Trial summary

Prosthetic rehabilitation of acquired maxillary defects represents a challenging mission for both the prosthodontist and psychologically traumatized patients. These defects may be due to trauma, pathological conditions, or surgical resection of oral tumors. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Patient Satisfaction and Oral Healthy Related Quality of Life of Polyetherketoneketone and Metal Framework for Management of Maxillectomy Cases: Across Over Study

Prosthetic rehabilitation of acquired maxillary defects represents a challenging mission for both the prosthodontist and psychologically traumatized patients. These defects may be due to trauma, pathological conditions, or surgical resection of oral tumors. The resulting main problem is oronasal communication leading to impairment in mastication, swallowing, speech, and facial esthetics

Read the detailed description

Maxillary obturator prostheses are usually fabricated from polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) if the patient is completely edentulous, or from PMMA and a cast frame-work if partially edentulous. As the size of the surgical resection increases, the weight of the prosthesis also increases. Traditionally, the weight of the prosthesis has been minimized through the use of hollow bulb obturators and change of manufacturing material.

Polyetherketoneketone (PEKK) has been widely tested in a number of dental applications, such as PEKK dental implants, PEKK obturators, and PEEK RPD frameworks. PEKK has a relatively low Young's modulus of 3 to 4 GPa, which is close to that of human bones, and its tensile properties are similar to those of bone, enamel, and dentin. These properties make it a suitable material for fixed and removable prostheses.(6-8) PEKK is a lightweight material with excellent biocompatibility as it can be used in combination with Computer-aided design/computer-assisted manufacturing (CAD/CAM) in fabrication of maxillofacial prostheses.(9) So the aim of this study will be, evaluation of Patient satisfaction and oral healthy related quality of life of PEKK and metal framework for management of maxillectomy cases. The null hypothesis is that, there would be no significant difference between both frameworks.

What is being measured

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

  1. Patient satisfaction

    Obturator functioning scale (OFS) used for evaluation of patient satisfaction, such as improvement in speech, better swallowing with the obturator, feeling and appearance of the upper lip, general feeling in the mouth, self confidence, and avoidance of social family events

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Obturator in people with Patient Satisfaction, run by Mansoura 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 7 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Oct 2023. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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: 6 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 6 Oct 2023.
