Abstract

Aim: To investigate anxiety and oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) with tooth supported fixed partial denture (TSFPD), implant supported fixed partial denture (ISFPD) and removable partial denture (RPD).

Materials and Methods: Patients with at least one missing tooth in a posterior region and with the indication of ISFPD (n = 50), TSFPD (n = 50), or RPD (n = 50) were selected for this study. The Control group (CG) had no complaints and any missing teeth. STAI-I (Spielberger’s State-Trait Anxiety Inventory-I), STAI-II (Spielberger’s State-Trait Anxiety Inventory-II), MDAS (Modified Dental Anxiety Scale) and OHIP-14 (Oral Health Impact Factor) scales were administered to the study group before the treatment and 3 weeks after delivery of the denture. Also the scales were applied to the CG. The data was analyzed by Kruskal Wallis-H, ShapiroWilk's, and Wilcoxon tests (α=0.05).

Results: The results shown that dental anxiety is low in all prosthetic treatment methods in the study. RPD patients' pre-treatment (mean: 31,8) and post-treatment (mean:28,14) OHRQoL were lower than other groups. There was no significant difference between the pre (mean: 26,7) and post-treatment (mean:24,92) OHRQoL values of the ISFPD patients. However, the lower mean values of OHIP-14 were obtained in the ISFPD group than in the CG (mean ISFPD: 24.92, CG: 26.42)

Conclusions: All three prosthetic treatments had positive effects on the OHRQoL of the patients. There were not also seen any unfavorable effects of prosthetic treatments on anxiety.
