Prospective Registry of Prosthodontic Rehabilitation in Oncology Patients Undergoing Jaw Reconstruction (O-BRIDGE)

February 23, 2022 updated by: Johan Abeloos, AZ Sint-Jan AV
The investigators aim to develop a prospective database in which patient demographics, surgical, dental, prosthetic and QOL parameters collected during consecutive visits within the framework of routine practice, are being registered for each oncological patient eligible for (immediate/delayed) fixed prosthodontic rehabilitation at time of oral cavity reconstruction

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Detailed Description

The number of patients requiring major ablative surgery in the oral cavity, including partial/radical mandibular or maxillary resection, due to a head and neck carcinoma, osteoradionecrosis (ORN), or medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) has not been accurately reported. Surgical reconstruction to restore oral function and aesthetics forms a challenge to maxillofacial surgeons, and greatly impacts patient' quality of life (QOL). Recently, an active collaboration between the surgeons of the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Unit and the prosthodontist (LB) of the Department of Dentistry at the General Hospital Saint-John Bruges led to the development of the "Oncology-bridge (O-bridge)" protocol, which offers (immediate/delayed) fixed prosthetic rehabilitation in a minimum of sessions and a strongly reduced two-week treatment time, consequently accelerating patient' improved QOL at a considerably reduced cost.

The investigators aim to develop a prospective database in which patient demographics, surgical, dental, prosthetic and QOL parameters collected during consecutive visits within the framework of routine practice, are being registered for each oncological patient eligible for (immediate/delayed) fixed prosthodontic rehabilitation at time of oral cavity reconstruction This could provide the investigators with more information about potential patient, surgical and prosthetic factors influencing short- and long-term biological and mechanical stability, as well as patient QOL. Moreover, registration of those results could function as a measurement of quality of care, and could be used for sample size calculation for future large prospective trials.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patients of all ages
  • Patients of all genders

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Time Frame
implant survival rate
Time Frame: within 12 months postoperative
within 12 months postoperative
bone resorption, as evaluated with cone-beam computed tomography
Time Frame: within 12 months postoperative
within 12 months postoperative
prosthesis survival rate
Time Frame: within 12 months postoperative
within 12 months postoperative
implant survival rate
Time Frame: within 60 months postoperative
within 60 months postoperative
bone resorption, as evaluated with cone-beam computed tomography
Time Frame: within 60 months postoperative
within 60 months postoperative
prosthesis survival rate
Time Frame: within 60 months postoperative
within 60 months postoperative

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Time Frame
Prevalence of oncological patients requiring jaw reconstruction secondary to tumour resection, ORN or MRONJ
Time Frame: within 12 months postoperative
within 12 months postoperative
Potential biologic or mechanical risk factors predictive of undesirable functional or aesthetic outcomes, through regression analysis
Time Frame: within 60 months postoperative
within 60 months postoperative
Patient' quality of life after prosthetic rehabilitation
Time Frame: until a maximum of 60 months follow-up
until a maximum of 60 months follow-up

Other Outcome Measures

Other Outcome Measures

For clinical trials, a planned measurement described in the protocol that is used to determine the effect of an intervention/treatment on participants. For observational studies, a measurement or observation that is used to describe patterns of diseases or traits, or associations with exposures, risk factors, or treatment. Types of outcome measures include primary outcome measure and secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Time Frame
patient satisfaction, as measured through visual analogue scale
Time Frame: until a maximum of 60 months follow-up
until a maximum of 60 months follow-up
