Objectives: Single midline implants in the edentulous mandible can be used to support existing complete dentures to improve patients' satisfaction and masticatory efficiency. The impact on patients' dietary habits and the influence of the loading protocol of the implants was the subject of this study.
Materials And Methods: In this prospective randomized clinical trial, edentulous patients with existing complete dentures in both jaws were treated with a single midline implant in the mandible.
Article Synopsis
- Individuals with hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (hEDS) or hypermobility spectrum disorders (HSD) have a higher likelihood of experiencing temporomandibular disorders (TMDs), which may impact their oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL).
- A study involving 133 women with confirmed hEDS or HSD assessed their OHRQoL using the Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14) and examined factors such as TMD symptoms, general health, and psychological aspects.
- Findings revealed that a significant majority reported TMD symptoms, with orofacial pain greatly affecting OHRQoL, and self-reported bruxism and poor general health were linked to worse outcomes

Background: Oral health is an essential component of a person's general health and well-being. It is influenced by many factors. These include individual aspects such as oral health literacy and oral health behaviour.

Methods: In this multicenter RCT, a total of 158 edentulous patients were initially included and were randomly allocated immediately after placement of a mandibular midline implant to either immediate loading (IL) or to conventional loading (CL) with submerged healing. The assessment of OHRQoL was performed with the 49-item Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP) at baseline and 1, 4, 12, 24, and 60 months after loading.
Objectives: To analyze the effect of implant treatment in edentulous patients rehabilitated with implant-supported fixed complete dentures (IFCDs) or implant overdentures (IODs) on dental patient-reported outcomes (dPROs).
Materials And Methods: In January 2022, Medline, Embase, CINAHL, Cochrane Library, PubMed Central, Web of Science, and ClinicalTrials.gov were screened for prospective clinical studies on completely edentulous patients treated with IFCDs and/or IODs, reporting pre-treatment and follow-up dPROs.
