Relationship between Impacts of Complete Denture Treatment on Daily Living, Satisfaction and Personality Profiles

Abstract

Objectives: To investigate the association between satisfaction with conventional complete denture prostheses (CDs), impacts of CDs on daily living and personality profiles. Materials and methods:Fifty-six patients (28 males and 28 females; mean age 53.79 ± 7.762 years) with fitted upper and lower removable CDs were recruited for this study. Clinical success of CDs was assessed according to specific clinical criteria. The dental impact on daily living questionnaire (DIDL) was used to measure satisfaction with CDs and their impacts on daily living. NEO five factor inventory (NEO -FFI) was used to measure patients' personality profiles. Pearson correlation test and regression models were used to analyze the collected data.

Randomized controlled clinical investigation on the association between personality profiles and the impacts of two types of maxillary anterior implant‐supported crown restorations on daily living and dental satisfaction

“…The DIDL measures the relative weight of each one of these aspects and gives it a score, and then it adds the scores of all aspects into a single total score; this distinctive feature of the DIDL is not present by tests, such as the Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP). [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24] This explains the rationale behind selecting this test for the current investigation. 2,[8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24] Moreover, it was found more sensitive to the effects of personality changes, simple, and easy to score and understand.…”

“…[9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24] The use of implant-supported prostheses is a popular treatment modality to restore edentulous areas. Consequently, reliable and valid tests must be used to correctly assess the link between satisfaction and personality.…”

“…[9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24] The use of implant-supported prostheses is a popular treatment modality to restore edentulous areas. 2,6,[8][9][10][11][17][18][19][20] This might owe to patients' personality characteristics that might affect perceptions and acceptance of dental treatment and oral wellbeing. [7][8][9][10][11]30,31 Implant-supported restorations are expensive and require long treatment time, and, before being scheduled, patients' acceptance of this treatment modality is supposed to be guaranteed.…”

“…It improves individuals' oral health-related quality of life, is regarded as an integral part of an individual's body, and is accompanied with enhanced patients' aesthetics and comfort. [2][3][4][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24] The literature is short of reports on the link between personality profiles and implant-supported restorations in the maxillary anterior region. [8][9][10][11] Nevertheless, previous studies demonstrated that clinically successful restorations might not be satisfactory for every patient.…”

“…In view of the fact that previous literature demonstrated the existing correlations between personality profiles and satisfaction with other dental prostheses, 5,[8][9][10][11][16][17][18][19][20] exploring these correlations for different maxillary anterior implant-supported restorations might point out the most suitable therapy in this regard.…”
