Porcelain-fused-to-metal Versus Zirconia Implant- Supported in Mandibular Kennedy Class II(Randomized Clinical Trial)
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The goal of this randomized clinical trial is to compare biting force and patient satisfaction in three groups. The control group (1) will receive a CoCr removable partial denture, and in the other two groups (2) and (3), implants will be inserted to restore missed posterior teeth (second mandibular premolar and second mandibular molar) in the span area. After three months, implants will be loaded with three units of anatomical PFM-fixed partial dentures in group (2), while in group (3), implants will be loaded with three units of anatomical Zirconia-fixed partial dentures. Biting force will be measured bilaterally at the time of delivery of the removable partial denture and delivery of fixed partial dentures after two, four, and six months. Patient satisfaction will be assessed through a quality-of life questionnaire at the six-months recall appointment

Detailed Description
Thirty-three partially edentulous patients will be recruited. Patients will be randomly divided into three groups. The control group (1) will receive a CoCr removable partial denture; in the other two groups (2) and (3), implants will be inserted to restore missed posterior teeth (second mandibular premolar and second mandibular molar) in the span area using a two-stage surgical technique with the help of a radiographic and surgical stent. Pre-surgical and post-surgical prescription of antibiotics, anti-inflammatory drugs, analgesic drugs, and mouthwash for one week, then a follow-up will be done at the suture removal appointment. After a three-month osseointegration period, implants will be loaded with three units of anatomical PFM-fixed partial dentures in group (2), while in group (3), implants will be loaded with three units of anatomical Zirconia-fixed partial dentures. Recall appointments will be scheduled for the patients two, four, and six months after loading for the collection of the data. Biting force will be measured using a biting force sensor for both the intact and restored sides at the time of delivery of the removable partial denture and at the loading of implants after two, four, and six months. Patient satisfaction will be assessed through a quality-of-life questionnaire at the six-months recall appointment.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Evaluation of biting force [Biting force will be measured by newtons unit per minute using a biting force sensor for both the intact and restored sides at the time of delivery of the removable partial denture ( baseline ) and at loading of implants, after 2, 4, and 6 months.]
improvement of Biting force in two different implants supported partial dentures.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Oral health-related quality of life ( OHRQoL ) Measurement [At the time of delivery of the removable partial denture ( baseline ) and at loading of implants, after 2, 4, and 6 months. Patient satisfaction will be assessed through a quality-of-life questionnaire at the recall appointments.]
OHRQoL was measured by using the original version of the Oral Health Impact Profile OHIP-14, which has been shown to be valid and reliable. The questionnaire included sevendomains-functional limitation, physical pain, psychological discomfort, physical disability, psychological disability, social disability, and handicap-with two questions each. For each item responses were never, hardly ever, occasionally, fairly often and very often. Items were scored on a 5-point scale ranging from 0 (never), to 1 (hardly ever), 2 (occasionally), 3 (fairly often) and 4 (very often)

Patients with uncontrolled metabolic disorders such as diabetes mellitus.
-
Patients with parafunctional habits.
-
Patients with conditions that might complicate the treatment, such as: severe gag reflex, limited mouth opening.
