Passive Fit of Implant-Supported Frameworks: Digital vs Conventional Impressions
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
IO-Connect Digital Impression: Digital impression of the mandibular arch obtained using IO-Connect non-calibrated splinted scan bodies to fabricate the implant-supported framework for Group I.
Reverse Scan Body Digital Impression: Digital impression obtained using the Reverse Scan Body (RSB) technique, involving extraoral scanning of scan bodies and superimposition with intraoral tissue scans, to fabricate the implant-supported framework for Group II.
Conventional Splinted Impression: Conventional splinted open-tray impression using polyvinyl siloxane material and Type IV dental stone to fabricate the implant-supported framework for Group III.
Study summary
This randomized crossover clinical trial compares the passivity of fit of complete-arch mandibular implant-supported frameworks fabricated using three impression techniques: a non-calibrated splinted digital scan body system (IO-Connect), a Reverse Scan Body (RSB) digital impression technique, and a conventional splinted open-tray impression technique. Eight completely edentulous patients each receiving four mandibular implants will be included. Passivity of fit will be evaluated clinically using the Sheffield one-screw test and radiographically using intraoral periapical radiographs obtained with the parallel technique.
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- Passive Fit Assessed by Sheffield One-Screw Test — The evaluation of passive fit by Sheffield one-screw test will be done 3 months after implant placement (3M-IP), at framework try-in for each of the three impression techniques.
The framework was seated on all implants and a single distal screw was fully tightened; remaining screw sites were examined visually and tactilely for lifting, rocking, or gaps as an indicator of passive fit. - Passive Fit Assessed by Periapical Radiographs — The evaluation of passive fit by periapical radiographs will be done 3 months after implant placement, at framework try-in for each of the three impression techniques.
Intraoral periapical radiographs were obtained at each implant site using a paralleling device and evaluated for microgaps at the implant-framework interface.
