% (p value < 0.05).
Results: Mean patient's oral health-related quality of life after single tooth implant and after endodontic treatment was respectively 16.95 and 16.83 and all the studied parameters were shown to be above average. There was no significant difference between the type of treatment and patient's oral health-related quality of life (p value = 0.885). There was a significant difference between patient's gender and oral health-related quality of life in implant treatment (p value = 0.036).
Conclusion: The oral health-related quality of life after single tooth implant treatment was comparable to endodontic treatment in patients and it was higher than average in both treatments.
Keywords: Quality of life; Dental implant; Root canal therapy.
