The proposed COS for studies on the rehabilitation of the edentulous maxilla in implant dentistry was developed using the COMET methodology. Although patients' perspectives were incorporated during the preliminary survey phase, they did not participate directly in the Delphi, highlighting an opportunity for future research to further enhance patient involvement in COS development. The widespread implementation of this COS is expected to improve the consistency of outcome reporting and facilitate comparisons of the effectiveness of current and emerging interventions.
