Impact of patient characteristics on edentulous subjects' preferences for prosthodontic rehabilitation with implants
Clinical Oral Implants Research Feb 14, 2019
Leles CR, et al. - In this cross-sectional study, 131 edentulous subjects were examined to analyze the impact of case characteristics on edentulous subjects' preferences for different prosthodontic treatments with implants. About 45.8% of total candidates preferred conventional dentures (CD) as their most liked treatment for the maxilla whereas implant fixed dentures (IFD) was the most accepted choice for the mandible (38.9%). They found a positive relation of Oral Health Impact Profile for edentulous subjects (OHIP-Edent) "oral pain and dysfunction" (OPD) domain scores with 2-implant retained overdentures (IOD) preference for the maxilla and mandible, and with IFD preference for the mandible. They concluded that the impacts of the level of education, income and discreet quality of life were probably the predictive variables of edentulous cases’ preference for rehabilitation with implants.
