Trial summary

For this study, twenty patients were selected, and participants were randomly divided into two groups using random numbers produced in an Excel spreadsheet. Each patient got four implants in the mandibular canine and first molar sites, as well as the bar attachment. Read more about this study

About this study

For this study, twenty patients were selected, and participants were randomly divided into two groups using random numbers produced in an Excel spreadsheet. Each patient got four implants in the mandibular canine and first molar sites, as well as the bar attachment.

The purpose of this study was to document and report patient satisfaction with mandibular implant overdentures with quadrilateral distribution and linear distribution. The null hypothesis was that patient satisfaction would not be different depending on the distribution type (quadrilateral or linear).

According to the bar design, all patients were classified into two equal groups: quadrilateral bar design (group I) and bilateral linear bar design (group II). Peri-implant marginal bone loss was evaluated immediately (T0) and after 2 years (T2) of overdenture insertion using a digital periapical X-ray.

What participants receive

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

  • ImplantOther

    A long cone paralleling approach with a specially made film holder will be used to assess each patient's vertical marginal bone loss to ensure standardized radiography analysis and avoid any magnification errors. The linear distance between the proximal crestal bone level and the implant shoulder will be measured at the mesial and distal aspects of the implant measured in millimeters (mm). Measurements will performed using image measurement software patient satisfaction comparison between 2 groups

What is being measured

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

  1. marginal bone loss

    Measured: Peri-implant marginal bone loss was evaluated immediately (T0) and after 2 years (T2) of overdenture insertion using a digital periapical X-ray.

  2. Patient Satisfaction

    Measured: Patient satisfaction (primary outcome) was measured by a visual analog scale (VAS). OHRQoL (secondary outcome) was measured by oral health impact profile (OHIP-14). Questions of VAS and OHIP-14 were evaluated after 3 months.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Implant in people with Edentulism, 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 4 inclusion and 6 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 4 Nov 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?

marginal bone loss (time frame: Peri-implant marginal bone loss was evaluated immediately (T0) and after 2 years (T2) of overdenture insertion using a digital periapical X-ray.). The study lists 2 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 4 Nov 2024.
