Analysis of the quality of life of patients rehabilitated with prostheses

Quality of life can be defined as an individual’s sense of comfort, well-being or happiness in the performance of physical, intellectual and psychological functions. In the oral cavity, the loss of dental elements causes various problems which affect the individual’s quality of life. In order to alleviate the discomfort of edentulous patients, Branemark protocol implant rehabilitation is a resource that can improve the functions of the stomatognathic system, aesthetics and the self-esteem of rehabilitated patients, promoting an improved quality of life. Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the quality of life of patients rehabilitated with the Branemark protocol using a questionnaire adapted from the Whoqol bref. Methodology: This cross-sectional study assessed the level of satisfaction and the impact on the quality of life of patients treated in the implant specialization department at the Centro Universitário do Pará, in northern Brazil.
