INFLUENCE OF PROSTHETIC TREATMENT ON PATIENTS GENERAL HEALTH-CLINICAL STUDY

Abstract

Prosthetic treatment, in general, has a significant impact on quality of life, with clinically relevant indicators and statistically verified effects over time. Material and methods: our research involved 172 patients who were treated with dental bridges, partial removable dentures, or complete removable dentures. Replacement of partially detachable and complete removable dentures that no longer matched the stomatognathic system’s functionality, as well as the installation of new dental bridges, were among the treatments. Results: the results of the present study showed that the majority of patients initially assessed their dental health as moderate (36.3 percent) or good (48.6%), whereas their overall health was rated as superior (56.4%).
