Expectation and Satisfaction of Implant Rehab After Jaw Surgery

Completed
Conditions
Missing Teeth
Interventions
Other: Implant support prostheses
Registration Number
NCT04873635
Lead Sponsor
The University of Hong Kong
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.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Patient expectation of implant-supported prosthesisBefore receive implant-supported prosthesis (baseline)

Visual analogue scale 0-100 which 0 is "No expectation" and 100 is "High expectation"

Assess general satisfaction, appearance, speech, chewing hard/soft/fibrous foods, comfort, cleaning, occlusion, stability and in comparison to natural teeth

Patient satisfaction of implant-supported prosthesis in 5-point Likert scale3 months post-insertion of implant-supported prosthesis

Assess

1. Feeling of health of own teeth, lips, jaw and mouth Global transition scales: Very good, Good, Fair, Poor, Very Poor

2: Extent of oral health affecting overall life Global transition scales: Very much, A lot, Some, Very little, Not at all

Patient satisfaction of implant-supported prosthesis in 3-point Likert transition scaleBefore (baseline) and 3 months post-insertion of implant-supported prosthesis

Assess changes in oral condition, appearance, speech, chewing hard/soft/fibrous foods, oral comfort and cleaning following jaw surgery and oral rehabilitation

Global transition judgements: Better, No difference, Worse

Patient satisfaction of implant-supported prosthesis in 0-100 visual analogue scale3 months post-insertion of implant-supported prosthesis

Visual analogue scale 0-100 which 0 is totally unsatisfied and 100 is totally satisfied

Assess oral health, appearance, speech, chewing hard/soft/fibrous foods, comfort, cleaning, occlusion, and the ability to chew and bite
