Assessment of Esthetics and Patient-reported Outcomes of Single Implant Crowns

Retrospective Assessment of Esthetics and Patient-reported Outcomes of Single Implant Crowns

The aim of this retrospective study is to perform an assessment of esthetic outcomes of single implants and obtain patient reported outcome measures through the use of a satisfaction questionnaire and the OHIP-14 (Oral Health Impact Profile) questionnaire. Dentists will be performing clinical examination including teeth charting and periodontal charting as well as pink/white esthetic score assessment and these outcomes will be compared to the level of patient satisfaction and patient reported outcomes. The results of this research will add evidence-based data on treatment recommendations for teeth replacement with implants from a patient-centered perspective.
