Overview

The goal of this randomized clinical trial is to compare and assess the prosthetic maintenance of two implant-retained mandibular overdentures reinforced with PEKK and Co-Cr frameworks after twelve months. Twenty-four participants were randomly assigned to two groups: Group I received a mandibular implant-retained overdenture reinforced with a Co-Cr framework, while Group II received a mandibular implant-retained overdenture reinforced with a PEKK framework. Also, both groups were rehabilitated with a maxillary complete removable denture.

Twenty-four participants with edentulous maxillary and mandibular ridges underwent meticulous selection, with two implants placed in the mandibular canine areas through a two-stage surgical technique facilitated by a radiographic and surgical stent. Following this, patients were provided with maxillary and mandibular complete removable dentures relined with soft liners. After the subsequent three-month osseointegration period, ball attachments were introduced. Patients were randomly allocated to two groups based on the type of prosthesis they received. Group I received mandibular implant-retained overdenture reinforced with the Co-Cr framework, while Group II received mandibular implant-retained overdenture reinforced with the PEKK framework, both groups received complete removable dentures for the maxillary arch. The assessment of prosthetic maintenance for mandibular implant-retained overdentures in both groups was conducted twelve months post-denture insertion.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Evaluation of Prosthetic Maintenance of both types of implant retained overdentures

Evaluation of prosthetic maintenance for mandibular implant-retained overdentures in both groups was made after twelve months of overdenture insertion. Prosthetic maintenance is a checklist for the following aspects that were inspected regarding screw (screw loosening, screw fracture), attachments (wear, distortion, fracture, replacement), and overdentures (reline, remake, fracture, teeth wear, teeth separation, or fracture).maintenance for complication assed through counting frequency of incidence. The unit of measurement used is percentage.

Time frame: twelve months after delivery of implant retained overdenture
