Table 1 Results of VAS scores and standard deviations (SD) of questions 1 to 7 (range 0–100)

From: SafetyCrown: a patient-centered, fully digital concept for immediate implant restoration following the one-abutment/one-time concept—a pilot case series of a new treatment concept

Question

SafetyCrown VAS score

Control VAS score

(1) How stressful was the treatment process from the implant placement to the definitive restoration with the implant-supported crown? (0 = not stressful at all, 100 = very stressful)

14 (SD 11.7)

29.8 (SD 23.1)

(2) How important did you consider the immediate restoration of the implant with a temporary during the waiting period to the definitive crown? (0 = totally unimportant, 100 = very important)

85.8 (SD 4.1)

 

(3) How much did the temporary improve your chewing ability? (0 = no improvement, 100 = great improvement)

83.3 (SD 6.3)

 

(4) How important did you consider the omission of the second surgical intervention? (0 = totally unimportant, 100 = very important)

70.5 (SD 22.5)

 

(5) How stressful did you consider the remaining tooth gap after implant placement for the waiting period to the definitive crown? (0 = not stressful at all, 100 = very stressful)

 

36.3 (SD 35.1)

(6) How much did the remaining tooth gap influence your chewing ability? (0 = no negative influence, 100 = great influence)

 

55.3 (SD 30.2)

(7) How stressful did you consider the second surgical intervention? (0 = not stressful at all, 100 = very stressful)

 

47.8 (SD 39.0)
