Sarah Christina Rodrigues Meira Reis et al. Int J Prosthodont. 2019 May/Jun.

Abstract

Purpose: To synthesize the evidence on the impact of treatment with conventional complete dentures (CDs) on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL).

Materials and methods: Interventional studies were included if they evaluated the impact of CD treatment on HRQoL or OHRQoL with or without a control group.

Results: A total of 22 studies were included, 10 of which had comparison groups. The results suggest that CD treatment improves OHRQoL.

Conclusion: CD treatment impacts HRQoL and OHRQoL, and the Oral Health Impact Profile-EDENT is the most used instrument to measure this impact.
