The aim of this study was to assess change of the oral health related quality of life after fixed prosthetic treatment using implant therapy. One hundreds and twenty patients from 3 dental clinics in Seoul, Incheon and Daegu were recruited after verbal consent. The oral health related quality of life by OHIP-14, the treatment satisfaction by North Texas Periodontal Associates and the oral health interest w+ere measured before fixed prosthetic treatment using implant and one months after prosthetics. Total OHIP-14 changed significantly between pre- and post- treatment (p<0.001). Although gender(p=0.01), economic status (p=0.04) and education status (p=0.01) affect to OHIP-14 significantly before treatment, these factors didn’t have effects on OHIP-14 after treatment. The subjective satisfaction in masticatory function, social function and psychological function increased significantly after treatment (p<0.001). Besides, the patients’ oral health interests increased significantly after treatment (p<0.001). The fixed prosthetic treatment using implant therapy can improve the oral health related quality of life, subjective satisfaction of mastication, social function and psychological function, and oral health interest of dental patients.
