Oral Health-Related Quality of Life in Dutch Children Diagnosed with Oligodontia. A Cross-Sectional Study.

There is need to get insight into condition-specific oral health-related quality of life in Dutch children with oligodontia. Between October 2014 and March 2017, 11-17-year-old oligodontia patients were approached to join a study assessing the impact of oligodontia on condition-specific oral health-related quality of life (OHrQoL). The patients received a condition-specific OHrQoL questionnaire prior to the start of orthodontic treatment.

Effect of implant therapy on oral health-related quality of life (OHIP-49), health status (SF-36), and satisfaction of patients with several agenetic teeth: Prospective cohort study.

Background: Effect of fixed prosthodontics on patients with several agenetic teeth is not well understood.

Purpose: To assess the effect of implant-based fixed prosthodontics on oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL), general health status, and satisfaction regarding dental appearance, ability to chew and speech in patients with several agenetic teeth.

Materials And Methods: For this prospective cohort study, all patients (≥18 years) with several agenetic teeth who were scheduled for treatment with fixed dental implants between September 2013 and July 2015 at our department were approached.

Dental implants with fixed prosthodontics in oligodontia: A retrospective cohort study with a follow-up of up to 25 years.

Statement Of Problem: Long-term assessments of implant survival and treatment outcome in patients with oligodontia are lacking.

Purpose: The purpose of this retrospective clinical study was to assess which factors determine a long-term implant survival and treatment outcome of up to 25 years in a cohort of patients with oligodontia.

Material And Methods: The medical records of all patients with oligodontia treated with fixed implant prosthodontics between January 1991 and December 2015 in the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at the University Medical Center Groningen, the Netherlands, were assessed.

Long-term implant performance and patients' satisfaction in oligodontia.

Objectives: To assess long-term (≥10 years) implant survival, peri-implant health, patients' satisfaction and oral health related quality of life (OHQoL) in oligodontia patients rehabilitated with implant-based fixed prosthodontics.

Methods: All oligodontia patients treated ≥10 years previously with implant-based fixed prosthodontics at the University Medical Center Groningen, The Netherlands, were approached to participate. Clinical (plaque index, bleeding index, pocket probing depth) and radiographic (marginal bone level) data were collected between February and May 2016.

Three-dimensional computer-guided implant placement in oligodontia.

Background: The aim of computer-designed surgical templates is to attain higher precision and accuracy of implant placement, particularly for compromised cases.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to show the benefit of a full three-dimensional virtual workflow to guide implant placement in oligodontia cases where treatment is challenging due compromised bone quantity and limited interdental spaces.

Patient And Methods: A full, digitalized workflow was performed for implant placement in two oligodontia patients.

Implant-retained overdentures for young children with severe oligodontia: a series of four cases.

Purpose: The treatment need is high in children with severe oligodontia and anodontia, because they often have functional and esthetic problems owing to missing teeth. Because the intraforaminal region barely grows after eruption of the permanent mandibular incisors, dental implant treatment should be considered a treatment option for these children. The purpose of our study was to assess the treatment outcomes regarding satisfaction and the care and aftercare of implant-retained mandibular overdentures in a series of 4 young children without erupted mandibular teeth from either severe oligodontia (n = 3) or anodontia (n = 1).
