Sažetak
Purpose: Oral health related quality of life (OHRQoL) is affected by many factors. The purpose of this research was to examine if length of complete removable dental prosthesis (CRDP) wearing period as well as “day–night” or just “daily” wearing of CRDP affect patient's OHRQoL. Materials and Methods: The study included 301 participants who wore mandibular and/or maxillary CRDP. The questionnaire used in this study consisted of the Croatian version of OHIP-49 questionnaire and data about age and gender of paticipants. Also, each participant was asked about the CRDP wearing habit (“day–night” or just “daily”), and about the total time of CRDP wearing period (period of edentulism). The results obtained were statistically analyzed with a significance level of 0.05. Results: The participants were of an average age of 74 ± 12.1 years. The study group consisted of 202 female (67%) and 99 male (33%) participants. According to the denture wearing habit (“day–night” or just “daily” CRDP wearing), no statistically significant differences were revealed (p>0.05). With regard to the length of denture wearing period (previous and current CRDP), statistically significant differences were revealed in each OHIP domain (p<0.05) with higher mean OHIP values among participants wearing CRDP for 5 or 10 years (shorter period). Conclusion: According to the obtained results it could be concluded that the length of denture wearing period significantly correlates with OHRQoL with higher OHIP values among participants with shorter period of CRDP wearing. During a longer denture wearing period (10 years and more), most participants learn to accept functional limitations of CRDP and establish a certain satisfaction level.
