Patient Satisfaction and OHRQoL In Removable Versus Fixed Implant Prostheses
Egypt19 participantsStarted 2017-11-01
Plain-language summary
Objectives to evaluate the oral health-related quality of life and patient satisfaction in completely edentulous patients, when restored by maxillary and mandibular fixed (screw-retained) or removable telescopic retained implant supported prosthesis. 19 patients were randomized to receive either a fixed or a removable maxillary and mandibular full arch implant prosthesis. They were then asked to answer the OHIP-14 and a patient satisfaction questionnaire at 2 weeks, 3, 6 and 12 months post-prosthetic insertion.

Inclusion criteria
. Completely edentulous male patients with an age range from 40- 70 years.
. Patients with a HbA1c equal to or less than 7
. All patients should have normal maxillo-mandibular relationship (Angle class I).
. Patients should have maxillary and mandibular ridges at least 7mm in width and 13 mm in height in the interforaminal areas and in the esthetic zones (premolar to premolar regions), respectively. This accommodated a pre-planned implant size of 3.7mm x 10 or 11mm.
. The maxillary and mandibular ridges should be covered by keratinized attached mucosa at least 5mm in width.
. An interarch space between the edentulous maxillary and mandibular ridges should not be less than 22 mm to accommodate the planned maxillary and mandibular implant-supported prostheses. This was confirmed by mounted diagnostic casts.
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
