Purpose: A novel attachment system for implant-retained overdentures (IRODs) with novel material combinations for improved mechanical resilience and prosthodontic success (Novaloc) has been recently introduced as an alternative to an existing system (Locator). This study investigated whether differences between the Novaloc and Locator attachment systems translate into differences in implant survival, implant success, and patient-centered outcomes when applied in a real-world in-practice comparative setting in patients restored with mandibular IRODs supported by 2 interforaminal implants (2-IRODs). Methods: This prospective, intra-subject crossover comparison compared 20 patients who received 2 intra-foraminal bone level tapered implants restored with full acrylic overdentures using either the Locator or Novaloc attachment system. After 6 months of function, the attachment in the corresponding dentures was switched, and the definitive attachment system type was delivered based on the patient's preference after 12 months. For the definitive attachment system, implant survival was evaluated after 24 months. The primary outcomes of this study were oral health-related quality of life and patient preferences related to prosthetic and implant survival. Secondary outcomes included implant survival rate and success, prosthetic survival, perceived general health, and patient satisfaction. Results: Patient-centered outcomes and patient preferences between attachment systems were comparable, with relatively high overall patient satisfaction levels for both attachment systems. No difference in the prosthetic survival rate between study groups was detected. The implant survival rate over the follow-up period after 24 months in both groups was 100%. Conclusions: The results of this in-practice comparison indicate that both attachment systems represent comparable candidates for the prosthodontic retention of 2-IRODs. Both systems showed high rates of patient satisfaction and implant survival. The influence of material combinations of the retentive system on treatment outcomes between the tested systems remains inconclusive and requires further investigations.

본 한국 보건산업은 병원들의 경쟁과 함께 급격히 변화하고 있다. 과거에 병원은 경쟁력있는 전략방법없이 이윤을 창출하였다. 게다가 병원은 고객들의 요구와 원하는 것을 중요하게 여기지 않았다. 그러나, 요즈음 점점 심해지는 병원들의 경쟁은 경쟁적인 관리 전략과 고객관계관리를 매우 중요시 다루고 있다. 본 연구는 의료기관을 방문하는 외래환자와 입원환자에 대해서 의료서비스를 받기 전의 기대만족도와 의료서비스를 받은 후의 만족도를 비교하고 VOC에 대한 환자들의 반응을 분석한 후 환자만족도를 높이기 위한 방안을 찾고자 한다. 연구의 방법은 환자의 만족도를 좀 더 자세하게 파악하기 위해 본 연구의 목적에 맞게 개발된 설문지를 외래, 입원환자 각각 100명을 조사하였으며 분석은 의료서비스의 전, 후의 만족도 비교이므로 Paired - Test와 기술통계등을 이용하였다. 연구결과 외래환자는 간호사의 친절도에서만 만족도의차이가 통계적으로 유의한 것으로 나왔으나 입원환자의 경우 의료진과 직원의 친절도 그리고 회진서비스에서 만족도의 차이가 통계적으로 유의한 것으로 나왔다. 따라서, 조사된 입원, 외래환자 만족도 항목 중 의료서비스관련 만족도에 차이를 보이고 있으므로 그에 대한 좀 더 상세한 분석과 대책 방안 강구를 위해 VOC 를 지속적으로 발전 활용하는 것이 환자만족도를 높이고 그에 따른 의료기관의 경영효율화를 높이는데 매우 도움이 클 것으로 사료된다.
