About this study

Official title: Comparison of Electromyographic Muscle Activity and Occlusal Accuracy Between Conventional and CAD/CAM Complete Dentures Designed Based on Neutral Zone Concept (Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial)

A within-subject cross-over study is done on eight completely edentulous patients to compare two different complete removable dentures. Group I: Heat cured Conventional complete dentures designed based on the neutral zone concept; Group II: CAD-CAM neutral zone complete dentures designed based on the neutral zone concept. Occlusal analysis is done by the T-Scan device, and evaluation of muscle activity is conducted by electromyography at insertion time, two weeks after insertion time, and one month after insertion time.

Read the detailed description

This study is designed as a randomized clinical trial applying a within-subject comparison of two different complete denture types as follows; group I: Heat cured Conventional complete dentures designed based on the neutral zone concept, group II: CAD-CAM neutral zone complete dentures designed based on the neutral zone concept. The study will be carried out on eight completely edentulous patients, each patient will receive two sets of complete dentures in a random sequence. For each denture set, at the denture insertion visit occlusal analysis and equilibration will be performed with the aid of the T-Scan device, also EMG evaluation of muscle activity will be conducted. Two weeks after, the patients will be recalled to reanalyze the occlusion after the denture settles using the T-scan computerized system. One month after the last recall visit, the EMG evaluation of muscle activity will be conducted again. The EMG and T-scan recording data will be collected and analyzed to compare the two denture types

What is being measured

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

  1. Evaluation of the electromyography muscle activity (EMG) of the masseter and temporalis muscles.

    The electromyography activity of the Masseter and Temporalis muscles will be evaluated during clenching, chewing of soft food, and chewing of hard food, at the time of denture insertion (baseline) and one month after baseline.The measuring unit is mv.

    Measured: one month

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Evaluation of occlusal force equilibration using t-scan device

    The percentage of occlusal force distribution will be evaluated for both dentures using the T-Scan computerized occlusal analysis system, at the time of denture insertion (baseline) and following baseline by two weeks after.

    Measured: two weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Heat Cured Conventional Polymethylmethacrylate Complete Removable Dentures based on neutral zone concept and CAD/CAM Milled Methacrylate Complete Removable Dentures based on neutral zone concept. in people with Missing Teeth and Dentures, run by Ain Shams 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 6 inclusion and 7 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 5 Sep 2024. 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?

Evaluation of the electromyography muscle activity (EMG) of the masseter and temporalis muscles. (time frame: one month). 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 NCT05990088, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 5 Sep 2024.
