The loss of teeth, defined by the World Health Organization as a disability, entails physical and psychological changes in the patient. The professional can diagnose the physical state, but he cannot analyze the psychological situation if he does not use instruments that measure the oral health and the influence that this has on the patient’s lifestyle. This has led to many studies that analyze the quality of life related to oral health. A bibliographical review was conducted of the scientific literature published on the subject. The literature provides a consensus among the authors, in which patient satisfaction after an implant treatment improves substantially. Among the factors that may condition the degree of satisfaction of these patients are the type of prosthesis, the years of rehabilitation, age, gender, state of general health, socioeconomic factors, diet and preoperative anxiety. The implant treatment of the edentulous patients leads to highly satisfactory functional, aesthetic and psychological results. The type of prosthesis, as well as the characteristics of each patient, condition the degree of satisfaction.
