About this study

A randomized prospective clinical study to compare screw Retained Arch Bar and Conventional Erich's Arch Bar in Maxillomandibular Fixation

Read the detailed description
  1. Patients with non-pathological favorable or non-favorable fracture of mandible or maxilla that can be treated by MMF when acceptable occlusion can be obtained via bimanual reduction will be divided randomly into two equal groups: Group I: 10 patients will receive conventional Erich's arch bar. Group II: 10 patients will receive modified screw retained arch bar.
Being tested
screw retained arch bar, conventional Erich's Arch Bar
Medical subject headings

What is being measured

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

  1. duration of surgical procedure in minutes

    Duration between the starting of fixation and complete fixation of fracture

    Measured: intraoperative

  2. maxillomandibular fixation stability in nominal scale(stable-unstable)

    stability after fixation

    Measured: immediately postoperative

  3. maxillomandibular fixation stability in nominal scale(stable-unstable)

    stability after fixation

    Measured: 4-6 weeks

  4. oral hygiene measuring with Oral Hygiene Index-Simplified (OHI-S)

    the OHI-S values range from 0 to 6.OHI-S score is good between 0 and 1.2, medium between 1.3 and 3, and poor between 3.1 and 6.

    Measured: immediately postoperative

  5. oral hygiene measuring with Oral Hygiene Index-Simplified (OHI-S)

    the OHI-S values range from 0 to 6.OHI-S score is good between 0 and 1.2, medium between 1.3 and 3, and poor between 3.1 and 6.

    Measured: 4-6 weeks

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. number of iatrogenic injuries

    iatrogenic injuries to teeth and gingiva

    Measured: intraoperative

  2. number of needle and wire stick injuries

    injuries to the surgeon and the assistants.

    Measured: intraoperative

  3. pain assessment using numeric rating scale (NRS)

    participants rated their pain on a scale from 0 to 10. The 11-point numeric scale ranges from '0' representing one pain extreme (e.g. "no pain") to '10' representing the other pain extreme (e.g. "pain as bad as you can imagine" or "worst pain imaginable").

    Measured: immediately postoperative

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing screw retained arch bar and conventional Erich's Arch Bar in people with Mandibular Fractures, 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 3 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 10 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?

duration of surgical procedure in minutes (time frame: intraoperative). The study lists 5 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 10 Apr 2023.
