Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Primary outcome 1: Reduction in the oral health-related quality of life impacts, assessed using the Brazilian version of the OHIP-EDENT questionnaire, which has 19 items which comprise 4 domains: masticatory discomfort (four items), psychological discomfort and disability (five items), social disability (five items), and mouth pain and discomfort (five items). A comparison of this outcome will be made between 4 moments: before the implant installation and 3, 6 and 12 months after overdenture capture.;Primary outcome 2: Increased satisfaction with the prostheses, assessed by means of a questionnaire containing Visual Analogue Scale in relation to the parameters comfort, stability, aesthetics, ability to speak, and ability to chew. A comparison of this outcome will be made between 4 moments: before the implant installation and 3, 6 and 12 months after overdenture capture. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary outcome 2: Maintenance of the peri-implant bone level, measured by means of digital periapical radiographs that will be obtained 1 week after capture of the overdenture and after 6 and 12 months.;Secondary outcome 3: Low incidence of clinical complications and overdentures maintenance events, which will be recorded in the medical records throughout the follow-up period (up to 12 months after intervention).;Secondary outcome 1: Maintenance/non reduction of the implant stability quotient, measured by the Osstell device immediately after implant installation and will be compared with data obtained after 3 and 12 months. | — |
