Masticatory function and bite force of mandibular single-implant overdentures and complete dentures: a randomized crossover control study

Patient‐reported outcome measures of edentulous patients restored with single‐implant mandibular overdentures: A systematic review

“…(Table 5) Two prospective studies confirmed better mastication efficiency after SIMO restoration 38,39 . A crossover RCT observed significantly higher mixing ability, comminuting ability and maximum bite force in SIMO group than in CCD group 24 . However, another parallel‐grouping RCT demonstrated no difference in mixing ability between SIMO and CCD groups 25 .…”

“…Overall, the RCT by Kronstrom et al was assessed as high risk of bias and the RCT by Policastro et al was some concern 19,31 . The rest of 7 RCTs were assessed as low risk of bias 24‐30 . (Table ) Specifically, all 9 RCTs were identified as low risk of bias in randomisation process and selective outcome reports 19,24‐31 .…”

“…The rest of 7 RCTs were assessed as low risk of bias 24‐30 . (Table ) Specifically, all 9 RCTs were identified as low risk of bias in randomisation process and selective outcome reports 19,24‐31 . However, there were 5 RCTs judged as some concern regarding measurement of the outcome 19,26,29‐31 .…”

“…Tables 1 and 2 showed the characteristics of the included RCTs and prospective studies, respectively. Among the 9 included RCTs, 6 RCTs compared SIMO and TIMO and 3 RCTs compared SIMO and CCD 19,24‐31 . Another 8 included prospective studies were on comparison of CCD and SIMO 32‐39 .…”

“…There were 2 prospective studies and 4 RCTs evaluating the masticatory function outcome of SIMO in different ways 24,25,27,28,38,39 . (Table 5) Two prospective studies confirmed better mastication efficiency after SIMO restoration 38,39 .…”
