About this study

Official title: Clinical Evaluation of Impressions Made Using One Step & Two Step Polyvinylsiloxane Impression Techniques and Resulting Fixed Prosthesis-A Randomised Controlled Trial

This randomized controlled trial is to clinically assess and compare impression quality of polyvinylsiloxane impression material using one step (experimental) and two step (control) impression techniques and its effect on marginal fit of prosthesis and proximal contact of prosthesis.

Read the detailed description

Study participants will be randomly allocated to either of the two groups (experimental or control) through software-generated random numbers.

Indicated tooth will be prepared to receive a fixed prosthesis under local anesthesia as per standard guidelines.

Polyvinylsiloxane (PVS) impressions will be recorded in stock tray after moisture control, according to the assigned group.

In experimental group, light body and putty PVS will be mixed simultaneously and placed in stock tray to record impressions in single stage.

In control group, a putty PVS impression will be recorded first in stock tray and allowed to set. After setting of putty PVS, light-bodied PVS material will be applied to recorded impression surface and reseated in mouth to record final impression in second stage.

All impressions will be disinfected according to the recommended guidelines. All impressions will then be assessed by a senior clinician using 3.5 x magnification loupe and graded according to the selected criteria.

Impressions will then be poured in dental stone and prosthesis will be manufactured in dental lab.

Participants will be recalled for prosthesis trial and fit assessment of prosthesis margins using a dental explorer instrument and visual evaluation. Proximal contact of prosthesis will be graded according the criteria and assessed using dental floss.

Satisfactory prostheses will be cemented after final adjustments.

What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence of defects in impression recorded to fabricate dental prosthesis as assessed by impression quality assessment scale

    Outcome assessment scale: 1. Perfect impression, no voids or defects; 2. Acceptable impression, minimal defects in non critical region; 3. Unacceptable impression, defects involving critical region.

    Measured: 10 minutes

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Incidence of prosthesis margin defects as assessed by Marginal adaptation assessment scale

    Outcome assessment scale: 1. Adequate, adapted to tooth margins; 2. Inadequate, not accurately adapted to tooth margin

    Measured: 14 days

  2. Incidence of prosthesis proximal contact inaccuracy as assessed by prosthesis contact assessment scale

    Outcome assessment scale: 1. Acceptable, same as natural proximal contact on contralateral side; 2. Unacceptable; either tight or open proximal contact.

    Measured: 14 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Polyvinylsiloxane impression with different techniques in people with Endodontically Treated Teeth and Missing Teeth, run by Dow University of Health Sciences at 1 site in Pakistan.

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 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 12 Dec 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 Pakistan. 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?

Incidence of defects in impression recorded to fabricate dental prosthesis as assessed by impression quality assessment scale (time frame: 10 minutes). 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 12 Dec 2023; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 27 Oct 2026.
