About this study

The aim of this study is to assess the cost-effectiveness of the mandibular overdenture retained by one and two implants and the mandibular fixed prosthesis retained by four implants, based on a randomized clinical trial.

Read the detailed description

This randomized clinical trial alongside a cost-effectiveness analysis will include 48 edentulous individuals who meet eligibility criteria. Participants will receive conventional complete denture treatment and will be randomized into three groups: single-implant mandibular overdenture group, mandibular overdenture retained by two implants, and fixed mandibular prosthodontics retained by four implants. CBCT and panoramic radiographs will be obtained to assess if bone sites in three-dimensional terms have a minimum volume for receiving implants of at least 3.75 x 9 mm. All patients will receive Titamax IT Cortical implants (Neodent, Curitiba, Brasil) and correspondent prosthodontic components - O'ring/ball abutments for overdentures. Satisfaction with the dentures and oral health-related quality of life impacts will be considered the measures of effectiveness for the three interventions. Cost assessment and cost-effectiveness analysis will be performed from the healthcare provider perspective. Further analysis will be performed using the patient's perspective, in which the costs will be estimated according to the reference price of dental procedures and treatments of the Brazilian Dental Association (Hierarchical Brazilian Classification of Dental Procedures - CBHPO) and the gross costs will be obtained from a panel of experts. Quantification and costing of the resources will be carried out in three steps: identification of the relevant costs to the assessment; measurement of the resources used; and valuation of the resources. The costs will be calculated in Brazilian currency for each patient until one year after treatment. Incremental cost-effectiveness ratios will be calculated to assess the incremental cost for each unit of effectiveness.

What is being measured

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

  1. Satisfaction with the dentures

    A 10 cm uninterrupted visual analogue scale will be used in order to assess the participants' ratings of their satisfaction with the upper and lower dentures in relation to the parameters "general satisfaction", "comfort", "stability", "aesthetics", "ability to speak" and "ability to chew".

    Measured: 1-year

  2. Oral health-related quality of life impacts

    Oral Health Impact Profile Instrument for edentulous subjects (OHIP-EDENT) in order to assess the impact of oral health conditions on quality of life of participants.

    Measured: 1-year

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Masticatory efficiency

    Masticatory efficiency will be assessed as a secondary outcome using a two-colored chewing gum test and a qualitative and quantitative colourimetric method to measure the color-mixing ability.

    Measured: 1-year

  2. Cost

    Direct and indirect treatment costs

    Measured: 1-year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Single-implant mandibular overdenture, Two-implant mandibular overdenture and Fixed mandibular denture in people with Edentulous Mouth, run by Universidade Federal de Goias.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Apr 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Satisfaction with the dentures (time frame: 1-year). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03056976, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 16 Apr 2020.
