Long-Term Outcomes of Single-Implant Mandibular Overdentures: A 8-10 Year Prospective Study Across Two Cohorts.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectivesThis study aimed to evaluate the long-term outcomes of two prospective cohorts of edentulous individuals treated with single implant mandibular overdentures (SIMO) opposed by a conventional maxillary complete denture. MATERIAL AND
methodsA total of 74 participants, treated between 2013 and 2016 at the School of Dentistry of the Federal University of Goiás, Brazil, were included. A single midline implant was placed in the edentulous mandible; 93.2% of implants were immediately loaded, and outcomes were followed for 8-10 years. Data collected included dental patient-reported outcomes (dPROs), implant survival, implant stability, peri-implant health, and incidence of prosthodontic events. The frequency of the prosthetic maintenance and complication events was reported in terms of cumulative incidence. Within-group longitudinal changes were tested using paired comparison tests. A significance level of p < 0.05 was used for statistical inferences.
resultsSignificant improvements in OHIP-Edent and satisfaction scores were observed immediately post-treatment and maintained throughout the follow-up period, confirming a significant positive effect of SIMO on these outcomes (p < 0.001). The overall implant survival rate was 95.6%. Peri-implant outcomes showed favorable health status, with mild bone loss observed (-1.55 ± 1.09 mm at the 8-10-year follow-up). Prosthetic complications and the need for recall visits for maintenance were common. The most frequent prosthetic complications were matrix replacement (43.3%) and overdenture fracture (12.4%).
conclusionsSIMO demonstrated sustained long-term effectiveness with regular clinical monitoring and frequent maintenance. For most patients, the positive initial outcomes continued for up to 10 years, suggesting SIMO particularly benefits older patients with financial constraints.
