Retention and satisfaction of single-implant mandibular overdentures in geriatric patients: A prospective study.

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
Single-implant mandibular overdentures have been proposed as a minimally invasive and cost-effective alternative to the two-implant standard, particularly suitable for geriatric patients. In this prospective study, 33 elderly patients received a single midline implant supporting an overdenture, and outcomes were evaluated for implant survival, prosthodontic maintenance, and patient satisfaction. The results demonstrated a 97% implant survival rate, with only minimal maintenance interventions such as matrix replacement and denture base adjustments required. Patient satisfaction improved markedly, rising from a baseline mean score of 45.0 to over 82.0 at 3 months, and remained stable at 12 months (p < 0.001). These findings confirm that single-implant mandibular overdentures provide reliable retention, high satisfaction, and favorable survival outcomes, establishing them as a practical solution for geriatric populations.
