Evaluation of Patient Satisfaction in Implant Supported Fixed Prosthesis

Öz

Aim: Many study have been carried out on the success of implant-supported fixed prostheses, clinical and radiographicly. However, very few of these studies evaluated patient satisfaction. Our aim is to evaluate the satisfaction of patients who fixed prosthetic treatment with implant support fixed prostheses constructed between 2015-2018. Matherial and Method: 56 patients who were successfully treated with implant-supported fixed prostheses, clinically and radiographically, were included in the study. Patients were directed to a questionnaire consisting of 12 questions. Results: The patients who were included in the evaluation reported that they were very satisfied with the function of the implant supported prostheses and that they could chew very easily. The number of the participants reported that there was no difference between fixed prostheses and their own teeth and their function in the past in terms of chewing and speech function. When the fixed prosthesis is evaluated aesthetically, 65% of the individuals were very satisfied, while 20% reported that they were satisfied enough with the aesthetic result. 72 percent of patients reported that they were able to clean their prosthetics easily. Conclusions: The number of the patients involved in the study are satisfied with the fixed prosthesis treatment on the implant in terms of function, fonation and aesthetic aspects. However, the cost of treatment could not be satisfied in terms of a similar.

İmplant Destekli Sabit Bölümlü Protezlerde Hasta Memnuniyetinin Değerlendirilmesi

Öz

Amaç: İmplant destekli sabit bölümlü protezler ile rehabilite edilen hastalarda implantların klinik ve radyografik başarısı ile ilgili birçok çalışma mevcut olmasına rağmen, hasta memnuniyeti ile ilgili az sayıda çalışma mevcuttur. Çalışmamızın amacı 2015-2018 yılları arasında implant destekli sabit bölümlü protezler ile rehabilite edilen hastaların protezleri ile ilgili memnuniyet derecelerini belirlemektir. Gereç ve Yöntem: İmplant destekli sabit bölümlü köprüler ile rehabilite edilen ve 56 adet hasta, implant ve restorasyonların uygulanma ve takip süresince klinik ve radyolojik olarak başarılı kabul edilme koşulu ile çalışmaya dahil edildi. Hastalara 12 sorudan oluşan bir anket formu yöneltildi. Bulgular: Değerlendirmeye dahil edilen hastalar, implant destekli sabit bölümlü protezleri ile rahatlıkla çiğneme yapabildiklerini ve fonksiyonel açıdan son derece memnun olduklarını ifade etti. Çalışmaya katılan bireylerin büyük çoğunluğu çiğneme ve konuşma fonksiyonu açısından, protezler ile geçmişte kendi dişleri ile gösterdikleri fonksiyon arasında bir fark bulunmadığını bildirdi. Protezler estetik açıdan incelendiğinde, bireylerin %65’i çok memnun iken, %20’si estetik sonuçtan yeterince tatmin olduklarını bildirdiler. Hastaların yüzde 72'si protezlerini kolaylıkla temizleyebildiğini bildirdi. Sonuç: Çalışmaya katılan hastaların büyük çoğunluğu estetik, fonksiyon ve fonasyon açısından implant destekli sabit bölümlü protez tedavisinden memnun olduklarını ifade ederken tedavi maliyetleri konusunda benzer oranda memnuniyet elde edilmedi.
