Soft Tissue Assessment in Screw-Retained Maxillary Complete Denture With Electric Welded Framework Versus Casted

Not Applicable

• Conditions: Peri-Implantitis
• Interventions: Device: casting; Device: Electric intraoral welding device

• Registration Number: NCT04543864
• Lead Sponsor: Cairo University

Brief Summary

comparing the changes in the soft tissue around the implants that will be joined by a metal framework either with electric welding or with the conventional casting method

Detailed Description

as joining multiple implants by a metal framework considered a solid solution for edentulous arches , but in the same time the conventional method to weld this metal framework to the implants by casting technique in lab usually involves a several disadvantages eg. cost and time consuming in addition to laboratory errors, Thus , this study aims to find another method to weld the metal framework intraorally by an electric welding device
