Study Overview
Brief Summary
Objectives: Passive fit of screw retained frameworks is essential to avoid biological and mechanical failures in addition to transmission of unfavourable stresses to the bone-implant interface. However, Several factors contribute to the passive fit of screw retained prosthesis such as relative parallelism between the implants, implant number, impression material, impression technique and method of prothesis fabrication. The current study aims to evaluate the accuracy of three different impression techniques on the fit of screw retained bar splinting two inter-foraminal implants.
Methods: The study presents evaluation of the passive fit of screw retained bar fabricated with three different impression techniques.
Detailed Description
Surgical guide will be designed for completely edentulous patients. It will be inserted into the patient's mouth, stabilized against the upper denture and secured in place. dental implants will then be placed.
For bar fabrication using the first impression technique, closed-top primary impressions will be made followed by open top secondary impression. Extraoral scanning of the impression will be done followed by digital fabrication of the bar.
For bar fabrication using the second impression technique, scanning of the lower arch will be done using Omnicam intraoral scanner. Scanning will be done by a single calibrated operator who is trained on intraoral scanning techniques.
Scan bodies will be then screwed to the implants and scanning will be done. Both scans will be previewed on the computer desktop and superimposed together. A Standard tessellation language file will be then exported, downloaded and previewed in Inlab Exocad software .Implant system and the bar design will be selected from the software library. Then, the Standard tessellation Language file will be exported to the milling machine and milling of Cobalt chromium bar will be done.
For bar fabrication using the third technique, splinting of scan bodies will be done followed by intraoral scanning of the lower arch.
