Abstract
ObjectivesThis systematic review aimed to determine whether patient‐reported outcomes (PROs) are associated with clinician‐reported outcomes (ClinROs) in terms of esthetics in patients with single implant‐supported crowns in the esthetic region.MethodsA systematic electronic search was conducted following a pre‐established protocol to identify randomized controlled trials (RCT) involving patients with single implant‐supported crowns in the esthetic region. Studies had to assess both patient‐ and clinician‐reported outcomes. A two‐stage individual participant data (IPD) meta‐analysis was conducted. First, each study was analyzed separately to obtain correlation coefficients. Second, these estimates were pooled using a random‐effects restricted maximum likelihood (REML) model.ResultsA total of 29 RCTs evaluating 1414 implant‐supported crowns were included, with IPD available for 14 trials evaluating 675 patients. At crown insertion, IPD meta‐analysis from 171 patients across four RCTs showed no significant correlations (r = 0.11, 95% CI [−0.04; 0.27], p = 0.16) between pink esthetic score (PES) and patient satisfaction with esthetics assessed with visual analogue scale (VAS). At the 1‐year follow‐up, IPD from 502 patients in 11 studies showed a negligible positive correlation (r = 0.09, 95% CI [−0.00; 0.18], p = 0.06) between PES or modified PES and VAS esthetic satisfaction. At 10‐year follow‐up, data from 80 patients in two studies showed no correlation between modified PES and VAS patient satisfaction (r = −0.05, 95% CI [−0.37; 0.27], p = 0.75). Regarding white esthetic score (WES) and VAS satisfaction, data from 376 patients in seven studies showed no significant correlations at the 1‐year follow‐up (r = 0.03, 95% CI [−0.08; 0.13], p = 0.60).ConclusionClinician‐reported outcomes, using PES and WES, showed no correlation with patient‐reported esthetic satisfaction, regardless of the follow‐up duration.Trial RegistrationPROSPERO number CRD42023394920
期刊介绍:
Clinical Oral Implants Research conveys scientific progress in the field of implant dentistry and its related areas to clinicians, teachers and researchers concerned with the application of this information for the benefit of patients in need of oral implants. The journal addresses itself to clinicians, general practitioners, periodontists, oral and maxillofacial surgeons and prosthodontists, as well as to teachers, academicians and scholars involved in the education of professionals and in the scientific promotion of the field of implant dentistry.
