Bite timing in lower overdentures supported by conventional versus mini dental implants

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

Twenty-eight patients with completely edentulous lower jaws will be recruited from the Prosthodontics Department at Ain-Shams University. Participants will be randomized with allocation concealment handled by a single postgraduate student to receive either an immediately loaded mandibular overdenture on two conventional implants or one on four immediately loaded mini-implants. The primary outcomes are occlusion and disocclusion times measured after prosthetic rehabilitation, with the Kapur index as a secondary outcome. Patients with conditions that may affect osseointegration (for example uncontrolled diabetes, pregnancy, or current bisphosphonate therapy) will be excluded.

Why it matters

Who can join: the full rules

Inclusion Criteria:

* patients with completely edentulous mandibular ridges and fully dentate or partially dentate maxillary arch restored with fixed restoration,

  * enough inter-arch space to allow for prosthetic rehabilitation with lower implant-retained overdentures
  * good oral hygiene and motivation.

Exclusion Criteria:

* The excluded patients will be patients with major systemic diseases that may affect osseointegration as uncontrolled diabetes mellitus, pregnancy, patients under bisphosphonate treatment.
