At five years, 86.2% of patients reported high satisfaction with their implant-supported restorations, especially in phonetics and chewing comfort.
Using a Visual Analog Scale, patients averaged a satisfaction score of 92.8%, with 100% satisfaction for phonetic outcomes and 94% for chewing comfort.
Data were collected through comprehensive questionnaires, including the OHIP-14 and PIDAQ, to measure OHRQoL and psychosocial impacts related to dental aesthetics.
The findings highlight the importance of long-term assessment in clinical practices, showing minimal OHRQoL impairment and a strong positive psychosocial influence from dental implants.
