Filter by:The aims of this clinical study are: 1) to compare the accuracy of conventional versus digital impression techniques for implant impressions; 2) to assess the passive fit of the prosthesis constructed from the most accurate impression. Thirty edentulous patients who received 4 - 6 implant and indicated for implant-supported fixed prosthesis will be invited. Full-arch conventional and digital impressions will be made for each patient. Accuracy evaluation will be made and the prosthesis will be constructed from the most accurate impression. Passive fit of the zirconia implant-supported prostheses will be verified at the try-in stage clinically and radiographically.
CAD/CAM (computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing) can be a game-changer for better access to care by edentulous patients. Digital overdentures offer potential for more satisfied patients due to better fit and can be provided faster/with lower costs. Providing digital overdentures has potential to enhance access to oral healthcare by the elderly, given the expected benefits (better quality, simpler, faster and more affordable than those obtained traditionally). However, evidence from randomized trials is crucial to verify the relevance of those benefits, especially from the patient perspective, and to confirm those benefits. This trial also serves as an opportunity to improve CAD software and materials, since it will identify technical challenges specific to the provision of digital overdentures. This randomized cross-over trial aims to reveal whether implant-retained mandibular overdentures (IMO) produced by CAD and 3D printing are more satisfactory to edentulous seniors than those fabricated using traditional methods. The investigators will recruit 26 edentulous participants (any sex/gender) amongst previous patients at McGill University, based on the following eligibility criteria: complete edentulism, elderly (age ≥60 years, according to the WHO), need for new maxillary and mandibular complete dentures, ability to complete questionnaires, and previous treatment with two implants in the anterior mandible. Each participant will receive two pairs of dentures, as per the McGill Consensus on Implant Overdentures (i.e., a mandibular overdenture opposed by a maxillary complete denture: (i) one by digital rendering of the mouth, virtual prosthetic design and 3D printing; (ii) a control pair, by traditional clinical and laboratory methods. Each pair will be worn for 3 months according to a random sequence (total follow-up: 6 months after the delivery of the first pair of dentures). Both overdentures will be retained by 2 Novaloc abutments and medium retention matrices. Outcomes will include patient satisfaction ratings and oral health-related quality of life. The investigators will evaluate other patient-reported outcomes, as well as clinician-assessed quality and cost. Outcome assessment will occur at baseline, then at three months after participants have worn each pair of dentures. Following the cross-over, participants will keep their preferred denture pair and return after 12 months to evaluate maintenance requirements, including stained and broken dentures.
- Steps in short: Undergoing the conventional steps of maxillary single denture construction till the step of framework construction that will be designed and constructed using CAD/CAM after optical scanning of the master cast ( 2 frameworks to cover the palate and crest of the ridge : one made of titanium and the other made of cobalt/chromium) then conventional steps will be undergone including bite, Try-in and delivery ending by measuring the denture retention. - Number of visits & follow up period : Visits: will be 5-6 visits for each patient. Follow up period: 6.5 months (immediately post-insertion then after 1 week then after 3 months for the first type then 2 weeks washout period and the same for the second type)
On of the main fixed prosthetic options of completely edentulous patients is the screw-retained implant supported prosthesis which was constructed on transmucosal abutments with its encountered problems such as: hardness to make it passively seated with multiple screw fracture and loosening problems and multiple encountered veneer material fracture and so there effect on patient satisfaction with multiple maintenance recalls.so, the investigators want to try a new technique of fabrication which was proposed for reducing the problems of lack of passivity which is the intraoral luting cement technique on titanium bases with reduced screw number but, with luting cement problems as de-cementation and cement biological effects on soft tissues and bone and there effect on number of patient recall visits and maintenance and so there effect on patient satisfaction
