Outcomes assessment of treating completely edentulous patients with a fixed implant-supported profile prosthesis utilizing a graftless approach. Part 2: Patient-related outcomes
The International Journal of Oral & Maxillofacial Implants Sep 20, 2017
Alzoubi F, et al. - This study was coordinated to evaluate outcomes of treating completely edentulous patients with a fixed implant-supported profile prosthesis, utilizing a graftless approach, for the maxilla and for the mandible, with an emphasis on patient-related outcomes, specifically maximum occlusal force, patient satisfaction, and effect on quality of life. The authors demonstrated that patients treated with a graftless approach reported high satisfaction and impact on quality of life. Significant differences between men and women were reported regarding maximum occlusal force values. The effect on quality of life appeared to improve when patients presented completely edentulous at the time of treatment as opposed to terminal dentition. Lastly, they detected significant positive correlations between satisfaction and impact on quality of life, impact on quality of life and posterior maximum occlusal force, anterior and posterior maximum occlusal force, and complications and anterior maximum occlusal force.
