About this study

Official title: Direct Versus Indirect Pick up of the Locator Retentive Caps for Two Implant-retained Mandibular Overdenture: Calibration of the Manufacturer Retentive Force and the Clinical Retention (Within-patient Study)

The purpose of this study will be to evaluate the effect of direct and indirect pick up of the locator retentive caps and compare the clinical results with those of the manufacturer retentive force.

Read the detailed description

Patient selection:

For this study, 30 patients were selected from the clinic of Prosthodontic Department, Faculty of Dentistry, Mansoura University.

According to pick up technique for the locator retentive caps, the overdentures will be classified into two groups as follows; Group1: The retentive caps will be picked up by indirect method on the cast then by the direct method Group2: The retentive caps will be picked up in the patient by the direct method first then by the indirect method.

For both groups, the clinical retention will be measured after using pink and blue retentive inserts respectively.

All implants were inserted using computer-guided implant surgery and conventional loading protocol was used.

Evaluation methods The clinical retention of each insert will be calibrated as regards the manufacturer's value.

Also, the laboratory retention will be assessed for the two groups and calibrated as regards the manufacturer's value.

Measurements will be done immediately, three and six months after each overdenture insertion.

Being tested
dental implants in the mandible, locator attachment and overdenture

What is being measured

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

  1. measurement of overdenture retention

    measuring the clinical retention of the locator retained mandibular overdenture by forcemeter

    Measured: three months

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. marginal bone loss

    measuring crestal bone loss around dental implants in mm by digital radiography

    Measured: one year

  2. plaque index

    measuring plaque around dental implants using scoring system: score 0; absence plaque , score 1; plaque only detected by a probe passing through the smooth marginal surface of the implant, score 2; plaque can be recognized by naked eye, and score 3; plenty of soft matter.

    Measured: one year

  3. gingival index

    measuring gingival bleeding using scoring system: 0; no bleeding when a periodontal probe is passed along the mucosal margin, 1;isolated bleeding spots visible, 2; blood forms a confluent red line on the mucosal margin, 3;heavy or profuse bleeding

    Measured: one year

  4. pocket depth

    measuring pocket depth around dental implants in mm using periodontal probe

    Measured: one year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing dental implants in the mandible and locator attachment and overdenture in people with Prosthesis Durability, run by Mansoura 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 5 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 20 Apr 2023. 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?

measurement of overdenture retention (time frame: three months). 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 20 Apr 2023.
