About this study

Official title: PEEK Versus Metallic Attachment-retained Obturators Regarding Patient Satisfaction: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Patients' satisfaction evaluation and radiographic evaluation of the terminal abutments of attachment- retained maxillary obturators with metal framework versus milled PEEK framework in the management of maxillectomy cases.

Read the detailed description

Eighteen participants were randomly divided into three parallel groups (n=6). Participants of PEEK group received attachment-retained obturators with milled PEEK framework, metal group received an attachment-retained obturator with metallic framework and conventional group received conventional clasp-retained obturators with metallic framework (Control group). Evaluation included radiographic evaluation and patients' satisfaction where two scales were followed in this study, including "The Obturator Functioning Scale" and "The European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Head and Neck 35" using one way ANOVA test.

Being tested
PEEK attachment retained obturator, metalic attachment retained obturator, conventional obturator
Medical subject headings
Maxillary Neoplasms

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing PEEK attachment retained obturator, metalic attachment retained obturator and conventional obturator in people with Maxillary Neoplasms, run by Cairo University 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 2 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Mar 2021. 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?

patient satisfaction 1(change" is being assessed) (time frame: 1 week to 6 months). 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 3 Mar 2021.
