Simplified Versus Conventional Complete Dentures

September 26, 2021 updated by: Dr. Nadia Ereifej, University of Jordan

Simplified Versus Conventional Complete Dentures: A Randomized Crossover Clinical Trial

The purpose of this randomized, double-blind, 2-period crossover trial was to assess the satisfaction of edentulous patients and their oral health impact profile when provided with complete dentures fabricated using the conventional and simplified techniques.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

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.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

40 completely edentulous patients, aged 40-85 years, with no relevant medical conditions, seeking complete dentures at a university hospital were included in this study. Those were randomly divided into two groups (n=20). Each group received two sets of dentures, the Group (S) were given the dentures constructed using the simplified technique first while the Group (C) received the dentures constructed using the conventional technique. After 1 month of the first set of dentures delivery, participants were asked to rate their general satisfaction on a 10-cm visual analogue scale in addition to their satisfaction regarding comfort, retention, stability, efficiency of mastication and speaking. Participants were also asked to fill the 20-item oral health impact profile for edentulous patients (OHIP-EDENT). Thereafter, each group of patients were given the set of dentures constructed using the other technique, given instructions and recalled after 1 month to evaluate the alternate set of dentures. 2 Prosthodontists performed all the clinical procedures and 1 laboratory technician performed the laboratory procedures. The results of the study were analyzed using Wilcoxon-signed rank test at significance level of 0.05.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

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.

Ages Eligible for Study

40 years to 85 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Study Major Dates

Study Start (Actual)

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
