About this study

patients will be equally and randomly divided into 2 groups. Each group contains seven patients: Digital Group: implant supported maxillary overdenture will be constructed using electronic facebow to record maxillo-mandibular relation.

Static Group: implant supported maxillary overdenture will be constructed using the conventional jaw relation method.

Radiographic evaluation for crestal bone height around implants using direct digital periapical paralleling cone technique.

All data of radiographic evaluation were collected and tabulated then statistically analyzed using SPSS software.

Read the detailed description
  • Conventional single upper denture will be made for all patients.
  • Occlusal adjustment of lower teeth for all patients by T-scan using the single upper conventional denture.
  • The single maxillary denture will be duplicated with radiopaque markers and CBCT will be used to determine the exact positions of the implants.

Surgical procedures

  1. Surgery will be done under local anesthesia.
  2. Drilling will be carried out under copious sterile irrigation.
  3. four implants will be inserted in canines and second premolar area in the maxilla.

After 3-4 months of implants placement, patients will be equally and randomly divided into 2 groups. Each group contains seven patients:

Digital group: For this group, implant supported maxillary overdenture will be constructed using electronic facebow to record maxillo-mandibular relation.

Static group: For this group, implant supported maxillary overdenture will be constructed using the conventional jaw relation method.

Post insertion:

  • Clinical evaluation for any signs of inflammation is made.
  • Further occlusal refining of lower teeth by T-scan is done with final overdenture.

Method of evaluation:

Radiographic evaluation for crestal bone height around implants using direct digital periapical paralleling cone technique.

All data of radiographic evaluation were collected and tabulated then statistically analyzed using SPSS software.

What is being measured

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

  1. Marginal bone loss around implants

    Crestal bone changes around implants supporting maxillary single overdenture opposed by natural dentition were measured using periapical radiography through long cone technique

    Measured: 18 month

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. digital occlusal analysis using T-scan

    Immediately after implant overdenture insertion, occlusal force magnitude, time and equilibrium were measured by the T-scan digital system by instructing the patient to bite on a sensor attached to a laptop on which the biting force was displayed as a count of disocclusion time and occlusion time, dictating the degree of any occlusal interference. The system also shows the degree of centralization of biting force between the right and left sides of the arch.

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Maxillary implant supported overdenture , Digital jaw relation group and Maxillary implant supported overdenture , Static jaw relation group in people with Edentulous Jaw, 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 7 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 11 May 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 around implants (time frame: 18 month). 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 11 May 2025.
