Abstract: Aim: To assess the improvement of the oral health-related quality of life in patients who received Corticobasal® implant-supported prostheses.Materials and methods: A cross-sectional study design was conducted using a structured survey based on the validated oral health impact profile-14 (OHIP-14) questionnaire, with the addition of knowledge questions to fulfill the study requirements.All the patients who planned to receive Corticobasal® implant-supported prostheses (BCS®, Dr. Ihde Dental AG, 8737 Gommiswald, Switzerland) at Narsinhbhai Patel Dental College and Hospital were asked to participate in the study after screening for the inclusion and exclusion criteria.The questionnaire was distributed and filled out before and six months after treatment for section C. Data were analyzed using SPSS 17.0 version.A paired t-test was used to analyze the average of all the OHIP-14 items (pretreatment vs posttreatment), while gender differences in total OHIP scores were analyzed using an independent-samples t-test.A p-value of < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.Descriptive statistics were presented in terms of tables and graphs.Results: A total of 82 patients (68.3% females, 31.7% males) participated in the study.A significant improvement was reported with the use of the Corticobasal® implant treatment (p = 0.0001), with no gender variation (p = 0.1341).Seventy-eight participants (95%) were very satisfied with the treatment's time, while 97.5% showed their interest in recommending the treatment modality.The majority of the participants knew about the treatment modality from social media.The participants reported high satisfaction with the treatment and overall outcomes.Conclusion: Corticobasal® implant treatment modality significantly improves the patient's quality of life with a reported enhancement in the patients' functional abilities and psychosocial well-being and reduced functional limitation.Clinical significance: Corticobasal® implant treatment is a reliable treatment option for rehabilitation patients presented with compromised bone support, with reported improvement in patient quality of life.
