ABSTRACT Context Oral conditions and their impacts on quality of life (QoL) are now important as a tool to evaluate patients’ perception of treatment offered to them. There are various indexes used as a tool to assess the QoL of the individual. The general oral health assessment index (GOHAI) is a proven and reliable index to assess the oral health and its impact on oral healthrelated quality of life (OHRQoL). Aim To evaluate the effect of complete denture rehabilitation on OHRQoL in completely edentulous patients. Settings and design The study compares the improvement of OHRQoL of 50 completely edentulous patients enrolled in the study, after rehabilitation of them with conventional complete dentures. Materials and Methods Hindi version of the GOHAI was used as evaluation tool for OHRQoL. Statistical analysis Wilcoxon signed-rank test was applied to assess changes in GOHAI score before and after rehabilitation with a complete denture. Results The GOHAI score was seen to be increased from 22.30 ± 1.67 to 27.48 ± 1.13 (p-value < 0.000), which was highly significant. Conclusion The GOHAI is an example of a patient-based assessment of oral health problems commonly affecting older adults. The GOHAI assessment indicates improvement in chewing. The highest change between pre- and postinsertion scores was 92.75% for biting or chewing any kind of food. How to cite this article Patel J, Sethuraman R, Prajapati P, Patel J.

Edentulism is one of the most important oral health challenges, which results in adverse social and psychological consequences. A conventional complete denture is utmost usually used treatment modality for these patients. A few studies assessed the quality of life of patients before as well as one month after complete denture therapy. This study aimed to assess the consequence of complete denture therapy on oral health-related quality of life of edentulous patients. This study was conducted on 43 edentulous patients in 2018-2019 who met the inclusion criteria. After obtaining their written informed consent and ethical approval from the university medical ethics committee, patients were requested to fill out the standardized Persian version of the oral health impact profile-14 (OHIP-14) questionnaire before as well as one month after the delivery of complete denture via an interview. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 21 via the Wilcoxon and MannWhitney U tests. The total score of quality of life (OHIP-14) of patients considerably improved after treatment (P<0.001). The quality of life of patients significantly improved in all domains (P<0.001) except for functional limitation (P=0.122) and physical pain (P=0.009) domains, which had a more favourable status before the denture delivery. The difference in OHIP-14 total score of patients was significant regarding sex and age before (P=0.004 and P=0.006, respectively) and after (P=0.022 and P=0.007, respectively) denture delivery. Edentulous patients showed an improvement in oral health related quality of life at one month after denture delivery.

O presente trabalho teve como intuito apresentar um relato de caso que exigiu intervenção cirúrgico-protética para confecção de uma prótese total imediata em uma paciente com periodontite crônica. Paciente do gênero feminino, 40 anos, que se apresentou no plantão da Clínica de Periodontia da Universidade Federal de Alfenas - UNIFAL, manifestando como queixa principal “os dentes amolecidos”. Após anamnese e exame clínico, foi solicitado o exame radiográfico. Por meio deste, pode-se constatar a presença de periodontite crônica, dentes com extensa destruição coronária por cárie e presença de raízes residuais. Para tanto foi delineado o planejamento desta paciente com o objetivo de reabilitar a saúde bucal, estética e a função através da prótese total imediata. As próteses totais imediatas representam um procedimento clínico necessário, vantajoso e eficaz para pacientes que, inevitavelmente, deixarão de apresentar uma condição dentada ou dentada parcial.
