“…Quality of life impacts are not systematically assessed. A more recent review 2 indicates that the literature on patient satisfaction with dental implants is expanding, but the quality of the studies remains generally poor. Some studies use their own questions that assess chewing ability, self-image and esthetics 345 or use adaptations of generic measures of health related quality of life 6 .…”

Quality of life outcomes among patients receiving implants have been well studied, but little is known about the effects of bone augmentation in this therapy. The purpose of the paper was to assess quality of life changes among postmenopausal women receiving dental implants with bone augmentation during implant therapy. This was a prospective cohort study. Forty-eight patients were recruited at the University of Connecticut Health Center and received one of three surgical augmentation methods: dehiscence repair, expansion alone or expansion with dehiscence repair. The predictor variable was type of augmentation procedure. Quality of life measured by the Oral Health Impact Profile-14 (OHIP-14) was the outcome measure and was assessed prior to treatment, one week, eight weeks and nine months post surgery. Changes in OHIP-14 were evaluated by repeated measures analysis of variance. The mean initial OHIP-14 scores on total items checked was 4.6 (SD=3.0) and declined significantly to 2.0 (SD=2.0) at nine months. The mean baseline severity score was 15.4 (SD=8.9) improving significantly to 7.5 (SD=7.6) at nine months. Type of augmentation procedure did not affect quality of life. The participants’ quality of life improved continuously from the pretreatment to the nine-month assessment, including improvements one week after implant placement.

“…3 Quality of life, specifically self-image and esthetics domains, improves significantly with dental implant therapy. 4,5 This is true in postmenopausal women even when the placement involves additional bone augmentation procedures. 6 It may be inferred that due to the demand among this cohort for dental implant therapy that the steps needed in achieving the outcomes of improved esthetics and self-image are worthwhile.…”

“…In addition, a recent Cochrane Systematic review including 18 randomized controlled trials (RCT) confirmed these high survival results [7]. However, the patients’ perspective was mostly not appropriately taken into account in these analyses, although patient satisfaction presents one of the most essential objectives to obtain in oral rehabilitation [8, 9]. Hence, the question remains if the patients benefit from the sinus elevation procedures regarding their oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL).…”

BackgroundThe aim of this study was to measure the oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) after maxillary sinus augmentation to determine the physical and psychological impact of this procedure for the patient.MethodsThree hundred sixteen patients treated with an external or internal maxillary sinus augmentation and a total of 863 implants in the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Johannes Gutenberg University, Mainz, Germany, between July 2002 and December 2007 were included in this retrospective study. Total implant survival was assessed. Completion of a modified 26-item version of the Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-G) for assessing the oral health-related quality of life before and after the treatment was asked for. Subcategories were (1) functional limitations, (2) physical and psychological disabilities, and (3) complaints due to the surgical procedure. In 53 patients available for clinical follow-up examination, assessment of soft tissue parameters was performed.ResultsAfter an average time in situ of 41.2 ± 27 months (3.4 years), the in situ rate was 95.4%. One-year survival rate and five-year survival rate according to Kaplan Meier were 95.4 and 94.4%. Concerning functional limitations, significant better values for OHRQoL after sinus augmentation procedure than before the treatment (p < 0.001) were seen. In the subcategory physical and psychological disabilities, all questions had significant better values after the sinus lift (p < 0.001). Concerning complaints due to the surgical procedure, mean total scores were 5.1 ± 5.4 pre-operative, 6.9 ± 6.1 (0–31) post-operative, and 2.4 ± 3.7 recently. This meant a significant difference between “pre-operative” vs. “post-operative” (p = 0.003), “pre-operative” vs. “recently” (p < 0.001), and “post-operative” vs. “recently” (p < 0.001). Concerning the influence of implant indication, edentulous patients showed the most distinct improvement after the procedure. Clinical assessment showed stable soft tissue parameters.ConclusionsEvaluation of OHRQoL after sinus augmentation showed a significant improvement indicating a remarkable benefit for the patients through this procedure.
