PURPOSE: To evaluate effects of a treatment taking into consideration esthetics, chewing, and oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) of two tooth replacement strategies for maxillary partially edentulous @entity1 with clasp (C- @entity7606 ) and precision attachment (PA- @entity7606 ) retained @entity7606 ( @entity7606 ). MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study included 150 @entity1 (72 @entity1 , 78 @entity1 ) who received maxillary RPDs; 88 @entity1 received clasp and 62 @entity1 received precision attachment retained RPDs. @entity1 completed three questionnaires before treatment and again 3 months after treatment: the Orofacial Esthetic Scale (OES), the Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14), and the Chewing Function Questionnaire (CFQ). Statistical analysis comprised descriptive statistics, paired t-test, and two-factor ANOVA. RESULTS: Both @entity7606 treatments yielded better after-treatment summary scores when compared with the baseline scores (p < 0.01); however, better results were obtained in the PA- @entity7606 group. Gender, as a single factor, did not yield significant effects; mutual interaction of retention type and gender yielded significant effects. The PA- @entity7606 female group assessed esthetics, chewing function, and OHRQoL significantly better than males, and significantly worse than males in the C- @entity7606 group. The covariate baseline scores yielded statistically significant effects; @entity1 with worse pretreatment condition benefited more from both therapies. CONCLUSIONS: Treatment outcomes were better in the PA- @entity7606 group than the C-RPDs. @entity1 showed greater concern for the treatment outcomes; their rates were significantly better than in male @entity1 in the PA- @entity7606 group; however, when their satisfaction was lower, their rates were significantly worse than in male @entity1 (in the C- @entity7606 group).
