Maxillary and mandibular overdentures retained by two unsplinted narrow-diameter titanium-zirconium implants - A clinical pilot study. Clin Oral Implants Res 2024. [PMID: 38822688 DOI: 10.1111/clr.14303] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/07/2024] [Revised: 04/22/2024] [Accepted: 05/14/2024] [Indexed: 06/03/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the survival rates and marginal bone loss of narrow-diameter titanium-zirconium implants supporting complete maxillary and mandibular overdentures up to 3 years after loading. MATERIALS AND METHODS Ten completely edentulous patients who were dissatisfied with their complete dentures were enrolled. Two narrow-diameter implants were placed in the canine region of the maxilla and mandible. After second-stage surgery, implant-supported overdentures (palatal-free) attached by parallel alignable stud-attachments were placed. Patients were followed periodically for up to 36 months. Standardized radiographs were taken at baseline, 12 and 36 months to analyze mean marginal bone level changes around the implants. RESULTS The Kaplan-Meier survival rates were 100% for mandibular and 68.0% (SE ± 10.9%) for maxillary implants at 36 months (p = .008). Six maxillary implants failed after loading; no mandibular implants were lost. Five implants failed due to loss of osseointegration. One implant fractured. The mean marginal bone level changes around the analyzed implants (n = 28, 9 patients) were -0.71 ± 0.82 mm in the mandible and -2.08 ± 1.52 mm in the maxilla at the 36-month follow-up. The difference in marginal bone level changes between the maxilla and mandible was significant (p = .019) at the 12- and 36-month follow-ups. CONCLUSION Two narrow-diameter titanium-zirconium implants with stud-attachments showed a highly satisfactory outcome in the mandible. The maxillary implants showed a high failure rate and significantly more bone loss over time than the mandibular implants. The minimal concept of two implants and an overdenture should be limited to the edentulous mandible.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this multi-center pilot study was to assess the viability and feasibility of a novel treatment concept - the canine-positioned single implant mandibular overdenture (c-SIMO), with the single implant placed on the patient's preferred chewing side instead of the midline. MATERIALS AND METHODS Participants received a single implant in the canine region of their preferred chewing side, based on an Asymmetry Index observed during mastication. The pre-existing mandibular denture was transformed into a c-SIMO on a spherical attachment. The primary outcome was oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL), measured with GOHAI and OHIP-EDENT. Secondary outcomes included denture satisfaction index (DSI), chewing efficiency (CE), maximum bite force (MBF), implant survival and success, and prosthetic maintenance. Data analysis included descriptive statistics and bivariate comparison tests. RESULTS Fifteen participants received the c-SIMO treatment (mean age: 69.9 ± 7.0). Implant success and survival rates were 100% at 1 year. Patient-reported outcome measures improved significantly compared to pre-treatment values (OHIP-EDENT: p = 0.001; DSI: p = 0.001; GOHAI: p = 0.002). Masticatory outcomes also improved significantly (CE: p = 0.001; overall MBF: p = 0.005). Post-implant, MBF was significantly higher in the ipsilateral side compared to the contralateral side at 2 weeks (p = 0.019) and 3 months (p = 0.015), but no longer at T3 (p = 0.730). Common prosthodontic events included denture base adjustments (n = 17) and matrix activation (n = 9). CONCLUSIONS This pilot study concludes that c-SIMO is a promising treatment option, and a potential alternative to the single midline implant overdenture. CLINICAL RELEVANCE The novel treatment concept of a canine-positioned single implant mandibular overdenture could be a viable treatment alternative to the midline positioning.

J Prosthodont 2024.

Abstract
This report of four clinical cases aims to illustrate the use of a lateral implant as a solution for implant overdentures in the mandible in different clinical situations. The first two cases describe the clinical situations of patients wearing two-implant mandibular overdentures until the failure of one of the implants, one due to implant loss and the other due to a fracture of an abutment screw, and how the conditions were managed. The third case illustrates the placement of a single implant to retain an overdenture, where a midline implant, as originally planned, was not feasible due to anatomic reasons. The final case describes the use of a lateral implant to support and retain a single-implant mandibular overdenture. The four cases demonstrate that a single lateral implant can be utilized as sole retention in cases of a failing contra-lateral implant and as an alternative to a single implant in the midline.

Preemptive effects of etoricoxib, acetaminophen, nimesulide, and ibuprofen on postoperative pain management after single-implant surgery: A randomized clinical trial. Clin Oral Implants Res 2023; 34:1299-1308. [PMID: 37638406 DOI: 10.1111/clr.14170] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/28/2022] [Revised: 08/03/2023] [Accepted: 08/13/2023] [Indexed: 08/29/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND There is insufficient evidence for pain control in preemptive analgesia (PA) after dental implant surgery, signaling the need for further studies. The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of PA in single dental implant surgeries (SDIS), seeking to identify among the etoricoxib (ETOR), ibuprofen (IBU), nimesulide (NIME), and acetaminophen (ACETA)], which one has the higher efficacy effectiveness in relieving postoperative pain and reducing the use of rescue medication compared to placebo. METHODS In this triple-blind, parallel, randomized controlled clinical trial, 135 individuals with a mean age of 57.6 years (±11.7), both genders, were randomly divided into five groups according to the test drug: I-PLACEBO; II-IBU (600 mg); III-NIME (100 mg); IV-ACETA (750 mg); and V-ETOR (90 mg). The occurrence, duration, and intensity of pain were analyzed using the Chi-square, Fisher's exact and ANOVA tests, and the generalized estimating equation models, when appropriate. RESULTS Test drugs provided a reduction in postoperative pain scores and lower use of rescue medication when compared to placebo. The ETOR group presented significantly lower pain scores, when compared to other active treatments. The IBU group showed the highest mean number of rescue medication used. CONCLUSIONS All test drugs provided a beneficial preemptive effect demonstrated by the reduced postoperative pain and reduced use of rescue medication. The ETOR group presented lower pain scores, and the IBU group showed the highest mean number of rescue medication used among the test groups.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To explore the perspectives and experiences of edentate individuals in regard to the immediate-loading protocol of an implant-supported overdenture. METHODS A qualitative approach and interpretive description methodology was used. Seventeen edentate individuals (mean age: 61.9 ± 6.6 years) who received implant-supported overdentures through an immediate-loading protocol participated. Audio-recorded, semi-structured, in-depth interviews, each with a 60-90-minute duration, were conducted by two trained interviewers. The interview guide was developed based on Perneger's Detailed Model. Qualitative data were analyzed using a thematic approach including interview debriefing, transcript coding, data display, inductive thematic analysis, and interpretation. RESULTS Three main themes emerged from the interviews: patient awareness and engagement with treatment, experience-shaped expectations, and immediate gratification. All patients expressed satisfaction with the treatment. Providing detailed information, good communication, and accessibility of the dental care provider had a significant impact on patient satisfaction with prosthetic care. Patients highlighted that the high cost of implant therapy was the major barrier to receiving this treatment in the private sector and perceived dental insurance coverage as a facilitator of this process. CONCLUSIONS Study findings conclude that patient awareness about immediate-loading protocol improved their treatment engagement, and patient satisfaction with the treatment outcomes was higher than anticipated. The satisfaction was primarily related to prosthesis stability, receiving the prosthesis the same day, and low cost of treatment. Patients' positive experience and satisfaction with the immediate-loading protocol indicate that this treatment modality should be considered in treatment planning for edentate individuals. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE The perceptions and experiences of edentulous patients gathered in this study highlight their satisfaction with immediate loading for implant-supported overdentures. This therapeutic modality can be considered a viable option in treatment planning for edentulous individuals.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed to assess patients' expected burdens before treatment and their perceived burdens after the surgical and prosthodontic procedures of mandibular overdenture treatment and to evaluate factors influencing patients' perceptions. METHODS Data were collected from 47 participants enrolled in a randomized clinical trial comparing mandibular overdentures retained by one or two implants. A 20-item questionnaire measured on a four-point Likert scale covering the surgical and prosthetic treatment procedures was used to assess the patients' perception of the procedural burdens before (expected burdens) and immediately after (experienced burdens) each procedure. Operators' perceptions of intercurrences associated with the procedures were also assessed as an independent variable. RESULTS Low levels of perceived burdens were observed both before and after treatment. The mean overall scores of 1.65 ± 0.46 and 1.53 ± 0.33 for expected and experienced burdens, respectively, indicated that most items ranged between "not burdensome at all" and "somewhat burdensome." Significant differences between expected and experienced burdens were found for eight items (p < 0.001). Considering the treatment stages, expected burdens scored higher in the pre-surgical, surgical, and prosthetic stages and lower in the post-surgical phase than experienced burdens. Overall, the experienced burdens were significantly affected by the expected burdens (p < 0.001) and operator's perceived burdens (p = 0.045). CONCLUSIONS Treatments were associated with low levels of perceived burdens related to surgical and prosthodontic procedures and were highly correlated with the expected burdens before treatment. However, patients tend to overestimate the expected burdens before treatment, especially for surgical procedures.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Assessment of the subjective experiences of individuals with maxillary anterior (ie, the upper front region of the mouth) single-tooth implants is limited mainly to quantitative measurements of satisfaction with appearance. Interestingly, there is unexplained variability in the relationship between satisfaction and appearance. OBJECTIVE This qualitative study protocol aims to explore and better understand the satisfaction with appearance and function in a Canadian population with maxillary anterior single-tooth implants treated at a postgraduate university clinic. Thus, we aim to obtain diversity among participants relating to the identification of esthetically pleasing and displeasing cases from a clinician perspective. METHODS A qualitative research design using interpretative phenomenology analysis (IPA) will provide an adaptable inductive research approach. The participants will be recruited, and consent documents, photographs, digital intraoral scans, and self-administered questionnaire responses will be obtained from them. The transcribed verbatim data from audio-recorded, in-depth, semistructured, one-to-one interviews of the participants will be managed, coded, and analyzed thematically with computer-assisted qualitative data analysis software. The IPA will consider the COnsolidated criteria for REporting Qualitative (COREQ) guidelines when applicable. RESULTS For the qualitative interview, we plan to include at least eight patients to conduct up to 1.5 hours of open-ended interviews with each participant aided by an interview guide. Ethical approval was granted by the University of British Columbia Behavioral Research Ethics Board (H19-00107) in May 2019. Two American dental foundations funded this study. CONCLUSIONS The analysis in this study will elucidate the aspects (including their value) that influence participant satisfaction at different dental implant treatment stages. This will be the first qualitative study on this group of the population to explore and obtain a better understanding of their satisfaction with appearance and function, as well as any other patient-reported outcome measures that could be identified.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This critical review is aimed to investigate the current status of qualitative research in dental implant research and to explore the quality of available information. MATERIAL AND METHODS A systematic search was done on the journal databases to identify dental implant research articles that used qualitative methodology during 2006 and 2020. The resulting articles were appraised against the checklist offered by the Critical Appraisal Skills programme (CASP) tool. Also, the theories evolved from the research were reviewed to understand the value of this methodology in dental implant research. RESULTS Twenty-five (25) articles out of the 8,421 original results were identified as using qualitative methodology. The researchers have sought to identify the views of patients about tooth loss, dental implants, and the information they receive from dental professionals, and views of the dentists about dental implant practice. The review found that there were few inconsistencies in the quality of such research especially the qualitative data analysis. CONCLUSIONS The quantity of qualitative research in dental implants remains low; however, the quality has improved in the past two decades. Despite these improvements, there is still a lack of research in understanding both patients' and dentists' views on dental implant procedures and management.

Abstract
Purpose To compare ridge resorption (RR) and patient satisfaction in single implant-supported mandibular overdentures (SIMO) with conventional complete dentures (CCD) over a period of one year. Material and methods This prospective, randomized trial enrolled 30 completely edentulous participants following inclusion and exclusion criteria. The study was completed by 28 participants. Rehabilitation of 14 participants was done by using SIMO (group I) and CCD (group C) each according to randomization chart. For both the groups, RR was computed in millimeters from residual ridge height measured by using orthopantogram at 6 months (T1), 9 months (T2), and 12 months (T3) at 3 anatomic locations: maxillary posterior (L1), maxillary anterior (L2), and mandibular posterior (L3). Patient satisfaction was evaluated by using Geriatric Oral Health Assessment Index Hindi version (GOHAI-Hi) at 1week and 12 months after denture delivery. Results At 12 months, minimum RR was observed at L2 of group I (0.62 ± 0.20 mm) and maximum RR was observed at L3 of group C (1.04 ± 0.15 mm). Comparison of ridge resorption between group I and group C was statistically significant at T3 (P = .001 for L1, P = .006 for L2, and P = .028 for L3). At T3, in group I, RR was more at L3 than L2 region (P = .011) and L1 region (P = .015). Statistically significant difference of GOHAI-Hi scores was observed between group I and group C at end of 12 months (P = .003). Conclusions SIMO cause less RR and higher patient satisfaction as compared to CCD and can be recommended with higher predictability of success than CCD.

Abstract
This review aims to identify and summarise the findings of published qualitative studies relating to patients' experiences of dental implant surgery, by means of textual narrative synthesis. A comprehensive two-stage electronic and manual search of the literature identified relevant qualitative studies up to January 2020. Included primary studies (n = 15) used qualitative research methods including interviews and focus groups to investigate patients' experiences of dental implant treatment. They looked at the experience of tooth loss, the decision making process, the pre-implant experience, motivating factors and barriers for treatment and the post-implant experience with the prosthesis. There is a deficiency in the exploration of the patients' intraoperative dental surgical experience and the adjunctive effects of conscious sedation. The included studies give considerable insight into patients' experiences of the dental implant journey, which in the main, had overall positive consensus. The limited information available regarding patients' experience of the intra operative dental implant surgery with or without conscious sedation warrants further investigation. This information is a fundamental step to understanding the patients' preferences, needs and values and ultimately enhancing the quality of patient care.
