What participants receive

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

  • Biomet TMJ Replacement SystemDevice

    Also called TMJ alloplastic reconstruction

    Total replacement of the temporomandibular joint with a Biomet TMJ Replacement System

Study groups in NCT00762944
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Biomet TMJ Replacement SystemAll patients required total reconstruction of the temporomandibular joint (unilateral or billateral)
Receives: Device: Biomet TMJ Replacement System

What is being measured

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

  1. Time to Revision

    Time from surgical alloplastic reconstruction of the TMJ to revision surgery (Re-operation or removal)

    Measured: 3 years

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. jaw pain intensity (VAS score)

    Pain level is recored in a 10 cm line according the intensity of pain, where zero on the far left represents "no pain" and 10 on the far right, represent the maximum level of pain experienced

    Measured: 1 year, 1.5 years

  2. Interference with eating

    Interference of eating is recored in a 10 cm line according the intensity of the interference with eating, where zero on the far left represents "no interference with eating" and 10 on the far right, represent the maximum level of interference with eating experienced

    Measured: 1 year, 1.5 years

  3. Maximun Incisal Opening

    Maximum Incisal Opening (MIO) is the distance measured in millimeters (mm) from the incisal edge of the maxillary central incisors to the incisal edge of the mandibular central incisors at the midline with the mouth wide open.

    Measured: 1 year, 1.5 years

  4. Patient Satisfaction

    Patient satisfaction is the level of comfort with the TMJ reconstruction that a given patient experiences. It is expressed as "very satisfied", "satisfied", "dissatisfied" or "failure"

    Measured: 6 months, 1 year, 1.5 years, and 3 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Arthroplasty, run by Zimmer Biomet at 4 sites in United States.

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 10 inclusion and 10 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 21 Jun 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in United States. 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?

Time to Revision (time frame: 3 years). 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 21 Jun 2024.
