Evaluation of Bite Force, Quality of Life, and Patients' Satisfaction

Plain-language summary

Objectives: The purpose of this study is to evaluate bite force (BF), oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL), and patient satisfaction in 2-implant-supported overdentures. In addition, the effects of clinical parameters such as age, gender, implant length, implant diameter, locator attachment height, attachment color, and interimplant distance were also evaluated. Material and Methods: A total of 51 patients were included in the study. BFs were measured with a force meter in complete dentures and implant-supported overdentures. OHRQoL was assessed with the Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14) and patient satisfaction was assessed with the Visual Analog Scale (VAS).
