Abstract

The clinical outcomes of implant therapy are well documented in the scientific literature. Data and clinical knowledge on outcomes such as implant and prosthetic suprastructure survival, marginal bone loss, mechanical, technical and biological complications and aesthetics serve clinicians as evidence-based guidance for clinical treatment planning. These outcomes are,
however, intangible to the patient's mind. To assess patients' subjective evaluations of the treatment and treatment-related variables, patient-reported outcome measures were introduced in research. Oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) is one of the patient-reported outcome measures. Data supports that tooth loss has a profoundly negative impact on an individual's quality of life, affecting function, psychosocial well-being and aesthetics. This narrative review focuses on answering the question of whether oral rehabilitation with dental implants in edentulous individuals improves their oral health-related quality of life. Published data confirms that oral rehabilitation with dental implants, indeed, significantly improves oral health-related quality of life. However, certain treatment modalities of complete and partial edentulism and their outcomes are not equally well-represented in the literature.
Furthermore, strong conclusions on the superiority of the performance of implant treatment modalities compared to conventional prosthodontic treatment modalities cannot always be drawn.

Abstract (croatian)

Klinički ishodi implantološke terapije dobro su dokumentirani u znanstvenoj literaturi. Poznavanje podataka o ishodima kao što su preživljavanje implantata i protetske suprastrukture, gubitak marginalne kosti, mehaničke, tehničke i biološke komplikacije i estetski ishodi služe kliničarima kao smjernice utemeljene na dokazima za planiranje kliničkog liječenja. Ti su ishodi, međutim, neopipljivi za pacijentov um. Kako bi se procijenila subjektivna shvaćanja pacijenata o liječenju i varijablama povezanima s liječenjem, u znanstvena istraživanja uvedene su tzv. mjere ishoda koje navodi pacijent (engl.
patient-reported outcome measures). Kvaliteta života povezana s oralnim zdravljem jedna je od mjera ishoda koje navodi pacijent. Podaci iz znanstvene literature potvrđuju da gubitak zubi ima značajan negativni utjecaj na kvalitetu života pojedinca te utječe na njegovu funkciju, psihosocijalnu dobrobit i estetiku. Cilj ovo narativnog literaturnog pregleda jest dati odgovor na pitanje poboljšava li oralna rehabilitacija dentalnim implantatima u bezubih osoba njihovu kvalitetu života povezanu s oralnim zdravljem. Dostupni literaturni podaci potvrđuju da oralna rehabilitacija dentalnim implantatima, doista, značajno poboljšava kvalitetu života povezanu s oralnim zdravljem. Međutim, određeni modaliteti liječenja potpune i djelomične bezubosti i njihovi ishodi nisu jednako dobro zastupljeni u znanstvenoj literaturi. Nadalje, ne mogu se donijeti snažni zaključci o superiornosti ishoda pojedinih modaliteta liječenja dentalnim implantatima u usporedbi s konvencionalnim modalitetima protetskog liječenja.
