About this study

Official title: Identifying Diagnostic Criteria of Denture Adhesive Use in Complete Denture Wearers: A Quasi-experimental Study

80 complete denture (CD) wearers participated in the quasi-experimental study. Two outcomes were: 1) oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) assessed using the Oral Impacts on Daily Performances index, and 2) masticatory performance, determined by a peanut particle size after 20-stroke mastication. Denture retention and stability were evaluated using the Chulalongkorn University (CU)-modified Kapur method to classify the CD into acceptable or unacceptable quality. Data were collected at 3-time points: 1) at baseline (T0), 2) after a 1-month trial of denture adhesive (DA) use (T1), at which time the participants decided whether to continue using DA, and 3) 1-month after continued or discontinued using DA (T2).

Read the detailed description

Participants The eligible participants were CD wearers randomly recruited from patients who visited the Prosthodontic clinic at the Faculty of Dentistry, Chulalongkorn University from 2015 to 2019. The inclusion criteria were patients who had worn removable maxillary and mandibular CDs for at least 6 months. The patients who wore a metal-based denture, had a history of DA use, had difficulty in responding to the interview, or were unwilling to follow the study protocol were excluded from the study.

Outcomes The primary outcome was OHRQoL determined using the Thai-version of Oral Impacts on Daily Performances index. The participants were interviewed whether they had difficulties in performing the following 8 daily activities: eat, speak, clean denture and mouth, sleep, smile, emotional stability, social contact, and carry out work or housework. The frequency and severity of each impact were rated using a five-point Likert scale, and their multiplication gave a condition-specific impact score. The overall oral impact score was the sum of all 8 activity scores. The prevalence of an oral impact was categorized into absence (score = 0) or presence of an oral impact (score > 0). The changes in oral impact score from T0 to T1 were categorized into 3 types: decreased (T0 score > T1 score), increased (T0 score < T1 score), and remained absent (T0 score = T1 score = 0).

The secondary outcome was masticatory performance assessed using the multiple sieve method of peanut mastication. The participants masticated 3 grams of roasted peanuts for 20 strokes in triplicate with a 15-minute resting interval between each test. The comminuted peanut particles were dried and sieved through 12 standard test sieves (Test sieve; Retcsh Technology GmbH) on a vibrating sieve shaker. A simple linear regression was plotted between the cumulative weight and diameter of each sieve test. The median peanut particle size (mm) was the sieve diameter through which 50% of the comminuted peanut particles passed. A smaller peanut particle size reflected a higher masticatory performance.

Intervention An external prosthodontist provided a cream-type DA (Polident®, GlaxoSmithKline, Ireland), and instructed the participants to use the DA cream once a day in the morning and use it throughout the day. They applied the DA onto maxillary and mandibular dentures on the tissue surface using a spot method. The participants had to remove the DA and clean the denture every day after the last meal by soaking and brushing the CD with liquid soap and a soft toothbrush under running tap water. Two gauze pads were used to remove DA from the denture and oral mucosa.

The OHRQoL, masticatory performance, and CD-quality were evaluated at 3-time points:

  1. T0, at baseline before using the DA. The baseline information regarding the outcomes was evaluated. Then, the participants underwent a daily 1-month trial of DA use,
  2. T1 (T0 + 1 month), after the 1-month trial period of DA use. The outcomes were evaluated with all participants using DA. The external prosthodontist asked the participants to choose whether they wanted to continue or discontinue using DA, and
  3. T2 (T0 + 2 months), at 1-month after continuing or discontinuing DA use. At this time, some participants used DA during the outcome evaluations, while some did not, depending on the patient's decision on DA use.

A single-blind clinical trial protocol was created. One of the investigators (B.T.) performed the outcome assessment who did not notice whether the participants continue using DA.

What is being measured

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

  1. Oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL)

    The OHRQoL was assessed using the oral impacts on daily performances (OIDP) index. The participants were interviewed about whether they had difficulties in performing the following 8 daily activities within physical, psychological and social performances: eating, speaking and pronouncing, cleaning denture and mouth, sleeping, smiling, emotional stability, social contact, and carrying out work or housework. The frequency and severity of each impact were rated using a five-point Likert scale, and their multiplication gave a condition-specific (CS) impact score. The overall oral impact score was the sum of all 8 activity scores. The prevalence of an oral impact was categorized into absence (score = 0) or presence of an oral impact (score > 0).

    Measured: 2 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Masticatory performance using the multiple sieve method of peanut particle.

    The participants masticated 3 grams of roasted peanuts for 20 strokes in triplicate with a 15-minute resting interval between each test. The comminuted peanut particles were dried and sieved through 12 standard test sieves (Test sieve; retch Technology GmbH) on a vibrating sieve shaker. A simple linear regression was plotted between the cumulative weight and diameter of each sieve test. The median peanut particle size (mm) was the sieve diameter through which 50% of the comminuted peanut particles passed. A smaller peanut particle size reflected a higher masticatory performance.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing denture adhesive (Polident®, GlaxoSmithKline, Ireland) in people with Complete Denture and Complete Edentulism, run by Chulalongkorn University at 1 site in Thailand.

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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Jun 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 Thailand. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

Oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) (time frame: 2 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 NCT04942262, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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 28 Jun 2021.
