Study population: Egyptian Population

Who may be able to join

  • • CBCT scans of partially, fully edentulous and dentulous population.

Who cannot join

About this study

Official title: Assessment of Maxillary Sinus Septum and Its Prevalence in a Sample of Egyptian Population Using 3D CBCT : A Cross-Sectional Study

a cross-sectional study to estimate the prevalence of maxillary sinus septum and assessment of it in a sample of Egyptian Population using cone beam computed tomography through retrospective data analysis

Read the detailed description

Setting and location:

  1. The data collection will be obtained from the data base available at the department of Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology, Faculty of Dentistry, Cairo University, Cairo, Egypt.
  2. CBCT images will be obtained from Egyptian patients who had CBCT examination as part of their dental examination, diagnosis or treatment planning.

Participants:

A total sample of 111examined sinus belonging to Egyptian individuals will be included.

Variables:

  1. Prevalence of maxillary sinus septa.
  2. Location of maxillary sinus septa.
  3. Orientation of maxillary sinus septa in dentulous \& edentulous individual.

Data Sources / Measurements:

  • Retrospective Data collection will be performed after the CBCT images are pooled from the computer database.
  • All the CBCT examinations will be scanned using CBCT machine (Planmeca promax 3D Mid).
  • CBCT scans using different fields of view, and different voxel resolutions .
  • CBCT images will be interpreted by two oral radiologists independently; blinded from demographic data of the patients and from the results of each other.
  • Each one will evaluate the images separately twice with a period of two weeks between the two reading sessions.
  • Then inter-observational and intra-observational variability between the observers will be evaluated.

Bias:

No source of bias.

Study Size:

The results showed that a total sample size of 111examined sinus will be adequate to detect sinus septum prevalence of 24.6% with an 8% margin of error, a significance level of 5% and a 95% confidence interval.

Quantitative Variables:

The number of CBCT scans of Egyptian individuals with maxillary sinus septa will be counted to estimate the variations in the Egyptian population.

Statistical methods:

Data will be analysed using IBM SPSS advanced statistics (Statistical Package for Social Sciences), version 21 (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL). Numerical data will be described as mean and standard deviation or median and range. Categorical data will be described as numbers and percentages.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Maxillary Sinus, 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 1 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 31 Jul 2018. 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?

prevalence of maxillary sinus septa (time frame: in the years 2017-2018-2019). 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 31 Jul 2018.
