An interventional study of Removable Partial Denture in Tooth Loss, sponsored by University Hospital Heidelberg. Recruiting at 1 site in Germany. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 75 Years, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2024-05-13.
Sponsored by University Hospital Heidelberg · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
As part of the clinical study, 25 patients each were provided with removable partial dentures with clasps made of PEEK in two centres (University Hospital Heidelberg, Department of Prosthodontics and University Hospital for Dental Prosthetics Innsbruck). The patients were examined over a period of 3 years for the number and type of technical or biological complications and questioned about their oral health-related quality of life.

Device: Removable Partial Denture
Integration of removable partial dentures made of PEEK for the treatment of tooth loss.
Oral-Health-Related Quality of Life
Improvement of Oral-Health-Related Quality of Life (OHRQoL) after incorporation of removable partial dentures made of PEEK (PEEK-RPDs) by using a short version of the validated "Oral Health Impact Profile" questionnaire with 14 questions (OHIP-G 14). A precise evaluation is obtained by adding up the 14 items with their frequency ("never"=0, "hardly"=1, "now and then"=2, "often"=3 and "very often"=4) up to a total value. This value can range from 0 (no limitation of OHRQL) to 56 (severe limitation of OHRQoL). These data are collected before treatment and 3 months after insertion of the PEEK-RPDs.
Time frame: 3 months
Biological complications
Biological complications (intolerances, damage to the abutment teeth and/or the periodontium, survival of abutment teeth) after incorporation of PEEK-RPDs. Measurement tool: Study report form. These data are collected half-yearly after insertion of the PEEK-RPDs.
Time frame: 3 years
Technical complications
Technical complications (clasp fractures, denture defects) after incorporation of PEEK-RPDs. Measurement tool: Study report form. These data are collected half-yearly after insertion of the PEEK-RPDs.
Time frame: 3 years
