Background: Edentulism is a physical disability that adversely influences a person’s overall well-being, affecting essential functions like chewing, speech and facial aesthetics, leading to reduced self-confidence. Implant-supported overdentures are now a widely used rehabilitation option owing to the increasing awareness of dental implant treatments. This study aimed to evaluate and compare the satisfaction levels of patients with single versus two implant-supported mandibular overdentures in terms of retention, maintenance of hygiene, esthetics, speech, comfort, stability, mastication and overall quality of life.
Material and Methods: This study was conducted in the Department of Prosthodontics and Crown & Bridge at Index Institute of Dental Sciences, Indore. Written informed consent was obtained. The study subjects were patients rehabilitated with single as well as two implant-supported mandibular overdentures (MOs) (n=30 in each group). A questionnaire was designed and validated by experts in both English and Hindi and patients were made to fill out the questionnaire. Chi-square test was used to compare responses between the groups.
Results: Both groups demonstrated similar patient satisfaction levels except satisfaction in retention and denture stability which was higher in two implant-supported MO (p<0.05). Moreover, patient satisfaction in retention was higher with bar-supported two implant MO and in regards to ease of cleaning, satisfaction was rated higher with single implant-supported MO.
Conclusion: Both treatment approaches showed satisfactory patient outcomes, suggesting that a single-implant overdenture could serve as a practical and affordable option for individuals with financial limitations or anatomical restrictions.
