About this study

Official title: Patient-reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) Comparing Digital and Conventional Workflows for Treatment With Single-unit Implant Restorations: A Randomized Controlled Trial

This randomized controlled trial (RCT) analyzed monolithic single-unit implant restorations out of lithium disilicate (LS2) or polymer-infiltrated ceramic networks (PICN) in a chairside digital workflow (Test) and a conventional protocol (Control). The primary outcome was subjective patient perception in terms of PROMs comparing digital and conventional impression techniques as well as patients' satisfaction related to the final implant restoration among difference workflows and materials. The secondary outcome was to investigate the objective evaluation by a dental professional applying the functional implant prosthodontic score (FIPS). The null-hypothesis of this RCT was that both workflows and the two materials for the monolithic implant restorations had comparable results with respect to the defined outcomes.

What is being measured

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

  1. Patient reported outcome measure (PROM): satisfaction with impression technique via VAS questionnaire

    After impression-taking, questionnaires were handed out to the participants to evaluate PROMs via visual analog scales (VAS). Six categories were assessed: (1) overall treatment time of impression-taking procedure (0=unsatisfactory to 10=excellent); (2) convenience level of the impression technique (0=unsatisfactory to 10=excellent); (3) anxiety level of impression technique (0=low to 10=high); (4) bad taste and (5) nausea caused by the impression (each 0=no sensation to 10=a lot of sensation); and (6) pain during impression-taking procedure (0=no pain to 10=a lot of pain).

    Measured: After impression, At first visit within 30 minutes

  2. Patient reported outcome measure (PROM): satisfaction with final implant restoration via VAS questionnaire

    Patients were requested to score their feeling on screw-retained monolithic implant crowns in a 10cm VAS one week after delivery of the final implant crowns. The level of patients' satisfaction was measured in four categories: (1) perception of the overall treatment outcome (0=unsatisfactory to 10=excellent); (2) opinion on the function of the restoration (0=unsatisfactory to 10=excellent); (3) esthetic perspective (0=unsatisfactory to 10=excellent), and (4) ease of oral hygiene care (0=unsatisfactory to 10=excellent).

    Measured: 1 week after prosthesis delivery

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Functional implant prosthodontic score (FIPS)

    objective evaluation by a dental professional applying the functional implant prosthodontic score (FIPS).

    Measured: Prosthesis delivery visit, an average of 2 weeks after first visit for impression procedure

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Treatment of implant single crown in people with Dental Implant, run by Mahidol 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 4 inclusion and 6 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 4 Aug 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.

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 reported outcome measure (PROM): satisfaction with impression technique via VAS questionnaire (time frame: After impression, At first visit within 30 minutes). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04986761, 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 4 Aug 2021; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 27 Oct 2026.
