Abstract
Evaluation of Oral Health–Related Quality of Life (OHRQoL) among patients with single versus two-implant retained mandibular over dentures is of interest. Therefore, a prospective research was doneon 16 patients with Group A (Single implant retained overdentures group) and Group B (Two implant retained overdenture group). Subjective parameters were assessed using OHIP-14 questionnaire. Thus, single implant retained overdenture can be considered as a promising treatment modality for mandibular edentulous arches.
