DESIGN: A multi-centre randomised controlled study in 14 dental schools. This report is an interim analysis at 3 years. INTERVENTION: @entity1 were allocated to either the Removable dental prosthesis group (RPD)-109 @entity1 or the no prosthesis group (SDA) -106 @entity1 . @entity1 had to be older than 35 years with no molars in the study jaw. Follow-up visits were scheduled at 4 to 8 wks (baseline), at 6 months, and at 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 yrs after treatment. OUTCOME MEASURE: Time to loss of first tooth following intervention or no intervention. RESULTS: 81 @entity1 received a @entity17558 and 69 @entity1 received no treatment in the end. This is a reduction of 26% and 35% respectively from the time when they were randomised to the two groups. @entity2524 occurred in 13 of the @entity17558 group (16% of those who received the @entity17558 , 12% of those allocated to the group at the start) with 5 of these being in the study jaw and 8 in the opposing jaw. @entity2524 occurred in 9 of the SDA group (13% of those who received SDA, 9% of those who were allocated to the group at the start) with 5 in the study jaw and 4 in the opposing jaw. The respective Kaplan-Meier survival rates at 38 months were 0.83 (95% CI: 0.74-0.91) in the @entity17558 group and 0.86 (95% CI: 0.78-0.95) in the SDA group. CONCLUSIONS: The difference in @entity2524 at three years between @entity1 treated with @entity17558 and those not treated with @entity17558 was not significant.
