目的：无牙本质和传统的全口义齿治疗对口腔健康生活质量(OHQOL)有负面影响。粘合剂的使用可以提供植入物支持的假体的替代。本研究的目的是证明使用义齿粘合剂(DA)的新型全口义齿可以改善口腔健康相关的生活质量。材料和方法：143名患者在佩戴新型全口义齿3个月后进行口腔健康生活质量评估。14名参与者的老年口腔健康评估指数(GOHAI)得分较低，他们被纳入这项研究，并被要求使用DA。结果：GOHAI各领域(功能、疼痛、不适感、心理社会)得分均有显著改善，但即使在使用DA后，咀嚼参数仍未发现有统计学意义的变化。结论：使用DA可改善受试者管理传统义齿的能力，提高其口腔生活质量。随后需要一项更大规模的前瞻性多中心研究来证实这些结果。
Purpose: Edentulism and conventional complete denture treatment have been shown to have a negative impact on oral health quality of life (OHQoL). The use of an adhesive agent can provide an alternative to implant-supported prostheses. The objective of this study was to show that new complete dentures using a denture adhesive (DA) improve oral health-related quality of life.Materials and Methods: The oral health QoL of 143 patients was assessed after 3 months of wearing new complete dentures. Fourteen participants presented a low geriatric oral health assessment index (GOHAI) score and were included in this study and asked to use a DA. Oral health QoL and masticatory parameters were assessed at the beginning of the study, then at 3 and 6 months.Results: Significant improvements were observed in the scores obtained for each field of GOHAI (function, pain, discomfort, psychosocial); however, even after use of the DA, no statistically significant change in masticatory parameters was found.Conclusions: These results show that using a DA may improve subjects' ability to manage conventional dentures and enhance their oral quality of life. A larger, prospective, multicenter study is subsequently needed to confirm these results.
