Patient- and Clinician-Reported Outcomes and the Outcome Measures in Studies Reporting on Rehabilitation of the Edentulous Maxilla With Implant-Supported Fixed Prosthesis Using Short, Standard-Length and/or Zygomatic Implants: A Systematic Review of Clinical Studies Published in the Last 10 Years.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To identify patient-reported outcomes (PROs), clinician-reported outcomes (ClinROs) and patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) in studies evaluating the rehabilitation of the edentulous maxilla with implant-supported fixed prosthesis using short and/or standard-length and/or zygomatic implants.

Materials and methods

A systematic search was conducted in MEDLINE/PubMed, EMBASE, Scopus, Web of Science, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and National Clinical Trial Register for articles published between January 1, 2014, and March 24, 2024. Studies reporting both PROMs and ClinROs related to implant therapy in patients with fully edentulous maxillae were eligible for inclusion. Study characteristics, PROMs, and ClinROs were extracted from each article.
