Study Overview
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate and compare the effects of a mandibular implant-supported overdenture with a mandibular complete denture on electromyographic activity, brain activity, and cognitive performance in edentulous patients. Ten patients who are entirely edentulous and did not wear dentures will be chosen. To assess brain activity and cognitive function, electroencephalograms, the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), and electromyographic examinations of the temporalis and masseter muscles will be performed prior to complete denture construction, one and three months after complete denture construction, and one and three months after implant supported overdenture insertion, respectively.

- •All patients must have sufficient inter arch space.
Exclusion Criteria

Arms & Interventions
Complete denture then complete implant supported overdenture
Intervention: Implant supported overdenture (Other)
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Brain Activity (EEG)
Time Frame: 3 months
An assessment of the patient's brain activity will be done. The waves obtained during all phases of assessment will be analyzed, and the software will separate the alpha waves, which occur in the frequency range of 8-12 Hz, evaluating their amplitude. The mean amplitude (in microvolts) of alpha waves was obtained.
Secondary Outcomes
- Cognitive Function (MMSE)(3 months)
