About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Changes in Brain Activity and Cognitive Function of Diabetic Patients Wearing Removable Partial Dentures

To evaluate the influence of restoring lost posterior occlusal contacts with removable partial denture (RPD) on the brain activity and cognitive function in controlled type 2 diabetic patients

Being tested
Flexible partial denture
Keywords
Removable partial dentures, Electro-encephalogram, Mini mental state examination, Controlled type 2 diabetes.

What participants receive

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

  • Flexible partial dentureDevice

    removable partial dentures (RPDs) were fabricated using thermoplastic resins (flexible RPDs). EEG and MMSE were evaluated before denture delivery and after one month of denture wear.

Study groups in NCT04554199
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
EEG and MMSE measurements before receiving RPDExperimentalEEG and MMSE were measured for all participant before wearing the removable partial dentures.
Receives: Device: Flexible partial denture
EEG and MMSE measurements after receiving RPDExperimentalEEG and MMSE were measured for all participant after wearing the removable partial dentures
Receives: Device: Flexible partial denture

What is being measured

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

  1. Brain activity measurement in controlled type 2 diabetic patients wearing RPD.

    RPDs were fabricated for each participant using thermoplastic resin. The brain activity was assessed using EEG by measuring the alpha waves (Dα/Hz) in controlled type 2 diabetic patients wearing RPDs. EEG records were obtained before denture delivery and one month after denture wear.

    Measured: For each participant the RPD should be worn for one month.

  2. Cognitive function assessment in controlled type 2 diabetic patients wearing RPD.

    For the same participates the cognitive function was assessed via MMSE questionnaire. MMSE consists of 12 questions with maximum scoring of 30. The measurements were obtained before denture delivery and one month after denture wear.

    Measured: For each participant the RPD should be worn for one month.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Flexible partial denture in people with Missing Posterior Occlusal Contact, run by National Research Centre, Egypt 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 5 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Sep 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?

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?

Brain activity measurement in controlled type 2 diabetic patients wearing RPD. (time frame: For each participant the RPD should be worn for one month.). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 18 Sep 2020.
