Clinical Evaluation of RTX Locator Attachments for Implant-supported Mandibular Complete Overdenture

Vertical Alveolar Bone Loss Clinical Trial

Official title: Clinical Evaluation of RTX Locator Attachments for Implant-supported Mandibular Complete Overdenture Using Two Loading Protocols

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

This study was conducted to clinically and radiographically evaluate locator RTx attachments for two implant-supported mandibular overdenture using two loading protocols

Clinical Trial Description

Thirty edentulous patients received two implants in the interformaninal region in the canine area . According to the loading protocol used for attaching mandibular overdenture, patients were randomly assigned into two equal groups. Group I (control): patients who would be delivered mandibular implant overdenture retained by two RTx locator attachments using conventional loading protocol. Group II (study): patients who would be delivered mandibular overdenture retained by two RTx locator attachments using early loading protocol. Peri-implant tissue health [Plaque (PL) and (GI) gingival scores, pocket depth (PD), and crestal bone loss (CBL)] were evaluated immediately after denture insertion (T0), 6 (T6), and 12 (T12) months after insertion. ;
