About this study

Official title: COMPARISON OF SENTRIC OCCLUSION DATA OBTAINED FROM TWO DIFFERENT COMPUTER-ASSISTED RECORDING METHODS

Aim: The aim of this study is to compare the T-Scan digital occlusal analysis system and the occlusal analysis mode of the CEREC Omnicam system, which is mainly used for design/ production, using the data recorded at the centric occlusion position.

Material-Method: Occlusal recordings were obtained from healthy 20 females and 20 males aged 18-25 at the centric occlusion position. Records were saved as .jpeg format and transferred to Adobe Photoshop CS6 program. Blue, green, and red colors (shown by the same color codes in both systems) representing light, intense and tight contacts, respectively, were evaluated in terms of the pixel counts. For statistical comparison the differences between the systems Independent Sample T-Test and, between the genders, One Sample T- Test were used (α = 0.05).

What participants receive

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

  • Digital Occlusal Recording with T-ScanDevice

    Occlusal contact recordings of all the teeth were obtained digitally under conditions of maximum bite force and centric occlusion only with the T-Scan (T-Scan III, version 9.1, Tekscan Inc., South Boston, USA).

  • Digital Occlusal Recording with Cerec OmnicamDevice

    Occlusal contact recordings of all the teeth were obtained digitally under conditions of maximum bite force and centric occlusion only with the CEREC Omnicam™ (version 4.2, Sirona Dental Systems, New York, USA).

What is being measured

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

  1. Comparing the levels of accuracy of the occlusal analysis mode included in the software of CEREC Omnicam and the T-Scan occlusal analysis system.

    In both systems, the data of contact intensity were defined with a color scale of blue to red where blue showed the lowest intensity and red the highest. The contact area images obtained from both systems were recorded in .jpeg format and were then transferred to the Adobe Photoshop CS6 program (Adobe Systems, USA) for comparisons to be made.

    The number of pixels in the contact areas of the upper and lower jaws of each subject in all the recordings obtained with the T-Scan and CEREC Omnicam systems were determined using the Adobe Photoshop CS6 pixel-based photographic procedure program.

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Dental Occlusion and Occlusion, run by Gazi University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 1 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 17 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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?

Comparing the levels of accuracy of the occlusal analysis mode included in the software of CEREC Omnicam and the T-Scan occlusal analysis system. (time frame: 6 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04798729, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 17 Mar 2021.
