Periodontal Health and Patient Satisfaction of CAD/CAM Fiber-Reinforced vs. PFM Attachments in Distal Extension RPDs
Egypt12 participantsStarted 2025-01-01
Plain-language summary
This randomized clinical trial aims to assess periodontal health and patient satisfaction in mandibular distal extension removable partial dentures using CAD/CAM fiber-reinforced composite versus porcelain-fused-to-metal extracoronal attachments. Twelve participants with bilateral mandibular Kennedy Class I, retaining only the first premolars as the last standing abutments, will be randomly assigned to two groups. Group I will receive OT extracoronal attachments made from CAD/CAM fiber-reinforced composite, while Group II will receive OT extracoronal attachments made from porcelain-fused-to-metal. All participants will then receive a metallic removable partial denture. The null hypothesis states that no significant differences will be observed in periodontal health and patient satisfaction between the two attachment types.

What they're measuring
1
Evaluation of Bleeding index
Timeframe: At denture insertion ( baseline 0) and six months (180 days) after delivery of mandibular removable partial denture retained on double OT Extracoronal attachments
2
Evaluation of Probing Pocket Depth (PPD)
Timeframe: At denture insertion ( baseline 0) and six months (180 days) after delivery of mandibular removable partial denture retained on double OT Extracoronal attachments
3
Evaluation of Gingival Recession
Timeframe: At denture insertion ( baseline 0) and six months (180 days) after delivery of mandibular removable partial denture retained on double OT Extracoronal attachments
4
Evaluation Gingival Index (GI)
Timeframe: At denture insertion ( baseline 0) and six months (180 days) after delivery of mandibular removable partial denture retained on double OT Extracoronal attachments
✕. Patients with parafunctional habits (bruxism and clenching).
✕. Patients with any septic foci or impacted teeth as proved by panoramic radiograph, as well as patients with tilted or rotated abutments or soft tissue undercuts in areas that will be involved in the RDP design.
