Sažetak
Aim: One of the main intention of complete denture therapy is restoring occlusion. There is no agreement regarding occlusal scheme for complete denture treatment. The occlusal scheme used in complete dentures therapy can effect on general patient satisfaction with complete dentures. Aim of this study was to compare the impact of two occlusal concepts of complete dentures, lingualized occlusion and bilateral balanced occlusion, on quality of life in edentulous patients. Materials and methods: In this randomized clinical trial, 16 patients have been provided with new complete dentures. All patients received new complete dentures with two different occlusal concepts (9 patients received complete dentures with lingualized occlusion and 7 patients received new complete dentures with bilateral balanced occlusion). One month after insertion all patients completed shortened version of oral health impact profile (OHIP-14) questionnaire. Responses of each item are made on a Likert-type scale and coded as: 0 - never, 1 - hardly ever, 2 - occasionally, 3 - fairly often, and 4 - very often. Data were analysed using the Independent samples t test via SPSS version 18.0. Results: Patients wearing dentures with bilateral balanced occlusion showed on average 0.25 points higher OHIP-14 scores compared to patients wearing dentures with lingualized occlusion. This effect of the occlusal concept on patient’s satisfaction was neither statistically nor clinically significant. Conclusion: The results of this randomised clinical trial provided evidence that the occlusal scheme did not influence on patient satisfaction with complete dentures. Key words: occlusal scheme ; complete dentures ; oral health related quality of life
