About this study

Official title: Clinical and Radiographic Evaluation of The Effect of Acetal Resin Versus PEEK on Supporting Structure of Abutment Teeth in Mandibular Kennedy Class I Partial Dentures Manufactured by CAD-CAM Technology

This study was conducted to evaluate and compare the effect of acetal resin versus Polyether ether ketone (PEEK) partial dentures on abutment teeth supporting structures in Kennedy class I mandibular partial denture cases. Clinical assessments were conducted by assessing the pocket depth (PD), plaque index (PI), and gingival index (GI). Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) was used to assess abutment alveolar bone height change.

Read the detailed description

This study was a parallel, two-group, double-blinded, randomized clinical trial. The proposal and consents were approved by the Research Ethics Committee. (REC) approval (P-PD-14-14). The Helsinki Declaration's guiding principles were followed when conducting the study. The Comprehensive Standards of Reporting Trials Statement (CONSORT) checklist's structure is followed in the study's presentation. The study was carried out at the Outpatient Clinic of the Removable Prosthodontic Department within the Faculty of Dental Medicine for Girls at Al-Azhar University.

In this study, fifty patients were initially evaluated. After conducting clinical and radiographic assessments, twenty patients who satisfied the inclusion criteria were selected in accordance with the sample size calculation. Each patient received an explanation of every procedure, and informed consent was obtained. These twenty individuals were subsequently divided randomly into two distinct groups (ten in each):

Group I: Ten patients received polyoxymethylene (acetal resin) partial dentures designed and fabricated using CAD/CAM technology. Group II: Ten patients received polyether ether ketone (PEEK) partial dentures designed and fabricated using CAD/CAM technology.

All patients were evaluated clinically and radiographically. Clinical assessments were conducted by assessing the pocket depth (PD), plaque index (PI), and gingival index (GI) at denture insertion, three months later and six months later. Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) was used to assess abutment alveolar bone height change at the time of denture placement, after three months, and after six months.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Acetal resin in people with Periodontal Diseases, run by Al-Azhar 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 5 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 18 Mar 2025. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

Pocket Depth (time frame: 6 months). 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 18 Mar 2025.
