Brief Summary

The researchers will perform a parallel randomized, clinical trial involving completely edentulous healthy patients. Each participant will receive four dental implants in the anterior mandible. According to the processing technique and denture base material, the patients will be classified into three groups. Group I: involves CAD/CAM milled poly ether ether ketone PEEK overdentures, Group II: involves CAD/CAM milled PMMA overdentures and Group III :involves conventional heat-cured poly methyl methacrylate PMMA overdentures. All assessments were carried out at delivery, 6 moths and one year after overdenture insertion to clinically evaluate the preiimplant tissues. .

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

  • Peri-Implant Tissues changes regarding plaque index (PI).

    Peri-implant soft tissue changes as regards plaque was assessed employing the modified plaque index (PI).

    2 years

  • Peri-Implant Tissues changes regarding The bleeding index (BI).

    The bleeding index in accordance with Mombelli et al was used: score 0: no bleeding when using a periodontal probe; score1: isolated bleeding spots visible; score 2: a confluent red line of blood along the mucosal margin; score 3: heavy or profuse bleeding.

    2 years

  • Peri-Implant Tissues changes regarding The gingival index (GI)

    The modified Silness and Loe index, was used to calculate the gingival index: Score 0: normal peri implant mucosa; score 1: mild inflammation, slight color change, and slight edoema; score 2: moderate inflammation, redness, edoema, and glazing; and score 3: severe inflammation, marked redness and edoema, and ulceration.

Study Arms (3)

CAD/CAM Milled PEEK

EXPERIMENTAL

In the first group (CAD/CAM PEEK MODs), the mandibular master cast, mandibular trial denture, and maxillary denture were scanned using an intraoral digital scanner both separately while biting. The scanned data were saved in standard tessellation language (STL) file format and entered into the design software . The mandibular denture base and set-up were virtually designed. Based on the virtually created mandibular denture bases, the STL file of the designed denture base was imported into the milling machine to mill the prepolymerised PEEK discs to construct the CAD/CAM PEEK MOD base .

Procedure: the plaque index (PI)Procedure: the bleeding index (BI)Procedure: simplified gingival index(GI),

CAD/CAM milled PMMA

EXPERIMENTAL

In the second group (CAD/CAM PMMA MODs), the STL file of the designed denture base was imported into the milling machine to mill the PMMA MOD base. The mandibular denture base and set-up were virtually designed. Based on the virtually created mandibular denture bases, the CAD/CAM PMMA MOD base was milled .Based on the scanned denture teeth, denture teeth were milled from tooth-coloured prepolymerized PMMA blocks, finished and polished, and then bonded with a methacrylate-based bonding agent into the PMMA milled base.

Procedure: the plaque index (PI)Procedure: the bleeding index (BI)Procedure: simplified gingival index(GI),

conventional PMMA MOD

EXPERIMENTAL

the traditional heat-cured PMMA MOD was constructed. The waxed-up overdenture was processed in heat-cured PMMA resin using the compression mould technique.

Interventions

Peri-implant soft tissue changes as regards plaque was assessed employing the modified plaque index (PI). Patients were evaluated clinically at the time of mandibular overdenture insertion (T0), 6 months (T1), 12 months (T2) and 3 years (T3) after denture insertion. Both plaque index (PI) and bleeding index (BI) were evaluated according to the Mombelli index , and gingival index (GI) according to the modified Silness and Loe index. Measurements were taken from the buccal, lingual, mesial, and distal aspects of each implant. All the clinical parameters were measured from the four aspects using a graduated periodontal probe (Hawe Perio-Probe, Kerr), and the sum total of the four readings was divided by four to obtain the mean value. The distance between the marginal border of the peri-implant mucosa and the tip of the probe was measured and considered as pocket depth (PD).
