Introduction. Stomatoprothetic dentures are one of the factors
of oral health and life quality of people of all ages. The aim of
the paper is to make a connection between the oral health quality and quality of life on one side and the type of denture on the
other. Material and Methods. This research study was conducted on the sample of 360 patients singled out in three numerically
identical groups as follows: group I – patients treated with fixed
dentures, group II – patients treated with mobile dentures, and
group III – patients treated with both fixed and mobile dentures.
The oral health quality was observed via five parameters: anamnestic data, symptoms of ill-functioning of basic functions in
stomatogenic system (chewing and speech), extra oral examination, intraoral examination, and dental abilities. For some oral
health quality parameters, the index of quality was determined.
Results. Analyses of our three target groups of patients indicated
that the patients from group I (treated with fixed dentures) suffered the least negative effects in line with the observed parameters; they are followed by patients from group III (combined
dentures) and patients from group II (mobile dentures), respectively. Conclusion. Our research study showed that some oral
health parameters have different impacts on health and life quality in patients treated with different stomatoprosthetic dentures.
