About this study

Official title: Comparison of the Centric Relation Recorded by the Gothic Arch Methods and the Neuromuscular Method Using Cone Beam Computed Tomography

The purpose of this study was to investigate and compare the variation in mandibular relation recorded by the gothic arch methods and the K7 method using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT)

Read the detailed description

ten asymptomatic participants were selected,the centric relation registrations were separately recorded according to the technique of the gothic arch method and the neuromuscular method,subsequent, they were instructed to perform CBCT wearing two bite registrations,thus using dophin software to calculate the tmj space and the upper airway and using exocad software to ananyse the mandibular position, Data were analysed with paired t-test

What participants receive

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

  • the centric relationProcedure or surgery

    All participants were recorded the centric relation registrations according to the technique of the gothic tracing method and the neuromuscular method separately.

Study groups in NCT05512442
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
record the centric relation using the gothic tracing methodExperimentalthe vertical dimension of occlusion (VDO) were were determineded through facial appearance observation,thus,the patients were trained to execute bordering protrusive, retrusive and bilateral lateral-protrusive movements wearing the intraoral apparatus and a Gothic Arch Tracing was made, the apex of the Gothic Arch Tracing was defined as the gothic arch position.
Receives: Procedure: the centric relation
record the centric relation using the neuromuscular methodExperimentalthe participant were subjected to a low-frequency transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) using the J5 Myotronics for 45 minutes,With the help of TENS, complete relaxation of the muscles were achieved and the mandibular musculature was induced to guide the mandible in the physiologic position,thus using K7 to track the physical mandibular positon which was defined as the neuromuscular position.
Receives: Procedure: the centric relation

What is being measured

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

  1. the temporomandibular joint space

    according to the method of Ikeda and Kawamura, tmj space measurement in sagittal of the CBCT images were performed

    Measured: immediately

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. the upper airway

    Using the sinus/airway feature of the Dolphin software to reconstruct the upper airway,it included three region: the nasopharynx, oropharynx, and hypopharynx

    Measured: immediately

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing the centric relation in people with Tooth Loss, run by Fujian Medical University at 1 site in China.

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 23 Aug 2022. 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 China. 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?

the temporomandibular joint space (time frame: immediately). 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 23 Aug 2022.
