Sažetak
Aim: To evaluate the oral health related quality of life (OHRQoL) after the implant therapy and prosthodontic rehabilitation with fixed partial dentures (FPDs). Materials and methods: Fifty patients (mean age = 45.56) fulfilled OHIP49-CRO questionnaire before receiving implants (122 implants) and 1-year after FPDs. Another group of 47 healthy subjects (CHS) (age mean = 22.31) was randomly collected as a control group. Results: There were no significant differences for the OHIP scores between males and females and different age groups (<40, 40–59, >59). Furthermore, there was no significant difference of the scores dependent on the presence of the natural teeth or FPD in the antagonistic jaw (P > 0.05). After 5 years, FPD follow-up scores were significantly lower in comparison to baseline scores, but still remained significantly higher than the CHS scores (P < 0.05). Conclusion: The implant-supported FPD therapy significantly increased the OHRQoL, but didn’t reach the CHS group. Sex and age had no influence on the OHRQoL.
