About this study

The primary aim of this study is to introduce a new effective and efficient 3D printed design of an intra-oral space maintainer.

The secondary aim of the study is to:

Evaluate the clinical performance of 3D printed space maintainer versus conventional metal band and loop over a period of 6 months regarding their functional , biological aspects and patient satisfaction.

Read the detailed description

And will be conducted as follows:

  • In-Vivo evaluation of the clinical performance of 3D printed space maintainer versus metal band and loop concerning oral hygiene, retention and patient satisfaction.
  • A total of thirty healthy subjects will be selected from the Pediatric Dentistry and Dental Public Health outpatient clinic, Faculty of Dentistry, Ain Shams University. They will be divided using simple randomization in two groups:

Group 1: Children with 3D printed space maintainer (n=15) Group 2: Children with conventional band and loop(n=15)

What is being measured

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

  1. introduce a new 3D printed design of an intraoral space maintainer.

    The function of the new intraoral space maintainer will be assessed whether good retention is obtained or not,by checking whether it fell off the patient's mouth or not .

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. compare between the new 3D printed space maintainer versus conventional metal band and loop regarding their biological aspects.

    Biologically, the oral hygiene of the patient will be assessed by measuring the plaque and the gingival indices scores on the corresponding teeth on a scale from 0-3

    Measured: 6 months

  2. compare between the new 3D printed space maintainer versus conventional metal band and loop regarding their patient satisfaction.

    Patient satisfaction will be assessed by a satisfaction questionnaire given to the patient (scale from 1-3)

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing 3D printed space maintainer by NextDent Ortho Rigid and Conventional Band and Loop in people with Missing Teeth, run by Farah Ahmed Barakat 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 4 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 8 Jul 2020. 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?

Contact Farah Barakat, BDs (+201009887115, farah.barakat@bue.edu.eg), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

introduce a new 3D printed design of an intraoral space maintainer. (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 8 Jul 2020.
