Two Versus Four Implant-supported Fixed Full-arch Prosthesis

Two Versus Four Implant Supporting Fixed Full-arch Screw-retained Metal Acrylic Hybrid Mandibular Prosthesis.(A Study of Patient Satisfaction)

The aim of this study will be the evaluation of patient satisfaction and oral health-related-quality of life (OHRQoL) of two versus four implants supporting fixed full-arch screw-retained metal acrylic hybrid mandibular prosthesis.

Study Overview

• Status: Completed
• Conditions: Prosthesis Durability
• Intervention / Treatment: Procedure: placement of four dental implants; Device: mandibular full arch prosthesis; Procedure: placement of two dental implants

Detailed Description

• Six completely edentulous patients will be selected for this study from the outpatient clinic of the prosthodontic department
• All patients will be informed about all surgical and prosthodontics procedures that will be done for them. All patients will sign the consent form of the ethical committee in faculty dentistry Mansoura University.

The patients will be divided into 2 groups

1. Control group: will receive implant-supported mandibular fixed metal acrylic prosthesis on 4 implants that were placed according to the "All on four concept".
2. Study group: will receive implant-supported mandibular fixed metal acrylic prosthesis on two implants placed according to "All On two concept".

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Visual analog scale (VAS) questionnaire	Regarding VAS, participants were asked to score their answer according to the amount of satisfaction on a 100mm line (Score zero = no satisfaction at all and score 100 = complete satisfaction). The questions cover several items related to prosthesis such as: retention, stability, comfort, ease of cleaning, ease of speaking, ease of chewing, limited activities due to embarrassment, quality of bolus and appearance	one year

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Quality of Life (Secondary Outcome).	The oral Health impact profile (OHIP-14) questions were utilized to assess OHRQoL. The questions were composed of seven domains	one year
