Changes in Oral Health-related Quality of Life (OHRQoL) During Full Arch Implant Treatment

Full-arch implant-supported fixed dental prostheses are a widely accepted treatment for edentulous patients, with high long-term implant survival rates. However, further research is needed on longer-term patient satisfaction and on the psychosocial impact of this treatment on patients' daily life and functioning. Assessing patient-reported outcomes - oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) and patient satisfaction - allows the impact of full-arch rehabilitation on patients to be evaluated.

Inclusion Criteria: Adults aged 18 years or older. Patients requiring full-arch implant-supported rehabilitation of the maxilla and/or mandible. Patients with indication for immediate full-arch implant-supported rehabilitation using 4, 6, or 8 implants per arch, according to anatomical and clinical conditions.

Exclusion Criteria: Patients with medical contraindications for implant surgery. Patients unable to provide informed consent. Patients unable to complete the study questionnaires Patients with uncontrolled systemic conditions that may contraindicate implant therapy. Patients unable or unwilling to attend the planned follow-up visits. Patients receiving partial-arch implant rehabilitation only.
