What is Quality of Life Assessment in Patients with Implant-supported and Resin-bonded Fixed Prosthesis for Bounded Edentulous Spaces about?
**Abstract:** **Objectives:** Dental implants have become increasingly popular in the prosthetic rehabilitation of patients with bounded edentulous spaces. Oral condition‐related quality of life (QOL) levels have rarely been assessed in these patients. **Material and methods:** Two groups of subjects with bounded edentulous spaces were studied: an implant‐supported fixed prosthesis group (11 patients) and a resin‐bonded fixed prosthesis group (33 patients). The two groups were well matched in terms of sex, age, missing units and location of missing units. The patients were requested to answer a self‐administered QOL questionnaire with two major subscales − oral condition‐ and general condition‐related QOL scores. The test–retest reliability of each question was pre‐examined and found acceptable (mean Spearman rank correlation coefficient was 0.55 ± 0.16). Mean QOL score differences between the two groups were analyzed by the Mann–Whitney __U__‐test. **Results:** Mean oral condition‐related QOL scores of the implant‐supported and resin‐bonded fixed prosthesis groups were 87.8 ± 9.5 and 87.1 ± 12.3% (__P__ = 0.85), and mean general condition‐related QOL scores were 73.8 ± 14.8 and 71
