Dr. Lally's doctoral thesis sought to investigate if the diagnostic complexity of edentulism relates to oral health related quality of life (OHRQoL), nutritional status and denture satisfaction. Further, to identify whether new conventional complete dentures have an impact on OHRQoL or denture satisfaction. Also considered was the impact of conventional complete dentures on OHRQoL and denture satisfaction to varying degrees depending on an individual's diagnostic classification. No difference in self reported status was found between edentulous patients who were rated less or more orally compromised, according to an objective scale of oral condition. All patient based outcomes measured improved following provision of complete dentures. Publications Freedman M, Lally U, Stassen L. (2020).
