P. 29
Paper 4 was designed as a multi-informant prospective study. We recruited patients, suited for complete denture treatment (conventional denture, overdenture and fixed denture) or single tooth replacement. All patients were asked to select an extra observer, close to their life. Patients were evaluated before and after full completion of the treatment. A self-rating and an observer rating was performed on following topics: OHRQoL, Personality and social participation. The comparison between the two timepoints was performed pairwise (within patient comparison), comparison between self- and observer rating was also performed pairwise (matched observer) and comparison between the single unit and complete denture group was performed on a group level.
