Effect of prosthetic restoration on masticatory function in patients with shortened dental arches: a multicentre study

“…The post hoc analysis found CA baseline score may be related to CA change score with prosthetic treatment. A similar relationship has been reported in edentulous subjects with complete dentures, wherein subjects with greater perceived impairment prior to treatment showed more improvement with treatment (24). Although the lower CA subgroup showed a moderate CA improvement (9%), the mean CA score was still low after treatment (64%).…”

Predictive Parameters of Oral Health Quality of Life in Complete Mandibular Denture Wearers Stabilized by Mini-Implants: A Two-Year Follow-Up Study

“…The authors showed that evaluating the case severity of edentulousness with an index [ 30 ] or with prognostic indicators [ 31 ] before treatment allowed predicting clinical outcomes when fabricating new complete dentures. Similarly, according to the results of this study, when implant treatment is considered, a chewing test could be implemented to predict the evolution of patients’ OHRQoL.…”

The effect of two different attachments on patient satisfaction in mandibular class II and III ACP ridges with single implant-retained mandibular overdentures

“…Denture related factors include denture retention, stability, occlusion and appearance [26][27][28][29][30][31][32] . Patient related factors include age 29 , case severity, denturesupporting tissue shape 26,33 , and previous denture experience 31 . In the present clinical trial, the patient satisfaction questionnaire 19 used consisted of 11 questions, having 4 different options with score of 1 (maximum satisfaction) to 4 (least satisfaction).…”
