Jaw Tracking Impact on Occlusion and Patient Outcomes in Maxillary Implant Restorations

Condition(s) studied

Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

Conventional Prosthetic Workflow: Fabrication of a full-arch maxillary implant-supported screw-retained prosthesis using conventional jaw relation records, a facebow or average-value articulator, and conventional occlusal adjustment procedures.

Digital Jaw-Tracking Workflow: Fabrication of a full-arch maxillary implant-supported screw-retained prosthesis using a digital workflow with dynamic jaw tracking, virtual articulator integration, and CAD/CAM technology for patient-specific occlusal design.

Study summary

This randomized clinical trial aims to evaluate the effect of integrating digital jaw tracking into the workflow for fabrication of full-arch maxillary implant-supported screw-retained restorations. Twenty completely edentulous maxillary patients opposing natural mandibular dentition will be randomly assigned to either a conventional workflow group or a digital jaw-tracking workflow group. The study will compare patient satisfaction and occlusal accuracy between the two groups. Patient satisfaction will be assessed using a visual analogue scale (VAS), while occlusal accuracy will be evaluated using the OccluSense system.

Eligibility

Primary outcome measure(s)

• Patient Satisfaction — At prosthesis insertion, 3 months, and 6 months after prosthesis insertion
  Patient satisfaction will be assessed using a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) to evaluate patient satisfaction with the implant-supported prosthesis regarding comfort, chewing ability, aesthetics, and phonetics.
