Summary

Background/Aim: To evaluate the esthetic outcome of single implant restorations and the correlation of these esthetic results between patient satisfaction and oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL). Material and Methods: 15 patients with single-tooth implants in the anterior maxilla region were included in this study. Patients were clinically followed to evaluate the esthetic outcomes of implant prostheses and photographs of the implant site were obtained using a digital camera. A researcher evaluated the photographs according to the pink esthetic score/white esthetic score (PES/WES) index. Patients were asked to complete a questionnaire including 13 questions to evaluate their satisfaction with the overall implant and restoration treatments using by visual analogue scale (VAS). OHRQoL was evaluated by patients with the questionnaire Oral Health Impact Profile-14 (OHIP-14). Results: The mean PES/WES was 13.6. In Ohip-14 questionnaire, the questions were answered ‘never’ generally. The mean VAS score was 9.01±0.9 and ranged from 7.6 to 9.7. There was no correlation between VAS and PES/WES (p= 0.484), similarly, there was no correlation between OHIP-14 and PES/WES (p= 0.763). Conclusions: All of the implant restorations’ PES/WES scores were clinically acceptable. Professionals evaluated the esthetic outcome more suspicious than patients. Patients were satisfied with the esthetic results.
