Sjögren's disease & overlap diseases
Implant supported overdentures in Sjögren's disease patients: a multicentre prospective cohort study
Authors' conclusion
Implant-supported overdentures have a positive effect on OHRQoL and dental implants can be successfully applied in edentulous patients with SjD with nearly similar outcomes as in non-SjD subjects.
Study context
- Population
- Edentulous patients with and without Sjögren's disease receiving implant supported overdentures51 + 50 implants placed
- Participants
- 12 vs 12
- Exposure
- Implant supported overdentures in edentulous Sjögren's disease (SjD) patients vs subjects without SjD
- SjDn = 12
- Non-SjDn = 12reference
- Outcome
- Patient-reported outcomes and clinical performance of implant supported overdentures
- Follow-up
- 1, 6, 12 and 18 months

Main finding
As reported in the abstract
1, 6, 12 and 18 months
- Oral health related quality of life (OHRQoL) in SjD improved significantly at all measuring moments vs baseline (p<0.05)
- Ability to chew tough and hard food significantly better for non-SjD at all timepoints (p<0.05)
- Clinical performance good, no differences between groups for all outcome measures (p>0.05)
Observational data: associations, not effects.
