INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
This randomized controlled trial compares a mandibular overdenture retained by one implant placed in the parasymphyseal or canine region with a mandibular overdenture retained by two implants placed in the interforaminal region in completely edentulous adults. Primary outcomes are oral health-related quality of life, patient satisfaction, and masticatory performance measured by a two-color chewing gum mixing test, assessed at baseline before implant surgery and at 3, 6, and 12 months after overdenture insertion.

Interventions
Placement of one endosseous implant in the mandibular parasymphyseal/canine region on the participant's preferred chewing side, followed by delivery of a mandibular overdenture retained with a standardized attachment protocol and follow-up schedule.
Placement of two endosseous implants in the mandibular interforaminal region (bilateral lateral incisor-canine area), followed by delivery of a mandibular overdenture retained with the same standardized attachment protocol and follow-up schedule.
