Comparison of chewing performance and oral health related quality of life between patients with implant overdenture and conventional complete denture

 

ABSTRACT

 

Aim: The aim of this study was to compare chewing performance, patient satisfaction and oral health related quality of life (OHRQoL) among edentulous patients treated with two implant supported overdenture (IOD) and conventional complete denture (CCD).

Materials and Method: Forty-four patients, 22 IOD and 22 CCD wearers were included in this study. Chewing performance was evaluated with a color mixing ability test by analyzing the standard deviation of hue (VOH, ViewGum). Two different types of two colored gum; Vivident FruitSwing® “Watermelon and Asai Grape” (gum1) and Hue-Check Gum® (gum2) were used.  Participants were asked to chew the specimens for 20 chewing cycles.  OHRQoL was determined with the Oral Health Impact Profile-14 (OHIP-14), Oral Health Impact Profile-Edentulous (OHIP-EDENT) and Geriatric Oral Health Assessment Index (GOHAI) questionnaires. A visual analog scale (VAS) was applied to evaluate patient satisfaction. SPSS IBM 25.0 was used for statistical testing.

Results: The IOD group  comprised (65±5 years) 11 males and 11 females            , CCD group (67±6 years) 16 males and 6 females.  There was a statistically difference between IOD and CCD groups in chewing test with gum2 (p<0.05).  Although the difference is not significant (p>0.05), chewing performance with  gum1 was also higher in IOD group than CCD group. The scores from all OHRQoL measurements were statistically significantly different between IOD and CCD groups.  VAS scores (except pain) were statistically different between IOD and CCD groups (p<0.05).

Conclusions: IOD treatment provide better chewing performance and significant improvement in OHRQoL and patient satisfaction than the CCD treatment.
