Masticatory Efficiency, Bite Force, and Patient-Reported Outcomes in Patients Rehabilitated With Complete and Partial Dentures Supported by Teeth, Mini-Implants, or Conventional Implants

Sponsor: University of Zagreb

Summary

This study aims to evaluate masticatory efficiency, bite force, and patient-reported outcomes in edentulous and partially edentulous patients rehabilitated with different removable prosthodontic treatment modalities. The study includes both cross-sectional and longitudinal components. The cross-sectional component will compare patients wearing conventional complete dentures, conventional removable partial dentures, mini-implant-retained overdentures, conventional implant-retained overdentures, and implant-assisted removable partial dentures. The longitudinal component will assess changes in masticatory performance, bite force, and patient-reported outcomes following prosthodontic rehabilitation and adaptation over time. The study seeks to determine whether implant-assisted treatment options provide superior functional outcomes, oral health-related quality of life, and patient satisfaction compared with conventional removable prostheses.
