Objectives: The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of oral prosthesis status on oral health-related factors and HINT-8 in middle-aged Koreans.
Methods: The effects of oral health-related factors and quality of life were analyzed according to the state of oral prostheses in 2,241 people using the 2019 KNHNES.
Results: The higher the condition of the prosthesis in the oral cavity, the worse the oral health status was perceived, and the problems with chewing and speaking were higher. As for the effect on quality of life, the more the oral prosthesis was, the more difficult it was to climb stairs, the pain increased, and the difficulty of memory increased.
Conclusions: According to the above results, in order to improve the quality of life of middle-aged Koreans living in Korea, follow-up care through regular dental visits is necessary so that they can be well managed even after the oral prosthesis is installed.
