Sažetak
Aim: Oral health related quality of life (OHRQoL) is affected by oral status and degree of prosthodontic rehabilitation. The aim was to evaluate changes of the OHRQoL after different prosthodontic therapies. Materials and Methods: The OHIP49-CRO questionnaire was completed by 228 patients before prosthodontic treatment and one year after rehabilitation with either fixed partial dentures (FPD), or removable partial dentures (RPD), combination of removable partial and complete dentures (CRPCD), complete dentures (CD) and mandibular overdentures on implants (CDI). Another group of 130 healthy subjects from general population was randomly collected as a control group. Results: Patients who asked for prosthodontic treatment had significantly higher OHIP scores than the control group (p<0.01). There was no significant difference between gender in the control group (p>0.05), while in the group of patients asking prosthodontic treatment women had significantly higher OHIP scores than men (p<0.05). After treatment the level of satisfaction was equal between gender (p>0.05). Any type of prosthodontic rehabilitation significantly improved OHRQoL (p<0.01). The highest improvement of OHRQoL (the largest treatment effect) was registered in patients who replaced FPDs with CDs, followed by the patients who replaced CDs with CDIs. The lowest improvement of OHRQoL was observed in patients who substituted FDPs with RPDs. Yet, the lowest OHRQoL after the therapy remained in patients who replaced FDPs with CDs. Conclusion: In patients asking for prosthodontic therapy any type of rehabilitation significantly improved OHRQoL. Women had worse OHRQoL prior therapy than men, and after the therapy the OHRQoL was equal between gender. The treatment effect was dependent upon the type of rehabilitation.
