“…Each parameter of trial methodological quality was graded as ‘adequate’, ‘inadequate’, ‘unclear’ or ‘not applicable’ (de Souza et al . ). Studies were defined as low risk of bias if the five criteria listed above were clearly met in the study.…”

Afrashtehfar KI, Ahmadi M, Emami E, Abi-Nader S, Tamimi F. Failure of single-unit restorations on root filled posterior teeth: a systematic review. International Endodontic Journal, 50, 951-966, 2017. This systematic review investigated the failure rate of conventional single-unit restorations in root filled posterior permanent teeth. Two reviewers independently applied eligibility criteria, extracted data and assessed the quality of the evidence of each included study according to the Cochrane Collaboration's procedures for randomized control trials (RCTs) and the STROBE criteria for observational studies. The MEDLINE (via Ovid), EMBASE (via Ovid), Cochrane Oral Health Group Trials Register and CENTRAL (via Cochrane Library) databases were searched electronically (January 1993 to week 1, February 2015). This was complemented by an additional hand search of selected journals and the references of relevant studies. Clinical studies published on root filled single-unit restorative treatments with a mean follow-up period of at least 3 years were selected. The outcome measured was clinical or radiological failure. Overall, the four RCTs and the single observational study included were of low and high quality, respectively. Therefore, a meta-analysis was not possible. The pooled mean failure rates were reported according to the type of treatment and remaining coronal tooth structure. The current evidence suggested that the failure rates of the treatments may depend on the amount of remaining tooth structure and type of treatment. Postretained crowns were associated with the most favourable outcome in teeth with one to two remaining coronal tooth wall(s), whereas post-free crowns were superior when greater tooth structure was available. Restorations in teeth without ferrules had such a high rate of failure that other treatment options should be considered.

“…This result is aligned with the previous research, which suggests that chewing ability is the most important factor in denture satisfaction. Over the last decade, there has been an emphasis on the use of patient‐based measures and outcomes in prosthodontics research . However, the majority of the published studies examined patient satisfaction with complete dentures, among patients with a range of experience and wearing dentures of various ages, but not in the cohort of experienced denture wearers with old dentures.…”

“…In recent years there has been a shift to patient‐based measures, as better methods for measuring patient‐centered outcomes have been developed . Moreover, according to a recent systematic review, patient satisfaction has been used as the primary outcome for the majority of removable prosthodontic clinical trials . Furthermore, use of patient satisfaction as an outcome can facilitate the transfer of knowledge from research to clinical use; however, there is still no valid guideline for clinicians on the use of expert‐ and patient‐based measures as prognostic tools for estimation of patient satisfaction with dentures .…”

“…Main PRO used for edentulous patients include6: (1) satisfaction with received prostheses, often reported according to items regarding retention, esthetics, and oral hygiene7; (2) masticatory ability8; and (3) OHRQoL, which can provide a broader appraisal of the impact of oral health on function and well-being 9. Those PRO are generally evaluated by questionnaires whose items are answered according to visual analogue scales (VAS)78 or ordinal/Likert scales 9.…”

“…This might be critical for edentulous patients, who tend to be older and frequently present low instructional levels 17. Such characteristics can influence the performance of computer-based forms; moreover, previous studies about the electronic application of PRO enrolled younger and more instructed participants,111213141516 in contrast to randomized trials on the treatment for edentulism 6…”

PURPOSEThe aim of this study was to determine whether two methods of documentation, print and electronic forms, for the assessment of patient-reported outcomes (PRO) in complete denture wearers provide comparable results. The study also quantified the time needed for filling the forms by each method.MATERIALS AND METHODSThirty participants enrolled in a university clinic answered two forms (a questionnaire for denture satisfaction and OHIP-EDENT). They provided answers with two application methods in a random order, with a one-month interval between them: (1) electronic forms on a tablet computer; and (2) print forms. The methods were compared in terms of mean results, correlation/agreement, internal consistency, and spent time.RESULTSMean results for both methods were similar for each denture satisfaction item (100-mm VAS) and OHIP-EDENT summary score. Both questionnaires presented good internal consistency regardless of the application method (Cronbach's α=0.86 or higher). Correlation and agreement between the methods regarding specific items was at least moderate for the majority of cases. Mean time for the electronic and print forms were 9.2 and 8.5 minutes, respectively (paired t test, P=.06, non-significant).CONCLUSIONThe electronic method is comparable to print forms for the assessment of important PRO of prosthetic treatment for edentulism, considering the results and time needed. Findings suggest the viability of replacing print forms with a tablet for applying the tested inventories in clinical trials.
