About this study

The aim of this study is to assess the cost-effectiveness of the mandibular overdenture retained by one and two 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. 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: mandibular overdenture retained by two implants group or single-implant mandibular overdenture group. Each participant allocated to the single-implant mandibular overdenture group will then receive a Straumann® Standard Plus SLActive® regular neck implant (Straumann 0.33.051S/052S/053S Institute Straumann AG, Basel, Switzerland) in the mandibular midline, and the mandibular overdenture retained by two implants group will receive two implants of the same specification, in the interphoramen region. A healing abutment will be connected and the implant will be allowed to heal for approximately 3 weeks. Then, a 3.4mm retentive titanium anchor abutment (Straumann 048.439, Institute Straumann AG, Basel, Switzerland) will be connected and tightened to 35 N.cm with a torque wrench. The matrix will be incorporated to the denture using self-curing acrylic resin and the patient will be instructed to keep the upper and lower dentures firmly occluded in the habitual position until the final polymerization of the resin. Outcomes (satisfaction with the dentures and oral health-related quality of life) will be measured at baseline and at the 6- and 12-month follow-up. Direct costs related to therapies in both groups will be identified, measured and valuated for one year after treatment. Incremental cost-effectiveness ratios will be estimated and graphically presented on cost-effectiveness planes. Sensitivity analysis on the most important assumptions will be performed in order to assess the robustness of the model.

Single-implant mandibular overdentureExperimentalParticipants allocated to this group will have an implant placed in the mandibular midline and after 3 weeks (healing period - early loading) an attachment system will be tightened and a retention matrix will be incorporated to the mandibular denture.

What is being measured

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

  1. Satisfaction with the dentures

    A 100 cm graduated 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". Each participant will indicate their level of satisfaction with each parameter by marking a point along the scale, in which ends mean "unsatisfied" and "satisfied", as it is closer to the beginning or the end of the scale, respectively.

    Measured: Changes from baseline to 12 months after the intervention

Secondary outcomes (3)
  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. Participants will be asked to sit upright in a dental chair and to chew the gum on their preferred chewing side for 20 cycles. Visual and electronic analysis of the chewed gums samples will be done according to the classification proposed by Schimmel et al. Analysis will be made by two investigators blinded to the study groups and treatment stage. The software ViewGum (dHAL Software, Kifissia, Greece, www.dhal.com) will be used for electronic colourimetric analysis.

    Measured: Changes from baseline to 12 months after the intervention

  2. Pain and discomfort

    A 100 cm graduated visual analog scale will be used to evaluate participants' assessments of pain and discomfort regarding the surgical process. Each participant will indicate their level of pain and discomfort with each parameter by marking a point along

    Measured: 24 hours, 7 days and 21 days after surgery

  3. Oral health-related quality of life impacts

    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: Changes from baseline to 12 months after the intervention

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Mandibular Overdenture in people with Edentulous Mouth, 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 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.

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?

Satisfaction with the dentures (time frame: Changes 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 NCT03691285, 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.
