About this study

Official title: Novel PEEK Retentive Elements Versus Conventional Retentive Elements in Mandibular Overdentures: A Randomized Controlled Trial

comparing retention and patient satisfaction of implant-supported mandibular overdentures retained by conventional nylon clip and metal housings for ball attachments versus PEEK clip and housings

Read the detailed description

Background. Many patients suffer from lack of retention of conventional mandibular overdentures due to loss of clip retention over time. Computer-aided design-computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) milled polyetheretherketone PEEK materials may be used for construction of retentive housing and clip for improving retention of implant-supported overdentures.

Objective . To compare retention and patient satisfaction of implant-supported mandibular overdentures retained by conventional nylon clip and metal housings for ball attachments versus PEEK clip and housings.

Methods: Twenty-two participants were divided into 2 equal groups (n=11). The conventional group received implant-supported mandibular overdentures retained by metal housings and nylon retentive elements, while the PEEK group received implant-supported mandibular overdenture retained by PEEK retentive element and housings.The PEEK retentive elements were made by using computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM).Evaluation included measuring the retention by applying a gradual pulling up force by forcemeter and patient satisfaction with a 7-point visual analog scale (VAS) at overdenture insertion , 3,6, and 12 months subsequently by research interviewer.

What is being measured

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

  1. retention

    measuring retention force of retentive elements using The force-meter machine (Eagle: ELT 3000) . Gradual pulling up force was applied. The record appeared at the screen of the force meter was recorded as it's single-blind measurements.

    Measured: 3 months to six months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. patient satisfaction

    measuring patient satisfaction using Visual analog scale (VAS) was used for the evaluation of overall patient satisfaction. All questionnaires were taken by the same research interviewer (assisted interviewer) as he was blind about the type of prosthesis (double-blind) as the research interviewer is from another department

    Measured: 3 months to six months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing PEEK retentive elements in people with Partially Edentulous Mandible, run by Cairo University at 1 site 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 15 Oct 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 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?

retention (time frame: 3 months to six months). 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 NCT05079048, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 15 Oct 2021.
