Egypt20 participantsStarted 2023-04-08

Plain-language summary

This study is aimed to compare the wear of nylon caps and patient satisfaction in two-implant overdentures with metal bar and Peek bar overlays in the premolar area: This prospective clinical trial will involve 14 edentulous patients who will receive two implants in the premolar area. Patients will be randomly assigned to two groups: Group A will receive metal bar overlays, and Group B will receive Peek bar overlays. The patients will be evaluated at baseline,one month ,6 month and 12 month The following parameters will be evaluated: 1. Wear of nylon cap: The wear of the nylon cap will be evaluated using a digital microscope at each follow-up visit. 2. Patient satisfaction: Patients will be asked to rate their satisfaction with the overdentureResults: Metal group showed significantly higher roughness and volumetric changes than PEEK regarding baseline, after 3 months, after 6 months, and after 9 months. and there was insignificant difference between them after 12 months as P=0.11.Patient satisfaction scores were significantly higher in the PEEK group, particularly in retention, stability, comfort, and speech domains at both six months and one year (p = 0.04). on a visual analogue scale (VAS) at each follow-up visit.

Questions worth asking your doctor

Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.

1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Questions for the trial coordinator

The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.

1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?

A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
