Abstract Objective: To investigate the impact of inadequate prostheses on older adult's quality of life at the Integrated Health Center for Older Adults in the northeastern city of Brazil. Material and Methods: A cross-sectional study involving 147 older adults aged 60-90 years old in João Pessoa, Brazil. Interviews and oral examinations were carried out to collect demographic characteristics (age and gender) and clinical dental measures (use of inadequate upper and/or lower dental prosthesis) and Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14 Questionnaire). The Pearson Chi-square and Fisher's exact tests were used to evaluate the association between the OHIP-14 dimensions and the use of unsatisfactory prostheses (p<0.05). Results: The sample consisted of 90.5% of women being a mean age of 69.86 (± 6.60) years. Individuals with inadequate prostheses had a higher impact on quality of life, with a predominant prevalence ratio for developing physical pain (PRR = 3.52; CI = 4.69-2.65), psychological discomfort (PRR = 5.0; CI = 5.85-4.26) and psychological inability (PRR = 1.71; CI = 2.56-1.14). Conclusion: The use of inadequate prostheses had a negative impact on the quality of life of the older adult population. Therefore, services, which provide health care for older adults, should overcome this reality by providing broad access to oral rehabilitation that is appropriate to the needs of each individual.

Abstract The aim of this non-randomized controlled clinical trial was to evaluate the oral health-related quality of life and masticatory efficiency of patients rehabilitated with mandibular two-implant overdentures with immediate loading or conventional dentures. Fifty completely edentulous patients wearing bimaxillary conventional dentures, for at least one year, were recruited. The patients were then assigned to either two treatment groups: mandibular overdentures supported by two implants with bar-clip system and a maxillary conventional denture (n = 25), and new maxillary and mandibular conventional complete dentures (n = 25). Masticatory efficiency and oral health-related quality of life were assessed before and 3 months after denture insertion. The Brazilian version of OHIP-Edent questionnaire was used to assess the oral health-related quality of life. Masticatory efficiency was evaluated with chewing capsules through a colorimetric method. The results revealed fewer oral health-related quality of life problems in patients wearing mandibular two-implant overdentures compared to the conventional dentures group. In addition, the implant overdenture group presented statistically significant improvement in masticatory efficiency (p = 0.001). There was no correlation between masticatory efficiency and OHIP in the implant group (p > 0.05), however a correlation was found in the conventional denture group (p < 0.05). Therefore, these short-term results suggest that mandibular overdenture retained by 2 implants with immediate loading combined with maxillary conventional dentures provide better masticatory efficiency and oral health-related quality of life than mandibular conventional dentures.

Dental ceramics present excellent ability to reproduce the natural teeth regarding esthetic and biomechanics. Recently, due to the advancement of ceramic technology, metal-free restorations were developed. However, the traditional metal-ceramic restorations still present the requirements of high strength, long survival in the oral environment and favorable aesthetics. In this context, it is essential to know the specificity of each ceramic system available in order to apply it properly to various clinical situations. This report describes an integrated rehabilitation using metal-ceramic restorations of a patient at 50 years of age, who presented edentulous spaces, and previous unsatisfactory composite and amalgam restorations, and indirect metallic restorations, leading to compromised quality of life in both functional and psychosocial aspects. The impact on quality of life was measured using a generic instrument, OHIP-14, validated for the World Health Organization, which covers both the biological and the psychosocial dimensions. This instrument was applied to the patient before and after treatment. The patient had an overall OHIP-14 score of 28 before the treatment and after treatment the score decreased to 0, showing that dental and oral health conditions are factors that do impact on the quality of life. Rehabilitation has provided functional and aesthetic restorations, harmony of the stomatognathic system and improvement of life quality.
As cerâmicas dentais são conhecidas pela excelência em reproduzir artificialmente dentes naturais. Recentemente, devido ao aprimoramento da tecnologia cerâmica, surgiram as restaurações livres de metal. Entretanto, as tradicionais metalocerâmicas ainda preenchem adequadamente os requisitos de alta resistência, longa sobrevida em meio bucal e estética favorável. Neste contexto, é fundamental conhecer a especificidade de cada sistema cerâmico a fim de indicá-lo adequadamente às diversas situações clínicas. Este artigo relata um caso de reabilitação integral e integrada de paciente de 50 anos de idade, portador de espaços edêntulos, restaurações protéticas posteriores e restaurações diretas anteriores insatisfatórias, resultando em comprometimento da qualidade de vida nos âmbitos funcional e psicossocial, utilizando coroas metalocerâmicas. O impacto na qualidade de vida foi mensurado utilizando um instrumento genérico, OHIP-14, validado pela Organização Mundial de Saúde, que abrange tanto a dimensão biológica, como a dimensão psicossocial. Este instrumento foi aplicado à paciente antes e após o tratamento, obtendo pontuação total de 28 e 0 respectivamente, o que mostra que a condição de saúde oral representa fator de grande impacto sobre a qualidade de vida. A reabilitação oral proporcionou restabelecimento funcional e estético, harmonia do sistema estomatognático e melhoria da qualidade de vida da paciente.

A carga imediata é usada para definir os implantes que sofrem carga mastigatória em seguida, consecutivamente após a realização dos estágios cirúrgicos e protéticos. O protocolo cirúrgico de um só passo envolve a aplicação de carga imediata nos implantes dentais, ou seja, a colocação de uma prótese provisória logo após o procedimento cirúrgico, representando uma alternativa viável para a reabilitação de pacientes com perda parcial ou total dos dentes. Essa técnica oferece aos profissionais e pacientes, muitas vantagens, pois possibilita a diminuição dos custos, evita uma segunda intervenção e diminui o tempo de tratamento, restabelecendo a estética e a função.
The immediate load system is used to define the implants suffering masticatory load then consecutively after both surgical and prosthetic stages. The surgical protocol of one step involves the application of immediate load dental implants or the placement of a temporary prosthesis immediately after surgery, representing a viable alternative for the rehabilitation of patients with partial or total loss of teeth. This technique offers professionals and patients, many advantages because it enables the reduction of costs, avoids a second surgical procedure and reduces the treatment time, restoring aesthetics and function.
