Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (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.

    From baseline to 12 months after the intervention

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Satisfaction with the dentures

    From baseline to 12 months after the intervention

Other Outcomes (1)

  • Costs

    From denture's fabrication to 12 months after the intervention

Study Arms (2)

Single-implant mandibular overdenture

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants 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.

Procedure: Mandibular overdenture

Mandibular complete denture

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Participants 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.

Other: Mandibular complete denture

Interventions

Placement of an implant in the mandibular midline.

Also known as: Dental Implant (Straumann StandardPlus SLActive® RN implant)
Single-implant mandibular overdenture

No intervention.

Also known as: Complete denture
Mandibular complete denture

Eligibility Criteria

Sexall
Healthy VolunteersYes
Age GroupsChild (0-17), Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • To present favorable general health and the need to be rehabilitated with a new set of complete dentures
  • To agree to be randomly assigned to one of the two study groups
  • To be able to comprehend and answer the data collection instruments.

You may not qualify if:

  • Presence of general health conditions that may contraindicate implant surgery (such as uncontrolled type II diabetes mellitus or uncontrolled cardiovascular conditions)
  • Insufficient height and volume in the midline region to receive an implant of at least 3.75mm x 9.0mm
  • Presence of evident signs of cognitive impairment and/or oral conditions requiring additional treatments, such as oral lesions and temporomandibular disorders
  • Inability to attend to the scheduled appointments and follow-up visits
