“…Occlusal support was assessed using the Eichner index, and the type of dynamic occlusion was also evaluated . Denture retention was considered good when it was extremely or moderately difficult to break the peripheral seal . Stability was assessed in a similar way to retention but applying a rotational force, and classified as good if there was little or no movement of the denture …”

“…In the clinical examination, any soft tissue covering the alveolar bone was evaluated, considered firm if the tissue was stable or slightly moveable, and considered not firm if the soft tissue crest was moveable. 19 The denture type, material, and integrity (lack or breakage of any denture component) were determined by inspection. The occlusal vertical dimension (OVD) was considered reduced when the difference between mandibular rest position and intercuspal position was more than 4 mm in the incisor area.…”

“…All diese factors are diffi cult to assess and no generally accepted standards ex ist.33'34 Accordingly, die validity and reliability of record ings of the quality of complete dentures are often doubtful. 35 '36 This problem could be one cause of the discrepancy between the professionally assessed denture quality and the subjective judgment of the patients. Another cause may be that professionally assessed den ture quality assessment does not consider an important aspect of the intraoral condition: the quality of the den ture-bearing surfaces, the residual alveolar ridges, In other words, it is quite possible that professionally ac ceptable complete dentures do not satisfy the wearer because of the quality of the denture-bearing surfaces.…”

Purpose. This study introduces the concept "prosthetic condition", which combines the quality of complete dentures and residual alveolar ridges. Material and methods.A pilot study was performed to select quality criteria with an acceptable interobserver agreement. With these criteria, a clinical examination was performed to assess the quality of the existing complete dentures and the residual alveolar ridges of 397 complete denture wearers. During clinical examination, the interobserver agreement of the selected criteria was retested. The "prosthetic condition" was assessed by combining the scores for denture quality and quality of the residual alveolar ridges. Subsequently, participants* satisfaction widi and complaints about their dentures were scored according to their answers to specific questions.Results. Logistic regression analysis demonstrated that no variable of the "prosthetic condition" proved to explain the denture satisfaction. Some variables of die "prostiietic condition" had a significant but not relevant correlation with some denture complaints. Conclusions.More research is necessary to substantiate the concept "prosthetic condition" as an acceptable measure of professionally quality assessment of dentures and denture-bearing surfaces. How ever, in determining the treatment need of community-dwelling groups, this concept seems a more realistic measure than denture quality only. (J Prosthet Dent 1997;78:472-8.) CLINICAL IMPLICATIONSIn this study the concept "prosthetic condition^ combining the quality of complete dentures and residual alveolar ridges, was introduced, In determining the treatment need of community-Spelling groups, this concept seems a more realistic measure than denture quality only; however, no variable of the "prosthetic condition'1 proved to ex plain denture satisfaction. r p JL he professionally assessed quality of complete dentures does not agree with the subjective judgment of die patients. In some studies, it has been demonstrated diat no statistically significant positive correlations be tween the two variables have been recorded;1'4 in other studies, weak or moderately significant positive correla tions were found.5'10 Prosthodontic and surgical treat ments are developed to improve patients5 denture satis faction.11'17 However, in complete denture treatment, the delivery of technically and biologically acceptable dentures should not be the only goal; psychologic fac tors should also be considered. Psychological assessments of patients have been found to be without influence on patients' judgment of dentures,1"3,18'21 whereas others have been reported to distinguish significantly between satisfied and dissatisfied denture wearers.22'27 Several stud- ies demonstrated that patients5 judgment can be pre dicted by information related to patient perceptions, ex pectations, and prior experiences,8,28-32 Denture quality is defined in relation to a number of factors, such as retention, stability, fit, vertical dimen sion, occlusion, and esthetics. All diese factors are diffi cu...

“…In this context, edentulism and conventional complete denture treatment have been shown to have a negative impact on OHRQoL [4]. The success or failure of oral treatment using conventional dentures depends on many factors, including the practitioner’s technical skills and unfavorable oral conditions [5]. The psychological aspect of treating edentulism is of great importance and the patient/practitioner relationship is essential [6].…”

BackgroundVery few studies on the impact of implant therapy on Oral Health Related Quality of Life (OHRQoL) in partially edentulous patients have been published.AimThis study aimed at analysing the improvement of OHRQoL of patients who underwent dental implant treatment using the “functional”, “psychosocial” and “pain and discomfort” categories of the Geriatric Oral Health Assessment Index (GOHAI).MethodsWithin a prospective cohort of patients rehabilitated with Straumann dental implants, the OHRQoL of 176 patients (104 women and 72 men) was assessed using the GOHAI questionnaire, at two different times, before and after implant placement. The degree of oral treatment was categorised into three classes: “Single Tooth Implant” (n = 77), “Fixed Partial Denture” (n = 75), “Fixed or Retained Full Prostheses” (n = 24). The participants’ characteristics (gender, age, tobacco habits, periodontal treatment, time between both evaluations) were assessed.ResultsBefore treatment, the GOHAI score was lower for participants with fewer teeth (F = 19, P < 0.001). After treatment, no difference was observed between participants; significant improvements were observed in the GOHAI scores obtained (repeated measures, analysis, (F = 177, P < 0.001)) for each of the GOHAI fields studied (functional, psychosocial and pain & discomfort), regardless of the degree of treatment. The best improvement was observed in patients who needed complete treatment (P < 0.001). The presence of preliminary periodontal treatment, tobacco habits, age and gender of the participants did not have a significant impact on OHRQoL. Changing the time between the two evaluations (before and after treatment) had no impact on the changes in the GOHAI score.ConclusionsImplants enhanced the OHRQoL of participants that needed oral treatment.
