Comparison of ridge resorption and patient satisfaction in single implant-supported mandibular overdentures with conventional complete dentures: A randomised pilot study.

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).
