TAM DİŞSİZ HASTALARDA YAŞ, CİNSİYET VE PROTEZ TECRÜBESİNİN YAŞAM KALİTESİ VE HASTA MEMNUNİYETİ ÜZERİNE ETKİSİNİN İNCELENMESİ

Abstract

Tam dişsiz bireylerin tedavisinde en yaygın olarak alt üst tam protezler kullanılmaktadır. Bu yüzden bu tedavi şeklinin hasta memnuniyeti ve yaşam kalitesine olan etkisinin araştırılması önem taşımaktadır. Hasta memnuniyeti ve yaşam kalitesini etkileyen birçok faktör mevcuttur. Bu çalışmada, bu faktörlerden yaş, cinsiyet ve protez tecrübesinin etkisinin incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. 25 bayan, 25 erkek toplam 50 dişsiz hasta bu çalışmaya dahil edilmiştir. Tüm hastalara alt üst tam protez yapımını takiben 6 ay süreyle protezleri kullandırılmış ve bu sürenin sonunda, yaşam kalitesi ölçümü için OHIP-14, memnuniyet ölçümü için de Visual Analog Scale (VAS) formları doldurtulmuştur. Araştırmanın istatistiksel sonuçlarına göre, olguların yaşları, cinsiyetleri ve protez sayıları ile VAS ve OHIP skorları arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir ilişki bulunmamıştır(p > 0.05).
