About this study

Official title: A Clinical Trial on Conventional Dentures and Implant-retained Mandibular Overdentures With Respect to Oral Functionality and Quality of Life in Edentulous Patients

The purpose of this study is to investigate to what extent IOs improve the functionality of edentulous patients and changes in quality of life and overall patient satisfaction following treatment with IOs.

Read the detailed description

Edentulous individuals will be selected from patients attending the prosthodontic clinic. Then, new complete dentures will be provided; in a second stage half of these subjects (randomly selected) will receive IOs. The effect of different treatment protocols on chewing ability, patient satisfaction and OHRQoL will be investigated and assessed.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • implant-retained overdenturesProcedure or surgery

    subjects will receive two-implant-retained overdentures in the mandible,and they continue wearing their complete denture in the maxilla.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. masticatory efficiency

    masticatory efficiency will be measured with chwing-gum ,and the outcome will be analysed with the viewgum software

    Measured: three months after restoration of the implant-retained overdenture

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Oral health related quality of life

    Oral health related quality of life will be measured with the Oral Health Impact Profile 14(OHIP-14).

    Measured: three months after restoration of the implant-retained overdenture

  2. patients' satisfaction

    patients' satisfaction will be assessed on visual analog scales (VAS)

    Measured: three months after restoration of the implant-retained overdenture
