The aim of this study was to compare patients’ satisfaction and quality of life (QoL) when using implant overdentures vs. conventional dentures. The QoL of Saudi patients who were provided mandibular implant-supported overdentures was assessed using a structured questionnaire. Overall satisfaction; ability to speak, eat, and chew food; comfort; esthetics; stability; and satisfaction of general oral health were measured. A total of 48.3% vs. 6.9% were, overall, very satisfied with their implant overdentures and conventional dentures, respectively. A total of 37.9% of the patients were very satisfied regarding speaking with their implant overdentures vs. 17.2% with conventional dentures. Furthermore, 41.4% were very comfortable with their implant overdentures vs. 5.2% were very comfortable using conventional dentures. However, only 15.5% were very satisfied with the esthetics of the conventional dentures compared to 43.1% being satisfied with implant overdentures. Only 1.7% were very satisfied with the stability of conventional dentures vs. 44.8% being satisfied using implant overdentures. About 8.6% of the candidates were very satisfied regarding chewing food with conventional dentures vs. 36.2% being very satisfied using implant overdentures. Approximately 10.3% were very satisfied with their general oral health using conventional dentures compared to 29.3% being very satisfied using implant overdentures. Mandibular implant overdentures had a strong impact on patients’ quality of life over conventional complete dentures and should be considered the minimum standard of care provided to completely edentulous patients.

Objective: the objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of partial or total edentulism on the quality of life of elderly patients. Material and Methods: the sample consisted of 120 individuals, divided into edentulous patients with bi-maxillary complete dentures (CD) (n = 60) or partially edentulous individuals with maxillary CD and mandibular removable partial denture (RPD) (n = 60). Patients' quality of life was assessed using the OHIP-EDENT-19 questionnaire and the data were analyzed using the SPSS software. Results: patients using RPD presented higher quality of life compared to users of double CD, according to the values presented in OHIP-EDENT. Statistically significant differences were found when comparing the groups between complaints related to chewing (difficulty chewing, discomfort when eating, avoiding eating, interruption of meals), psychological discomfort and incapacity (unable to eat), social incapacity (unsatisfactory life), and painful mouth and discomfort (unsuitable prostheses, sore mouth). Conclusion: the type of prosthesis used may influence self-reported quality of life.
