title: [Quality of life and treatments with oral implants].
abstract: One of the options for treating a patient who has lost a tooth is an implant-supported prosthetic construction. Implant therapy has shown to be a predictable and reliable treatment and the implant survival rate is high. The influence this treatment has on the quality of the patient's life deserves more attention. The overall tendency is that implant treatments have a favourable effect on quality of life.
