We carried out a within-subject cross-over clinical trial with fixed and long-bar removable implant-supported mandibular prostheses. Fifteen subjects were randomly divided into two groups. One group received the fixed prosthesis first, while the other first received the removable. After a two-month adaptation period, psychometric measurements of various aspects of the prostheses and physiological tests of masticatory efficiency were carried out. The prostheses were then changed, and the procedures repeated. At the end of the study, subjects chose the prosthesis they wished to keep. In this paper, we report on the data gathered at this last appointment. Eight subjects chose the fixed (F group), and seven chose the removable (R group). Both groups rated stability and ability to chew with the fixed as significantly better than with the removable. However, the R group rated ease of cleaning as the most important factor governing their decision, followed by esthetics and stability. The F group considered stability to be the most important factor in their decision, followed by chewing ability and ability to clean. There was a tendency for the removable to be chosen by older subjects (+50 years). These results suggest that patients choose fixed or removable implant-supported prostheses for specific reasons, and that patient attitudes should be considered when the design of a prosthesis is being planned for an individual patient.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/00220345940730051301","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,7,19]],"date-time":"2017-07-19T05:24:04Z","timestamp":1500441844000},"page":"1105-1111","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":133,"title":["Within-subject Comparisons of Implant-supported Mandibular Prostheses: Choice of Prosthesis"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"73","author":[{"given":"J.S.","family":"Feine","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Universite de Montreal, Faculte de medecine dentaire, Departement de restauration, C.P. 6128, Succ.
