Effect of Scanning Technology on the Accuracy of Digitally Customized Intraradicular Attachments

NCT07403851 | Not Yet Recruiting

• 1 other identifier: Effect of Scanning Technology
• Study Type: interventional
• Target: 60

Brief Summary

This study aims to evaluate the accuracy of intra-radicular attachments fabricated by direct scanning using three different scanners in vivo. The primary outcome will be the accuracy of the fabricated attachments, while secondary outcomes will includepatient-reported comfort during procedure of taking intraradicular attachment conventional impression and direct scanning.

Conditions

Scanning Devices

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Accuracy

  measure accuracy between the dimension of the prepared canal gained by intra-radicular impression and the dimension of the prepared canal directly by two different types of intraoral scanners

  Immediately after scanning.

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• Patient-reported comfort

  Immediately after impression taking and scanning.

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 18 Years - 65 Years
• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: Yes
• Age Groups: Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

• Patients aged 18-65 years.
• Endodontically treated teeth requiring intra-radicular attachments.
• Adequate oral hygiene .
• Periodontally Compromised Teeth: When some teeth have reduced bone support but can still be maintained as overdenture abutments with proper treatment.

You may not qualify if:

• Severely Compromised Remaining Teeth: If the remaining teeth have poor prognosis due to extensive decay or severe periodontal disease.
• Severe Bone Loss Around Abutment Teeth: If the remaining teeth do not provide adequate support, they may fail early, leading to additional complications.
• Severe Malocclusion: Where occlusal discrepancies make overdenture placement difficult.
• Limited inter-arch Space: cann't accommodate the overdenture components. 5 . Poor Oral Hygiene: increase the risk of decay or periodontal issues in retained abutments.
