Patient Satisfaction With Different Numbers of Implants

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
the goal of this randomized controlled trial aimed to assess patient satisfaction for completely edentulous patients with implant overdenture retained by ball attachment over a single symphyseal , or four interforaminal implants when compared to two interforaminal ones

Detailed Description
-----------------
48 edentulous patients were recruited and randomized to receive either 1,2 or 4 implants for a mandibular overdenture,3 months later implants were uncovered, and ball attachments were torqued, and all overdentures were picked up ,patient satisfaction questionnaires were recorded for all patients 2 weeks after pickup 3 months ,6 months, 9 months and 1year.

Primary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| patient satisfaction for masticatory ability, mental life comfortability with dentures | A translated into Arabic form of patient satisfaction questionnaire to match the language and environmental background of the patients was answered by all subjects, Each response was given a score range from 0 to 4 where zero represents the best result . Questionnaire was divided into three categories questions, the first section was a direct questions to the patient answered by one of some choices, and each choice had a number which will be summed up and giving a score, The second section was a visual answered question; in which patient chose from best to worst on a given scale. The marked point will be translated into a number from zero (the best) to ten (the worst). The third section was a YES/ NO questions, answered shortly by the patient in the terms of yes or No. A translated into Arabic form of patient satisfaction questionnaire to match the language and environmental background of the patients was answered by all subjects | one year |
