About this study

Official title: Comparative Study of Different Supra-structure Materials in Digitally Designed Full-arch Implant-supported Prosthesis. (Bone Changes and Teeth Wear Analysis) - a Randomized Clinical Trial

after the implants' osseointegration period (4 months), digital scans will be taken for the implant positions and the STL files will be stored and sent for the CAD software to design a full arch restoration. Two types will be constructed, Group I patients will receive porcelain fused to titanium frameworks, and Group II will receive a framework made of high-performance polymer filled with nano-zirconia and carbon. After the installation of the frameworks, the bone height changes and the wear of the occlusal surfaces will be monitored at baseline, after 6 months and 12 months post insertion.

Read the detailed description

After the implants' osseointegration period of four months, a series of steps will be undertaken to ensure the precise design and implementation of the full-arch restorations.

First, digital scans of the implant positions will be conducted using advanced scanning technology. These scans will accurately capture the spatial orientation and positioning of the implants within the jaw. The resulting STL (Standard Tessellation Language) files, which represent the 3D geometry of the scanned implants, will be securely stored and transmitted to computer-aided design (CAD) software. This software will facilitate the design process for the full-arch restorations.

In this study, two distinct types of full-arch frameworks will be constructed for the participants, who will be divided into two groups based on the material used.

  • Group I will receive frameworks made of porcelain fused to titanium (P/FtTi). This material is known for its strength, durability, and aesthetic qualities, providing a reliable option for prosthetic restorations.
  • Group II will receive frameworks crafted from a high-performance polymer enhanced with nano-zirconia and carbon fillers. This innovative material is designed to offer superior mechanical properties, including increased strength and reduced wear while being lightweight and biocompatible.

Once the frameworks are installed in the patient's mouth, the study will focus on monitoring the changes in bone height and the wear of the occlusal surfaces over time. Measurements will be taken at three key intervals: baseline ( time of framework fixation), and then again at six months and twelve months post-insertion.

This monitoring will involve radiographic assessments using CBCT and clinical evaluations to quantify any bone resorption around the implants and to assess the wear patterns of the occlusal surfaces using the intraoral scanner, the STL files of the scans will be superimposed on a software (Geomagic) that is used to measure changes and deviations between the scans. The data collected will provide valuable insights into the long-term performance and stability of the different materials used in the full-arch restorations, thereby contributing to the understanding of their clinical efficacy in implant-supported prosthetics.

What is being measured

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

  1. bone height changes around the implants

    bone height changes around the implants will be assessed using CBCT. this will be acquired at the time of insertion, after 6 months and after 12 months. bone height changes will be measured at the buccal, mesial, distal and lingual surfaces around each implant.

    Measured: 12 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. occlusal surface wear analysis

    occlusal surface wear analysis will be performed by taking intraoral scans and saving the scan (STL) files to be imported into a specific software that is used to compare and measure the deviations between the reference file and the new files. the scans will be taken at the time of framework insertion, after 6 months and after 12 months post-insertion.

    Measured: 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing dental implant prosthesis in people with Edentulous Mandible, run by Misr University for Science and Technology 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 3 inclusion and 4 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: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Nov 2024. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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 changes around the implants (time frame: 12 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 4 Nov 2024.
