Dynamic vs. Static Jaw Relations for Implant-Supported Full-Arch Prostheses

Official title: Dynamic Versus Static Jaw Relation for Implant Supported Prosthesis: Crossover Study of Chewing Efficiency

Run by Mansoura University · NCT07890389 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This study tests whether using dynamic jaw tracking to set up implant-supported full-arch prostheses improves chewing efficiency compared with the traditional static method in completely edentulous adults.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are adults who are completely edentulous with fully healed ridges and suitable maxillomandibular relationships, willing to undergo two definitive prostheses in a crossover design.

Probably not a fit

Patients with contraindications to implant surgery or impaired neuromuscular control may not benefit.

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

What this trial studies

In a crossover design, ten completely edentulous participants will receive two zirconia full-arch prostheses: one created with conventional static jaw relation records and one with dynamic digital jaw tracking. Chewing efficiency will be measured at prosthesis insertion, 3 months, and 6 months using a two-color chewing gum mixing test analyzed by image software. Each participant serves as their own control to compare the two jaw relation approaches. Recruitment is at Mansoura University, with all procedures following standard prosthodontic care and ethical guidelines.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If dynamic jaw tracking proves beneficial, patients could experience improved chewing performance with implant-supported prostheses.

How similar studies have gone: Previous research suggests jaw relation technique can influence masticatory function, but findings in implant-supported full-arch prostheses are limited and mixed.
