Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Expected primary outcome: Oral health related quality of life impacts were measured using the Brazilian version of the Oral Health Impact Profile for edentulous subjects (Brazilian OHIP-EDENT) , considering the overall scale and its four different scale domains: masticatory discomfort and disability (four items), (2) psychological discomfort and disability (five items), social disability (five items) and oral pain and discomfort (five items).;Observed primary outcomes: Oral health-related quality of life impacts: there were no differences in the comparison of the OHIP-Edent scores (overall scale and specific domains) between the simplified group and the traditional group (p=0.395) | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Expected secondary outcomes: Number of treatment sessions and maintenance sessions, measured by the information described on the patients' files.;Observed secondary outcomes: The number of clinical appointments until the delivery of the dentures was lower (p=0.001) for the simplified group (4.18) compared to the traditional group (5.0). No significant differences between groups using the FAD rating scale (p=0.373) and the Kapur index scores (p=0.788). | — |
