About this study

Official title: Comparative Study of Retention of Peek and Bre.Flex Materials Maxillary Bilateral Bounded Removable Partial Dentures .(Randomized Clinical Trial).

Evaluation of the retention of upper removable partial denture constructed from two different flexible thermoplastic materials.(BRE-FLEX and PEEK).

Read the detailed description

The assessor is responsible for all clinical procedure that will be conducted in this study during all the visits:

Panoramic radiograph and periapical radiographs will be made on the prospected abutment teeth to evaluate the crown-root ratio, the apical condition of the abutment and their alveolar bone support.

The preliminary impression will be performed with irreversible hydro-colloid impression material (alginate), The impressions will be poured with type IV dental stone to obtain diagnostic casts. Maxillary Face-bow will be recorded. The diagnostic casts will be mounted on semi adjustable articulator in centric occluding relation to evaluate the interarch distance and occlusal plane.

Special trays will be constructed and Mouth preparation will be performed by preparing guiding planes and rests seats will be prepared opposing to the edentulous area.

Final impression will be taken by elastomeric impression material. The impression will be poured into type IV dental stone in order to obtain master cast. The master cast will be surveyed. The proposed design will be as follows: metal framework base saddle for edentulous areas on both sides connected with palatal strap. Aker's clasp on all abutments with buccal retention. The denture base will be tried in with acrylic teeth in patient's mouth. After that, the denture base of the partial denture will be processed incorporation with the metal framework into the two different materials to be evaluated. The first group will receive the partial denture in which the metal framework incorporated with the denture base fabricated from PEEK material. The second group will receive the partial denture in which the metal framework incorporated with the denture base material fabricated from BRE-FLEX

What participants receive

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

  • PEEKOther

    PEEK (poly-ether-ether-ketone) has been successfully used over the last years in the medical field, and orthopedics, specifically. which presents high biocompatibility, good mechanical properties, high temperature resistance, and chemical stability due to a 4 GPa modulus of elasticity, it is as elastic as bone and can reduce stresses transferred to the abutment teeth. Additional advantages of this polymer material are elimination of allergic reactions and metallic taste, high polishing qualities, low plaque affinity, and good wear resistance, it has only recently been used in dentistry.

  • Bre.flexOther

    In the recent time thermoplastic materials (breflex) become quite popular in clinical practice such as nylon and acetal resins. since the 1950, polyamide resin (nylons) provide improved esthetics and reduction of rotational forces on the abutment teeth due to their low elastic modulus.

What is being measured

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

  1. Evaluation of Retention of removable partial denture constructed from PEEK and Bre-flex

    The first week, at the time of insertion measuring Retention immediately after partial denture insertion,The third week measuring Retention of the partial denture, The fourth week measuring Retention of the partial denture.

    retention is measured by digital force gauge device.

    Measured: One month

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing PEEK and Bre.flex in people with Retention, run by Cairo University.

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 5 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 19 Jan 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Evaluation of Retention of removable partial denture constructed from PEEK and Bre-flex (time frame: One month). 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 19 Jan 2017.
