About this study

Official title: Comparison of Two Different Procedures Fabrication of Conventional Complete Dentures: a 10-year Follow-up Study of a Randomized Clinical Trial

In this study, the investigators propose a 10-year follow up study of participants in a randomized clinical trial to compare the oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL), as well as general and related satisfaction of conventional complete dentures fabricated using two different procedures.

Read the detailed description

Study design A 10-year follow-up study of a randomized controlled clinical trial (RCT) carried out from 2001 to 2003, including assessment of patient satisfaction, denture repair/replacement and OHRQoL. Data will be gathered through telephone interviews. Since the contacts were last used a decade ago, the phone number may have been changed, but we will make every effort to find new numbers for any participant those contact information is no longer valid .

Subjects Patients who participated and completed 6-month follow-ups in the RCT (T group: 50, and S group: 54; total 104 subjects) will be contacted by telephone.

Interviews and blinding Potential subjects will be told that we are investigating conditions of their dentures 10-years after the delivery and that we will ask general questions, as well as for their ratings of satisfaction and OHRQoL regarding their dentures. After this, the subjects will be asked whether they are willing to respond to the interviews. If they agree, the interviewer will ask the questions according to a flow chart (Appendix 1a, b). The subjects will not be told to which group they had been assigned, and a blinded research assistant will carry out the interviews and data gathering. The research assistant worked with these participants during the active study 10 years before. Patients will be excluded if they cannot respond properly to the questions.

Questionnaires Data will be gathered by four questionnaires: socio-demographic (Q1: Appendix 2), denture history/oral health (Q2: Appendix 3), general and related satisfaction outcomes by answering VAS (visual analog scale) scores out of 100 (Q3: Appendix 4), and OHQOL measures (OHIP-EDENT) 12, 13 (Q4: Appendix 5).

Analysis Denture history The difference in number of people who keep and use the dentures at 10 years will be calculated in percentages. A Chi-squared test will be employed for the statistical analyses. Finally, the prevalence of problems associated with the dentures will be calculated.

Satisfaction The differences between the treatment groups in their general satisfaction ratings on 100mm VAS after the prostheses are worn for 10 years. A two-sample independent t-test will be employed. VAS items of comfort, stability, esthetics, retention, function and ease of cleaning are also included. These will be compared between the groups using t-tests.

OHRQoL OHIP-EDENT consists of 19 statements and responses varying from 0 to 4 on a Likert scale. The possible range between 0 and 76 will be derived individually and compared between the two groups. A two-sample independent t-test will be employed.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Edentulous, run by Nihon University.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Mar 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Patient satisfaction (time frame: 10years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02289443, which also lists 3 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 29 Mar 2017.
