About this study

Official title: A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial Alongside a Cost-effectiveness Analysis of the Mandibular Conventional Complete Denture Versus Single-implant Mandibular Overdenture

This is a randomized clinical trial designed to assess the 1-year effectiveness of two treatment modalities for the mandibular edentulists: conventional complete dentures and single-implant mandibular overdenture.

Read the detailed description

This randomized clinical trial alongside a cost-effectiveness analysis will include edentulous individuals who meet eligibility criteria. New maxillary and mandibular dentures will be fabricated for all participants following a standardized protocol. Then, participants will be randomized into one of the treatment groups: conventional complete denture group or single-implant mandibular overdenture group. Each participant allocated to the overdenture group will then receive an implant (Titamax TI cortical - Neodent, Brazil) in the mandibular midline followed by the immediate connection of an O-Ring/ball attachment with intra-oral incorporation of the retention system in the mandibular denture. Direct costs related to therapies in both groups will be identified, measured and valuated for one year after treatment and patient-reported outcomes will be assessed. Incremental cost-effectiveness ratios will be estimated and graphically presented on cost-effectiveness planes. A Markov decision tree will be constructed to set out the consequences of the competing alternatives. Sensitivity analysis on the most important assumptions will be performed in order to assess the robustness of the model.

What participants receive

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

  • Mandibular overdentureProcedure or surgery

  • Mandibular complete dentureOther

    Also called Complete denture

Study groups in NCT03463174
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Single-implant mandibular overdentureExperimentalParticipants allocated to this group will have a dental implant placed in the mandibular midline followed by the immediately insertion of a ball attachment and the incorporation of a retention matrix to the mandibular denture.
Receives: Procedure: Mandibular overdenture
Mandibular complete dentureActive comparatorParticipants allocated to this group will not receive any additional treatment besides the new set of conventional complete dentures. When needed, retreatment or any adjustment/repair in the dentures will be performed accordingly. Participants will receive regular maintenance for their dentures, including adjustments for the elimination of sore areas, denture relining and repair of fractures, when needed, until the end of the follow-up period.
Receives: Other: Mandibular complete denture

What is being measured

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

  1. Oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL)

    The cross-culturally adapted Brazilian version of the Oral Health Impact Profile for edentulous subjects (OHIP-EDENT) will be used. It contains 19 items divided in four different subscale domains: (I) masticatory discomfort and disability (four items), (II) psychological discomfort and disability (five items), (III) social disability (five items), and (IV) oral pain and discomfort (five items). The items are answerable by a 3-point Likert scale and responses will be summed to result an overall score. Higher scores represent worse OHRQoL.

    Measured: From baseline to 12 months after the intervention

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Satisfaction with the dentures

    Participants will report how satisfied they are on a 0-100 scale by choosing a multiple of 10. Zero will be considered the least satisfied possible and "100" the most satisfied possible.

    Measured: From baseline to 12 months after the intervention

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Mandibular overdenture and Mandibular complete denture in people with Mouth, Edentulous and Complete Edentulism, run by Universidade Federal de Goias at 1 site in Brazil.

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 3 inclusion and 4 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 13 Mar 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Brazil. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

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?

Oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) (time frame: From baseline to 12 months after the intervention). 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 NCT03463174, 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 13 Mar 2018; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
