Abstract

Objective: This study aimed to analyze several factors influencing oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) among patients undergoing dental implant prosthetic treatment at Thai Thuong Hoang Hospital of Odonto-Stomatology and Aesthetic Plastic Surgery in 2024. Methods: A quantitative study was conducted on 190 patients using the OHIP-14 questionnaire, which encompasses 7 domains and 14 items, ensuring both validity and reliability. Data were processed and analyzed using SPSS version 20, applying descriptive statistics and inferential tests. A qualitative component was also conducted through interviews with the heads of the Implant and Aesthetic Prosthodontics Departments, as well as with patients. Data were collected through audio recordings, then coded and analyzed to further clarify the factors affecting OHRQoL. Results and Conclusion: Factors found to significantly influence OHRQoL (p < 0.05) included age group, presence of chronic comorbidities, tooth loss location, treatment cost, accessibility of services, aesthetic treatment outcomes, and percentage of functional masticatory recovery. Positive contributors to improved OHRQoL included favorable aesthetic results, high masticatory restoration efficacy, and the attitude of medical staff. It is recommended that the hospital management, along with the Implant and Aesthetic Prosthodontics Departments, enhance patient care systems, implement smart management applications, conduct staff communication skills training, and invest in infrastructure, equipment, and facilities to improve treatment quality.
