ABSTRACT

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of denture use on the quality of life of cancer patients aged ≥40 years. Methods: Data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2013–2018) were used in this study. A total of 302 individuals were selected as the final study participants. Data were analyzed using the chi-square test and logistic regression analysis using SPSS software. Results: The quality of life in the group with dentures was lower than that in the group without dentures. Conclusions: The use of dentures had a significant effect on the quality of life of cancer patients aged ≥40 years. Therefore, national dental care guidelines and policies should be developed to prevent an increase in tooth loss in patients with cancer.
