Two hundred and thirty seven women took part in the study where researchers identified their satisfaction in relation to their replacement teeth and how it affects them in their home and at work. Women with one or more adjacent teeth were chosen to take part in the twenty three question survey.”

Women with implants reported the best quality of life improvements, followed by those with fixed partial dentures. Those with implants also scored the highest in terms of their emotional and sexual lives when compared to the other categories.”
