About this study

Official title: A Prospective Cohort Study of Augmented Reality for Tooth Selection

A questionnaire based study to investigate the effectiveness of an Augmented Reality App in the selection of teeth for dentures. Patients dentists and dental technicians are asked to assess the effectiveness of the App in structured questionnaires.

Read the detailed description

Background The selection of teeth for dentures has difficulties. The main problem is that patients find it hard to envisage how a particular shape or 'mold' of tooth will look in their mouth. They are currently shown a number of different shaped teeth asked to express their preference.

This research team has developed computer software which now offers an alternative way to assist patients in the selection of the different shaped teeth. The new method uses 'Augmented Reality' (AR) to show the patient a live image of themselves with a selection of teeth in position in the picture. Effectively the patient takes a live video 'selfie' and the image on the screen shows the chosen teeth in their smile. The investigators want to know if this new method of selection improves the process of tooth selection.

Investigation Design This is a prospective observational cohort study which follows selected patients over 2 clinical visits carrying out a questionnaire based investigation of the new Augmented Reality (AR) method to select teeth for dentures.

Objectives This aim of this research is to investigate the effectiveness of the technology. This will be undertaken using 5 questionnaire based outcome measures to be completed by patients, dentists and dental technicians.

Primary Objective The primary objective is to assess the use of Augmented Reality (AR) for tooth selection.

Secondary Objectives

The secondary objectives use structured questionnaires to determine:

  1. the patients' assessment of using the Augmented Reality (AR) for tooth selection.
  2. the clinicians' assessment of using the Augmented Reality (AR) for tooth selection
  3. the dental technicians assessment of using Augmented Reality (AR) for tooth selection
  4. the clinicians' assessment of the quality and reality of the images produced by the Augmented Reality (AR) for tooth selection
  5. the dentists' assessment of the quality and reality of the images produced by Augmented Reality (AR) for tooth selection

Number of Patients 30 patients will be recruited

Informed Consent Witten Informed consent will be obtained from each participant.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Augmented Reality VideoOther

    Augmented Reality selfies will place a selection of denture teeth in pictures of the participants in order to enable the selection of their preferred teeth on their new denture.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. A questionnaire to determine patients' assessment of Augmented Reality App

    The patients' assessment of using the Augmented Reality (AR) for tooth selection will be analysed.

    Measured: Up to 18 weeks from entering the study

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. A questionnaire to determine clinicians assessment of Augmented Reality App

    The clinicians' assessment of using the Augmented Reality (AR) for tooth selection with a structured questionnaire.

    Measured: Up to 18 weeks from entering the study

  2. A questionnaire to determine technicians assessment of Augmented Reality App

    The dental technicians assessment of using Augmented Reality (AR) for tooth selection with a structured questionnaire.

    Measured: Up to 18 weeks from entering the study

  3. A questionnaire to determine patients' perception of the reality of the Augmented Reality App

    The patients assessment of the quality and reality of the images produced by the Augmented Reality (AR) for tooth selection by the use of a structured questionnaire

    Measured: Up to 18 weeks from entering the study

  4. A questionnaire to determine dentists' perception of the reality of the Augmented Reality App

    The dentists' assessment of the quality and reality of the images produced by Augmented Reality (AR) for tooth selection by the use of a structured questionnaire

    Measured: Up to 18 weeks from entering the study

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Mouth, Edentulous, run by University of Leeds at 1 site in United Kingdom.

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 4 inclusion and 3 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 3 Nov 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United Kingdom. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

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?

A questionnaire to determine patients' assessment of Augmented Reality App (time frame: Up to 18 weeks from entering the study). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 3 Nov 2020.
