About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Bone Height Changes In Three Implants Retained Mandibular Overdenture Using Three Different Attachment Design. A Randomized Clinical Trial.

this study was to compare the bone height changes around three implant telescopic, locator, and ball retained mandibular overdentures. radiographic changes in peri-implant tissue in three groups were evaluated

Read the detailed description

Twenty-four completely edentulous patients were recruited from the outpatient clinic of Removable Prosthodontics Cairo University. All patients recruited were seeking to install implants in their lower jaw, and have to meet the following inclusion criteria: age ranging from 50 to 69 years old, patients should have no contra-indication for implant installation, all patients should perform a glycosylated hemoglobin analysis and only up to 8 were included in the study. All patients had to sign an informed consent before the start of the study, and have to comply with the assigned follow-ups. Patients with any contraindications for implant placement or those who didn't comply with the follow ups were excluded from the study.

All patients included had maxillary and mandibular complete dentures fabricated following the conventional steps, after a period of 6 weeks adaptation, all patients were ready for implant installation. The lower denture was duplicated into a radiographic stent, having radio-opaque markers in the areas of implant installation. All patients had a CBCT x ray wearing the radiographic stent, to allow for proper implant planning and to visualize the height and width of the osteotomy site. The radiographic stent was then modified to a surgical stent by making a tunnel corresponding to the site of implant installation. All Patients in this study received three implants in the lower jaw at the premolar-canine area bilaterally and one implant in the midline at the central incisor area.

What is being measured

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

  1. Bone height measurement

    The Digora software was then used to measure bone height changes on the mesial and distal surface of each implant. The Digora software was then used to measure bone height changes on the mesial and distal surface of each implant. The implant in the peri-apical x ray was calibrated by drawing a line from the junction of the implant and abutment to the apical end of the implant, this line was the calibration line corresponding to the implant real length which was 11.5mm. After the implant was calibrated, a line was drawn on each implant surface; at the mesial and distal surface starting from the first implant thread to bone contact to the apical implant thread to bone contact. The line drawn would correspond to the bone height on each surface . Two blinded operators have carried out the assessment of bone height changes in order to have accurate results.

    Measured: one year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing ball attachment to retain mandibular over denture, locator attachment to retain mandibular over denture and telescopic attachment to retain mandibular over denture in people with Bone Loss and Implant Site Reaction, run by Kafrelsheikh University at 3 sites in Egypt.

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 1 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 2 Sep 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in Egypt. 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?

Bone height measurement (time frame: one year). 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 2 Sep 2021.
