Abstract
Objective: This study was conducted to evaluate oral health-related quality of life with different obturator materials in hemimaxillectomy patients.
Patients and Methods: Fourteen hemimaxillectomy patients were received a conventional obturator with combined metallic and heat cured acrylic resin. (Vertex™ Regular, Vertex-Dental B.V. Netherlands (Group I). Then the Patients received obturator constructed from a thermoplastic denture base . (Vertex™ Thermo Sens, Vertex-Dental B.V. Netherlands) (Group II). Oral health-related quality of life was measured after six months of obturator use using Functional Obturator Scale scores. Statistics were done using paired t-test to compare the oral health impact profile scale for edentulous patients in both groups.
Results: The mean total Functional Obturator Scale score [FOS] for group I and group II were 34.55 and 30.48 respectively. There was a a statistical significant different between both groups in relation to the mean total Functional Obturator Scale Score (P<.05).
Conclusions: It was concluded that after six months of obturator use in hemimaxillectomy patients, using a thermoplastic obturator resulted in a better oral health related quality of life than a conventional one. Therefore, it should be considered a treatment plan option to improve oral health-related quality of life.
