Filter by:This study is a randomized clinical trial comparing the conventional method of recording occlusal vertical dimension using Willis gauge from the base of the nose to the base of the chin with the other method using vernier caliper for the length of the index finger to access the satisfaction level of edentulous patients acquiring complete dentures.
The aim of the present project is to evaluate functional, biological and technical variables, as well as quality of life and satisfaction as indicators of long-term clinical performance of single prostheses on short implants in the posterior region with a 10-year prospective follow-up. This proposal refers to a clinical research project with a 10-year follow-up of single crowns on short implants (6 mm) in the posterior region of the maxilla and mandible. The cohort has started in 2010 through a project funded by the International Team for Implantology. The main clinical results with a 4-year follow-up showed the influence of biomechanical factors (implant/crown ratio) on short-term treatment success and increased risk over time. The sample will consist of participants from the cohort of the research project established in 2010, who received a single crown on a short implant (6-mm Standard Plus Wide Neck SLA) in the posterior region of the maxilla or mandible according to eligibility criteria and standardized clinical procedures. Data will be collected by clinical and image exams, questionnaires (for sleep bruxism, satisfaction and quality of life), recording of maximum occlusal force, measurement of perimplant bone changes, and calculation of the clinical crown-implant ratio. Data will be analyzed by descriptive and inferential statistics with survival analysis and multivariable models, if assumptions are met, at the significance level of 0.05.
The purpose of the multi centre study is to evaluate an intervention, which means that patients undergoing radiotherapy for head and neck cancer will receive fixed dentures in accordance with the Public Health Care fee system with regard to well-being and oral health related quality of life. Hypotheses: the intervention will improve oral health related quality of life, general wellbeing, and nutrition in patients treated by radiotherapy, with or without combination of chemotherapy or surgery against head and neck cancer.
This study aims to compare how a single cap best fit on a tooth that is fabricated with digital and conventional impression techniques.
The objective of this study was to compare the 5-year survival and clinical behavior of single posterior ceramic crowns made with pressable ceramic on zirconia or on a metal framework. If failures occurred, the further aim of the study was to delineate the factors contributing to the failure. The null hypothesis stated that the survival of zirconia-based restorations would be no worse that those made with metal-based material.
