Self-perceived changes in oral health-related quality of life after receiving different types of conventional prosthetic treatments: A cohort follow-up study

Conclusions Patients perceived benefits in chewing ability, aesthetics and satisfaction with their mouth after receiving conventional dental prostheses. Clinical significance Conventional prosthetic therapy enhances patients’ overall well-being although it can cause discomfort and chewing dysfunction in more than 20% of subjects. Metal-based removable partial dentures are the most predictable in terms of patient satisfaction. The higher the clinical impairment felt by patients, the higher the increase in OHRQoL after rehabilitation. (Source: Journal of Dentistry)
