Implant-retained overdentures (IRD) significantly improve denture satisfaction and chewing ability in patients with severely resorbed mandibles compared to complete dentures (CD). IRD offers a more satisfactory solution for denture-related problems.

Area of Science:

  • Dental Prosthetics
  • Implant Dentistry
  • Oral Rehabilitation

Background:

  • Severely resorbed mandibles pose significant challenges for complete denture (CD) wearers.
  • Patients often experience poor denture satisfaction and impaired chewing ability with conventional CDs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the treatment outcomes of implant-retained overdentures (IRD) versus complete dentures (CD).
  • To assess patient-reported outcomes, specifically denture satisfaction and chewing ability, in edentulous patients with mandibular bone resorption.

Main Methods:

  • A multicenter randomized clinical trial involving 151 patients with severely resorbed mandibles.
  • Patients were allocated to either IRD or CD treatment groups.
  • Denture satisfaction and chewing ability were evaluated using questionnaires before treatment and one year post-treatment.

Related Experiment Videos

Main Results:

  • Before treatment, all patients reported dissatisfaction and difficulty chewing.
  • One year after treatment, the IRD group showed high satisfaction, while only one-third of the CD group was satisfied.
  • The IRD group demonstrated significantly better chewing ability compared to the CD group (p < 0.0001).

Conclusions:

  • Implant-retained overdentures provide a more satisfactory solution for patients suffering from severely resorbed mandibles.
  • IRD significantly enhances both denture satisfaction and functional chewing ability compared to conventional complete dentures.
