About this trial

Full arch implant-supported fixed dental prosthesis is widely accepted as a treatment modality for edentulous patients, presenting high long-term implant survival rates, although further research is necessary to evaluate patient satisfaction on a longer term and the psycho-social impact of this treatment on the daily life and functioning of patients. Patient-related outcome measures evaluated through oral health-related quality of life (OHRQol) parameters, patient satisfaction and patient preference allows to evaluate the impact of the prosthodontic needs.

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Full Arch Implant Surgery

    Procedure/Surgery

    A surgical and prosthetic treatment involving the placement of 4, 6 or 8 dental implants in the edentulous maxilla or mandible, potentially preceded by sinus augmentation if needed.

  • Full arch prosthesis

    Device

    This intervention includes the full surgical and prosthetic treatment for edentulous patients undergoing full-arch implant-supported rehabilitation. The treatment consists of two main phases: Immediate implant placement with provisional prosthesis: A surgical procedure is performed for the placement of 4, 6, or 8 implants per arch (maxilla or mandible), with or without sinus augmentation depending on the case. On the same day, a screw-retained acrylic provisional prosthesis is delivered, allowing immediate functional and aesthetic rehabilitation. Definitive prosthesis delivery: After a healing period of approximately 3 to 6 months, once osseointegration and soft tissue stabilization are confirmed, a definitive screw-retained prosthesis is fabricated and delivered. Definitive prostheses may be manufactured from monolithic zirconia, veneered zirconia, or hybrid materials depending on the case. Both prosthetic phases are part of a standardized treatment protocol performed under control.
