Patient Satisfaction and OHRQoL In Removable Versus Fixed Implant Prostheses

Objectives to evaluate the oral health-related quality of life and patient satisfaction in completely edentulous patients, when restored by maxillary and mandibular fixed (screw-retained) or removable telescopic retained implant supported prosthesis. 19 patients were randomized to receive either a fixed or a removable maxillary and mandibular full arch implant prosthesis. They were then asked to answer the OHIP-14 and a patient satisfaction questionnaire at 2 weeks, 3, 6 and 12 months post-prosthetic insertion.
