NCT ID NCT06783426
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study interviewed 8 older adults (ages 65-80) who had completed oral prosthetic treatment to learn about their experiences before, during, and after the process. The goal is to better understand how oral health affects their quality of life and how dental care can be improved for seniors. No treatments were tested; instead, participants shared their personal stories through interviews.

Who is studied
The participants have been assessed with comprehensive quantitative methods of their neuropsychological status, oral function, and quality of life in conjunction with the original study from which they were recruited. They were then treated with oral prosthetic therapy and are reassessed at a follow-up three months after completion of the therapy. Our participants are recruited consecutively as they finish treatment at the Eastman Institute until we consider to have obtained "saturation" of our results.
