摘要

Background

Edentulism negatively affects masticatory function, nutritional status, and oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL). This study aimed to evaluate the association between prosthetic rehabilitation type, nutritional status, and OHRQoL in completely edentulous patients.

Methods

A total of 140 completely edentulous patients were included in this cross-sectional study and divided into three groups: conventional complete dentures (CD), implant-supported overdentures (IOD), and implant-supported fixed prostheses (IFP). OHRQoL was assessed using OHIP-14 and OHQoL-UK, while nutritional status was evaluated using the MNA-SF. Statistical analyses were performed to compare groups and assess correlations.

Results

Patients with implant-supported fixed prostheses demonstrated significantly more favorable OHRQoL and MNA-SF scores compared with conventional denture users (p < 0.05). Significant associations were observed between oral health-related quality of life measures and nutritional status.

Conclusions

Implant-supported prosthetic rehabilitation was significantly associated with more favorable oral health-related quality of life outcomes, while differences in nutritional status were also observed among prosthetic rehabilitation groups.
