Cairo University (CU)

Status: Unknown

Conditions: Completely Edentulous

Treatments: Device: ball attachment; Device: cm-loc attachment

Study type: Interventional

Funder types: Other

About

The single implant overdenture (IOD) represent the simplest form of IODs compared to the 2 IOD which is the traditional gold standard IOD treatment option. Mandibular single-implant overdentures are proven to be a successful treatment option for older edentulous adults but we need to know if the CM-LOC attachment will retain its superiority over the ball attachments intraorally regarding the prosthetic complications in single implant retained overdenture like in 2 IOD

Enrollment: 112 estimated patients

Sex: All

Ages: 50 to 69 years old

Volunteers: Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

• Completely edentulous male or female patients between the ages of 50 to 69.
• No contraindications for implantation.
• Each patient has to perform both a random blood sugar and Glycosylated Hemoglobin analysis. Patients with a Glycosylated hemoglobin test HbA1c up to 8% and a normal blood sugar level (79 to 110) or controlled diabetic patients (90-130 fasting according to American Association of Diabetes) will be included.
• Sufficient bone width (≥ 6 mm) in the anterior region to place an implant. It could be either normally present or achieved by bone plateauing. This will be confirmed by cone beam computed tomographic (CBCT) scans.
• Residual bone height ranging from 11-20 mm with the lowest vertical height in the midline of the mandible not less than 13 mm (Class II or III according to McGarry et al[1] 1999). This will be confirmed by the CBCT.
• Patients seeking to install a single symphyseal implant and for whom new dentures will be constructed.
• Patients, who are dissatisfied with the retention and stability of their technically satisfactory dentures.
• Patients, who already have existing maxillary and mandibular complete dentures, and after examination of the mandibular dentures, it is found that there are technical problems with regard to denture design and/or occlusion; then new maxillary and mandibular dentures will be fabricated
• All patients should have adapted to their dentures for at least six weeks before being included in the trial.
• Patients providing written informed consents to participate in the trial and this will be done before the scheduled date for implant installation.

Exclusion criteria

• Patients with a systemic or local contra-indication for implant placement.
• Satisfied patients with the retention of their mandibular denture as well as unsatisfied patients with their maxillary denture.
• Patient with a mandibular denture height less than 6 mm between the base of the denture and the incisal edge of the central incisors (as measured by a caliper) or with 12 mm crown height space as measured by a ruler from the incisal edge till the crest of the ridge. This will be done from a putty index of the diagnostic set up.
• Incompliant and not cooperative patients.
• Patients smoking more than 10 cigarettes per day
