About this study

Official title: Effect of Two Impression Techniques on Retention of Maxillary Complete Denture in Pakistani Population: A Double-blinded Crossover Randomized Controlled Trial

The primary objective of this protocol is to compare retention in maxillary complete dentures using single-versus two-step Poly-vinyl Siloxane (PVS) impressions in edentulous patients at denture delivery. Secondary objectives include assessing patient satisfaction with impression methods and denture satisfaction after a two-month adaptation and comparing post-delivery adjustment visits.

Being tested
Single step PVS impression, Conventional two-step PVS impression

What participants receive

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

  • Single step PVS impressionProcedure or surgery

    Single-step final impression method for complete denture fabrication using medium body PVS for border molding and wash impression in a single-step (i.e., one insertion of impression tray in mouth).

  • Conventional two-step PVS impressionProcedure or surgery

    Border molding with heavy-body PVS first, followed by wash impression with light-body PVS

What is being measured

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

  1. Retention of maxillary denture using digital force meter

    Three readings will be taken for each maxillary denture using digital force meter, and an average will be calculated in units for Newton (N) or Kg.m/s2.

    Measured: At the delivery appointment for each denture at an average of 2.5 week from the start of denture fabrication and at 8th week (+/- 3 days)

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Patient satisfaction with impression methods via the Burdens in Dental Impression-Making Questionnaire (BiDIM-Q)

    The questionnaire consists of 12 questions covering various aspects of the impression-making process. Prosthodontists will request patients to score each question from 1 to 100 to gauge their response. A higher score for an aspect of the impression-making procedure will indicate a higher degree of satisfaction.

    Measured: At the delivery appointment for each denture at an average of 2.5 week from the start of denture fabrication and at 8th week (+/- 3 days)

  2. Denture satisfaction using the Denture Satisfaction (DS) questionnaire.

    The questionnaire comprises 11 questions, answered on a 4-point Likert-type scale to assess the patient's experience with the dentures provided.

    Measured: At 2 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Single step PVS impression and Conventional two-step PVS impression in people with Denture Retention and Patient Satisfaction, run by Aga Khan University.

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 4 inclusion and 10 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: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Jul 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Kazmi MR Principle investigator, FCPS (+923212412423, syed.murtaza@aku.edu), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Retention of maxillary denture using digital force meter (time frame: At the delivery appointment for each denture at an average of 2.5 week from the start of denture fabrication and at 8th week (+/- 3 days)). 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 Jul 2024.
