Abstract

Background: One major oral problem for Thai elderly patients is tooth loss, adversely affecting the quality of grinding and occlusion. Thus, wearing a complete denture to replace missing teeth is essential so that the patient can better use the denture to grind, talk, and improve their quality of life. Objectives: To investigate empirical evidence about denture quality factors affecting the oral-health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) of elderly with a conventional complete denture. Methods: This systematic review was conducted to search for related studies published between 2010 and 2020 from international data-bases, including PubMed, SCOPUS, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, and Sciencedirect. Two re-searchers independently conducted research by selecting research on denture quality factors affecting OHRQoL, critical appraisal of research, data extraction, and the narrative synthesis process. Results: Of all 699 studies obtained from the search, five studies were selected to include in this research. There were two retrospective cohort studies and three cross-sectional studies. The majority of studies were of short duration. Only one study provided 7-year evaluations. Conclusion: The denture quality factors affecting OHRQoL included maxillary and mandibular stability and retention, articulation, and esthetic.
