Abstract

The choice between implant-supported overdentures and conventional complete dentures plays a significant role in patient satisfaction and functional outcomes. Implant-supported overdentures are increasingly used due to their stability, comfort, and improved chewing efficiency. This study aims to evaluate the differences in patient-reported satisfaction and functional outcomes between these two types of prostheses.
A cohort of 150 edentulous patients was evaluated using either implant-supported overdentures or conventional complete dentures. Patients completed a satisfaction questionnaire, and masticatory function was assessed through standardized masticatory performance tests. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and comparative analysis.
Patients with implant-supported overdentures reported significantly higher satisfaction, particularly in comfort, stability, and chewing ability. Masticatory efficiency was also notably better in the implant group. However, conventional dentures showed adequate results in terms of cost and accessibility.
Implant-supported overdentures offer superior satisfaction and functional outcomes compared to conventional complete dentures, making them a preferred option for long-term edentulous rehabilitation.
