Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The rehabilitation procedure of single implant installation and conversion to overdenture will promote greater adaptation and acceptance of patients to the mandibular total rehabilitation, however, this adaptation will be superior in patients not adapted to the conventional mandibular complete denture, which will be evaluated based on satisfaction with the new complete dentures, and the impact of the quality of life on oral health. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The masticatory performance, verified by the objective method of tamises, will be reduced in patients not adapted to mandibular prostheses 3 months after the conversion of the total prosthesis into mandibular overdenture. The quality of life in oral health, measured through OHIP, will have a greater positive impact on individuals not adapted to the mandibular prosthesis, contributing to greater satisfaction with overdenture for the performance of masticatory, phonetics, and social relationships. | — |
