Trial summary

Hundred already taken CT-scans (50 male and 50 female) will be anonymized. These scans will be segmented and implemented into a statistical shape model that will be used to predict missing hard tissue of a mandible based on the remaining bone. Read more about this study

About this study

Hundred already taken CT-scans (50 male and 50 female) will be anonymized. These scans will be segmented and implemented into a statistical shape model that will be used to predict missing hard tissue of a mandible based on the remaining bone.

Read the detailed description

Together with the radiology and Craniomaxillofacial (CMF) department, 100 scans will be selected from the database (50 males and 50 females, between 20 and 60 years old). First, they will be anonymized (except the sex and age/date of birth). Afterwards, they will be segmented using Materialise Mimics software. The segmented mandibles will then be used to create a statistical shape model (SSM) using principal component analysis. This model will afterwards be used to predict the mandibular shapes.

What participants receive

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

  • CT-scan evaluation and segmentationOther

    CT-scans will be evaluated (to see if they are included in the research group) and segmented if they are accepted.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Mandibular Diseases and SSM, run by CADskills at 1 site in Belgium.

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 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 Aug 2021. 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 Belgium. 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 statistical shape model of a mandible (time frame: 2 months). 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 Aug 2021.
