Brief summary

The restorative and surgical odontological department at the Nantes University Hospital frequently hosts patients with a severely degraded oral condition who has never benefited from a removable prosthetic rehabilitation. The chosen treatment plan consists most of the time in extracting all the residual teeth at one or both arches with the immediate insertion of a complete removable prosthesis performed prior to the extractions. This prosthesis is adapted by regular relining during the osteomucosal healing and is replaced by a usage removable prosthesis on average 6 months after the extractions. The transition from dentate state (even dilapidated) to toothless state can be a source of discomfort and impairment and lead to a decrease of life's quality for patients. The purpose of this study is to evaluate oral health of the patients at the different stages of prosthetic rehabilitation by using GOHAI (Geriatric Oral Health Assessment Index).

Detailed description

Patients are selected at the beginning of their prosthetic rehabilitation and selected patients give their consent for the participation at the clinical trial. The filling of the GOHAI questionnaire is performed in 3 steps:1- before treatment, 2- after teeth extractions and the delivering of immediate complete denture or without immediate prosthetic rehabilitation and 3-during inspection visits after the delivery of the definitive denture.
