Study population: Patients who had received surgical removal of pathological jaw lesions in a university teaching hospital, Queen Mary Hospital, and planned to receive implant-supported reconstruction in a dental teaching hospital, Prince Philip Dental Hospital, Hong Kong, China were recruited

Brief summary: Objective: The aim of this prospective study was to investigate the patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) of implant-supported prostheses (ISP) among patients who had excised pathological jaw lesions.

Material and Methods: Patients who met the inclusion/exclusion criteria in a dental teaching hospital were recruited. Data pertaining to sociodemographic factors, conditions requiring surgery, surgical procedures and related complications, and types of ISP were collected. Patients' expectation and satisfaction to the ISP including oral health, self-perceived appearance, speech, chewing ability, oral comfort and ease of cleaning were assessed using the visual analogue scale (VAS, 0-100) and global transitional scale/judgement (Likert scale). Data were analysed using t-test and chi-square tests at the significance level α=0.05.


Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

* Subjects who have received surgical removal of pathological jaw lesions in Queen Mary Hospital
* Subjects who plan to receive implant-supported prostheses in Prince Philip Dental Hospital

Exclusion Criteria:

* Subjects with debilitating illnesses or complicating medical conditions
* Subjects who under age of 18 or unable to give consent
* Subjects with uncontrolled caries and periodontal disease

Primary outcomes:
measure: Patient expectation of implant-supported prosthesis
timeFrame: Before receive implant-supported prosthesis (baseline)
measure: Patient satisfaction of implant-supported prosthesis in 3-point Likert transition scale
timeFrame: Before (baseline) and 3 months post-insertion of implant-supported prosthesis
measure: Patient satisfaction of implant-supported prosthesis in 0-100 visual analogue scale
timeFrame: 3 months post-insertion of implant-supported prosthesis
measure: Patient satisfaction of implant-supported prosthesis in 5-point Likert scale
timeFrame: 3 months post-insertion of implant-supported prosthesis
