Abstract

ObjectivesTo analyze the change of oral health impact profile (OHIP) in patients with full-mouth rehabilitations due to moderate/severe tooth wear dependent on different restorative materials (ceramic/experimental CAD/CAM composite).Materials and methodsTwenty-nine healthy patients (15 male/14 female, age 44.628.4years) requiring full-mouth rehabilitation due to different degrees of tooth wear were instructed to fill the German version OHIP-G49 questionnaire before (baseline) and 30days after prosthetic treatment with ceramic (n=17) or experimental CAD/CAM composite (n=12) restorations. Questions were divided into five dimensions: appearance, oral functions, psychosocial impact, linguistic limitations, and orofacial pain;changes between both OHIP-questionnaires for each question and patient were dissected by difference values, separately. Data were analyzed with the Kolmogorov-Smirnov, Wilcoxon's signed-rank, Kruskal-Wallis, Mann-Whitney, and Cronbach's alpha tests (significance level p=0.01).ResultsThe appearance dimension showed the highest results (p<0.001, 100% improvement with all values >0);the linguistic limitations dimension presented the lowest improvement (p<0.001). The other three dimensions were not statistically different. No statistical differences between the two materials depending on OHIP questionnaire results occurred.ConclusionsThe esthetic appearance of the patients was influenced positively by full-mouth rehabilitation, irrespective of the material used. Improvements were also made in the parameters toothache and problem of food intake. No statements could be made for the parameter language.Clinical relevance With an increasing number of patients with moderate/severe tooth wear, thorough knowledge about the improvement of OHIP is important. This information is advantageous for the consultation and handling of patients when complex treatments are planned.
