“…The results related to increased OHRQoL by RPD therapy are in line with other studies . However, implant‐retained FPD patients (or implant‐retained RPD patients) reported better OHRQoL outcomes than both groups of RPD wearers examined in the present study . The impact of RPD therapy on patients' self‐reported outcomes considering only the chewing function has not been previously obtained.…”

“…11 In several cases, the final decision-making depends on financial status, level of education, awareness, and knowledge about various treatment modalities available to the patients. 12 Also, pain or dental phobia plays a significant role in the final decision-making. 5,13 Several studies have been done in different regions with regard to the knowledge and awareness of dental implant treatment modality.…”

Aim: The aim of this study was to assess the level, sources of information, awareness, and acceptance of dental implant therapy among dental patients in Aseer region, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Materials and methods: Information on demographic variables, level and sources of information, awareness, and acceptance of dental implant therapy as a treatment modality was obtained by self-explanatory survey containing 17 questions. The data were collected at five government dental health centers at Aseer region. The survey forms were distributed by in-charge dentist to the patients who were on routine visit. A total of 500 questionnaires were distributed out of which 479 were included in the survey. Results: The survey analysis demonstrated that 87% of participants were aware of dental implant therapy. Participants with high education level showed more awareness compared with lower education level (p < 0.05); 22.2% of participants were well informed about dental implants, 59.3% of them were moderately informed, 16.1% of them were poorly informed, and 2.4% were not informed about dental implants. The high cost (41.5%) was the major reason for people not choosing implant therapy followed by other reasons, such as fear of unknown side effects (33.0%), the need for surgery (13.5%), and long duration of treatment (12.0%). Conclusion: The surveyed participants in Aseer region were well aware about dental implants as a treatment option in replacing missing teeth. However, the dentists should provide accurate information to the patients regarding implant therapy irrespective of the patient's willingness to undergo therapy or not. High treatment cost for dental implant therapy was the main reason for patients refraining from implant therapy.

“…2,3 Many edentulous patients refuse implant placement due to their financial limitations, general health problems, insufficient bone support, fear, or attitude. [4][5][6][7] The impact of oral disorders and interventions on individually perceived oral health outcomes has been increasingly recognized as an important oral health component. The most popular instrument for oral health assessment has been the Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP) questionnaire (the long and the short form).…”

The aim was to assess treatment outcomes using the standardized questionnaires for assessment of self-perceived orofacial esthetics (OE), oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) and chewing function (CF) in patients treated either with new complete dentures (CD group) or with maxillary complete dentures and mandibular Kennedy Class I long saddle removable partial dentures (CD-RPD group). The aim was also to compare the two groups and to assess possible gender and age effects. Methodology: One hundred twenty-six patients (72 female and 54 male) participated (mean age 67.8±9). They were divided into two groups: the CD group (68 patients) and the CD-RPD group (58 patients). The patients filled in the three standardized questionnaires (Oral Health Impact Profile-OHIP14; Orofacial Esthetic Scale-OES and Chewing function questionnaire-CFQ), twice, first at the baseline, and the second time at least 2 months after they had received their new removable dentures and all adjustments had been finished. Results: All patients with new removable dentures (CD and CD-RPD group) reported improved aesthetics, chewing function and OHRQoL. Gender and age by itself yielded no significant effects. The type of RPD treatment (CD: CD-RPD) yielded statistically significant differences only with respect to orofacial aesthetics, while there was no significant differences with respect to CF and OHRQoL. Conclusion: Better aesthetic outcomes in the CD group than in the CD-RPD group could be attributed to clasp visibility in the mandible. Clasps in the CD-RPD group did not significantly improve CF when compared with the CD group.
