Effect size of different types of prosthodontic treatment options

Objective: To determine the effect of different prosthodontic treatment options on patient's chewing function (CF) and oral health related quality of life (OHRQoL). Method: Patients treated with 138 complete dentures (CD), 114 removable partial dentures (RPD), 52 fixed partial dentures (FPD), 34 implant-supported complete dentures (CDi), 8 removable partial implant-supported dentures (RPDi) and 58 implant-supported fixed partial dentures (FPDi) took a part in this study (a total of 404 patients). The survey was conducted using two questionnaires: the OHIP-CRO14 for the assessment of OHRQoL and the Chewing function questionnaire (CFQ) for the assessment of a chewing function. The questionnaires have been administrated twice: the first time prior the therapy had begun and the second time three months after the prosthodontic treatment had been finished. Statistical analysis included descriptive statistics, paired t test and effect size calculation. Result: The CFQ and the OHIP summary scores significantly decreased after all types of prosthodontic treatment, revealing significantly better OHRQoL and better CF after treatment (p<0.01). The RPDi, CDi and FPDi groups showed greater effect size on the OHRQoL compared to the CD, RPD and FPD groups. The greatest improvement of chewing function was registered in the CDi group, then in the RPDi and the FPDi groups, while the FPD gruop showed the lowest effect size. Conclusion: The results suggest that all modalities of prosthodontic treatment increase OHRQoL and chewing abilities compared to the baseline results (before treatment). Moreover, implant-supported prosthodontic treatment modalities are more effective, with higher effect size considering OHRQoL and CF in comparison to the conventional prosthodontic therapy.
