Abstract

Physical dimension (nutrition and speech) is one important factor for perception of overall oral health and quality of life. Main purpose of this study was to perform an assessment of the influence of the type of edentulismand mobile dentures to a possibility for nutrition and speech at geriatric patients in Macedonia. 165 patients at Gerontology Institute Skopje (inspected group-IG), 170 patients from the University Dental Clinic Skopje (control group-CG) age 65 and older, WHO and GOHAI questionnaires for oral health were used.
Geriatric patients with mobile dentures have disrupted physical dimension of the quality of life (nutrition and speech), significantly more expressed at patients of CG. Patients of both groups have significantly different quality of life, significantly lower at patients of CG.
