Prosthetic Maintenance of Two Implant-Retained Overdentures Reinforced With PEKK Versus Co-Cr Frameworks

January 20, 2024 updated by: Omnia M Refai, Ain Shams University

Prosthetic Maintenance Assessment for Two Implant-Retained Overdentures Reinforced With PEKK Versus Co-Cr Framework: A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial

The goal of this randomized clinical trial is to compare and assess the prosthetic maintenance of two implant-retained mandibular overdentures reinforced with PEKK and Co-Cr frameworks after twelve months. Twenty-four participants were randomly assigned to two groups: Group I received a mandibular implant-retained overdenture reinforced with a Co-Cr framework, while Group II received a mandibular implant-retained overdenture reinforced with a PEKK framework. Also, both groups were rehabilitated with a maxillary complete removable denture.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Twenty-four participants with edentulous maxillary and mandibular ridges underwent meticulous selection, with two implants placed in the mandibular canine areas through a two-stage surgical technique facilitated by a radiographic and surgical stent. Following this, patients were provided with maxillary and mandibular complete removable dentures relined with soft liners. After the subsequent three-month osseointegration period, ball attachments were introduced. Patients were randomly allocated to two groups based on the type of prosthesis they received. Group I received mandibular implant-retained overdenture reinforced with the Co-Cr framework, while Group II received mandibular implant-retained overdenture reinforced with the PEKK framework, both groups received complete removable dentures for the maxillary arch. The assessment of prosthetic maintenance for mandibular implant-retained overdentures in both groups was conducted twelve months post-denture insertion.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Mandibular implant-retained overdenture reinforced with a Co-Cr framework
The patient received a mandibular implant-retained acrylic overdenture reinforced with a Co-Cr framework. The framework is manufactured by milling polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) and then the PMMA undergo conventional casting to produce cobalt chromium (Co-Cr) framework. The framework included in the overdenture by conventional processing technique.
The intervention is made from polymethylmethacrylate reinforced with cobalt chromium ( Co-Cr) framework.
Other Names:
  • implant retained overdenture
Active Comparator: Mandibular implant-retained overdenture reinforced with a PEKK framework
The patient received a mandibular implant-retained acrylic overdenture reinforced with a Polyetherketoneketone (PEKK) framework. The framework is manufactured by milling PEKK the framework included in the overdenture by conventional processing technique.
The intervention is made from polymethylmethacrylate reinforced with Polyetherketoneketone ( PEEK) framework.
Other Names:
  • implant retained overdenture

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Evaluation of Prosthetic Maintenance of both types of implant retained overdentures
Time Frame: twelve months after delivery of implant retained overdenture
Evaluation of prosthetic maintenance for mandibular implant-retained overdentures in both groups was made after twelve months of overdenture insertion. Prosthetic maintenance is a checklist for the following aspects that were inspected regarding screw (screw loosening, screw fracture), attachments (wear, distortion, fracture, replacement), and overdentures (reline, remake, fracture, teeth wear, teeth separation, or fracture).maintenance for complication assed through counting frequency of incidence. The unit of measurement used is percentage.
twelve months after delivery of implant retained overdenture
