Materials and Methods: Translated version of OHIP-EDENT questionnaire was used. 117 edentulous patients were interviewed by 3 specialists of prosthodontics who provided clinical oral examinations and interventions in health institutions of central Bosnia (Ethic approval-No 03-67-1/14). Results: Before interventions on complete dentures Crɑ = 0.80, after Crɑ = 0.76 indicated internal consistency of the questionnaire. Validity of discriminatory landmark of the instrument was confirmed by significant values of Pearson correlation r-ranging from 0.49 to 0.59 with respect dentures interventions. Test-retesting analysis showed correlation r-ranging from 0.46 to 0.58, respecting dentures interventions, with Kappa = 0.68, that indicated reliability of the questionnaire. Students' t-test pointed to significant reductions of the indexes in the subjects of functional limitation (0.02), psychological discomfort (0.01), physical disabilities (0.04) and handicap (0.04), influencing significantly better mark for quality of life and reduction of OHIP-EDENT index (t = 2.23; sig = 0.027). Analysis of variances for OHIP-EDENT general and group indexes respecting the condition of the patients after denture interventions showed improvement documented by significant reduction of general index (F = 9.64, p = 0.002), but in reductions of functional limitations (F = 5.66, p = 0.019), pain (F = 9.27, p = 0.003), physical disabilities (F = 6.14, p = 0.15), social disabilities (F = 4.03, p = 0.047) and handicap (F = 11.62, p = 0.001). Conclusions: Rebasing, buccal and lingual flanges corrections and occlusal corrections on complete dentures improved quality of life of the patients.

Methods Double-blind study was completed by 157 patients undergoing surgical removal of mandibular third molars. The patients were randomly assigned to the following three groups: moxifloxacin (M), cefixime (C), and placebo (P). Patients in each group were classified into two subgroups: subgroup (a), without previous history of pericoronitis, and subgroup (b), with previous history of pericoronitis. All the patients were evaluated at the postoperative follow-ups on the first, second, and seventh postoperative day. Results Postoperative infections were registered only in patients with a history of pericoronitis. Antibiotic prophylaxis with cefixime and moxifloxacin reduced the occurrence of postoperative infection. Overall incidence of postoperative infections was 6.4%. All postoperative infections were registered in the placebogroup, where the incidence of postoperative infection was 19.2%. Microbiological tests verified the clinically obtained results. Isolated microflora was resistant to penicillin-derived antibiotics in 50% of the cases. Conclusion Prophylactic use of antibiotics after third molar surgery should be weighed against potential risks and benefits and could be considered in cases with previous history of pericoronitis, when complicated surgical extraction is performed.

There is no scientific evidence that the prophylactic use of antibiotics as a part of the mandibular third molar surgery is effective in suppressing postoperative pain, edema, trismus, and dry socket. The aim of the study was to investigate the effects of antibiotics from the fluoroquinolone (moxifloxacin) and cephalosporin (cefixime) groups in reducing postoperative inflammatory sequelae (pain, edema, and trismus), as well as in possibly reducing the incidence of dry socket after mandibular third molar surgery. Methods. This double-blind study was completed by 157 subjects, comprising two study groups (who received the aforementioned antibiotics) and a control group, who received placebo tablets. Subjects were assessed on the first, second, and seventh day following surgery. In the postoperative course, patients were monitored for the occurrence, intensity, and duration of postoperative inflammatory sequelae and dry socket. Results. Both antibiotics, especially moxi...
