Impact of dental prosthetic treatment and patients' expectations on the seven domains and four-dimensional scale of the Oral Health Impact Profile.

Background: Recently, recommendations were given for a new scoring of the Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP). The original seven domain structure should be replaced by a four-dimensional scale.

Objectives: To investigate the effect of dental prosthetic treatment on the seven domains and the four-dimensional scale of the OHIP-G49/53 questionnaire.

Validation of the German-language version of the Liverpool Oral Rehabilitation Questionnaire version 3 and evaluation of oral-health-related quality of life among patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck.

The aim of this study was to translate the Liverpool Oral Rehabilitation Questionnaire version 3 (LORQv3) into German and validate this version in order to assess oral-health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) among head and neck cancer patients. This study was conducted at a German university clinic among patients who had completed therapy for squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (HNSCC). The original English-language LORQv3 was translated into German according to the forward-backward approach.

Impact of Missing Teeth on Oral-Health-Related Quality of Life: A Prospective Bicenter Clinical Trial.

Purpose: To investigate the effect of missing teeth on patients' oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL).

Materials And Methods: A total of 151 patients participated in this prospective bicenter clinical study (mean age: 64.7 ± 10.

The flexural strength of CAD/CAM polymer crowns and the effect of artificial ageing on the fracture resistance of CAD/CAM polymer and ceramic single crowns.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate the fracture resistance, flexural strength and Weibull modulus of an innovative CAD/CAM polymer and to compare its fracture resistance with that of glass ceramics.

Materials And Methods: A total of 32 (n = 16 IPS e.max CAD (LIDI); n = 16 LuxaCam Composite (LUXA)) first mandibular molar crowns were fabricated and cemented onto metal dies by use of luting composite.
