Clinical Trial Summary

The objective of this explanatory mixed methods study is to compare a novel attachment system (Novaloc) to a traditional alternative (Locator) for single implants in the mandible of edentate elders. The investigators will carry out a randomized cross-over clinical trial comparing Novaloc attachments to Locators for single-implant mandibular overdentures in edentate elders. Participants will be followed for three months with each attachment type; patient-based, clinical and economic outcomes will be gathered. A sample of 26 participants is estimated to be required to detect clinically relevant differences in terms of the primary outcome (patient ratings of general satisfaction). Participants will choose which attachment they wish to keep, then be interviewed about their experiences and preferences with a single implant prosthesis and with the 2 attachments. Data from the quantitative and qualitative assessments will be integrated through a mixed-methods explanatory strategy. A last quantitative assessment will take place after 12 months with preferred attachment; this latter assessment will enable the observation of attachments' long-term wear and maintenance events.

Device:
Novaloc
Attachment composed by a polyetheretherketone (PEEK) capsule and carbon-coated abutment. The yellow (medium) retentive component will be used
Locator
Traditional cylindrical attachment (Locator system) with pink (medium) retentive components

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Other Qualitative assessment Qualitative assessment (descriptive approach based on transcribed interviews) regarding: a) patients' reasons for choosing one attachment system; b) their perceptions of the advantages and disadvantages of each attachment; and c) their experience of living with a single implant retention for their mandibular overdenture 6 months
Primary Denture satisfaction To be assessed by specific questionnaires 18 months
Secondary Oral health-related quality of life To be assessed by the OHIP-EDENT (Oral Health Impact Profile, shortened version for edentulous subjects) questionnaire 18 months
Secondary Overdenture rotation Two questions regarding perceived rotation, as done by Kimoto et al. (Clin Oral Implants Res 2009;20:838-43) 18 months
Secondary Success/survival rate Success/survival rate of prostheses and implants (yes/no) 18 months
Secondary Plaque Index Presence of plaque according to Silness & Loe (Acta Odont Scand 1963;21:533-51) (ordinal scale ranging from 0 to 3) 18 months
Secondary Presence of calculus Presence of calculus according to Ramfjord (J Periodontol 1967;38:602-10) (ordinal scale ranging from 0 to 3) 18 months
Secondary Peri-implant probing depth Depth of peri-implant pockets (in mm) 18 months
Secondary Bleeding on probing Bleeding on probing around implant (yes/no) 18 months
Secondary Mucosal inflammation Signs of swelling or inflammation of the peri-implant-mucosa (yes/no, plus categorical evaluation - type of pathological change) 18 months
Secondary Treatment costs Specific forms quantifying costs involved with cost of labor, materials, radiographs, medications, patient's time and transportation expenses 18 months
