Jaw Tracking Impact on Occlusion and Patient Outcomes in Maxillary Implant Restorations

Jaw Tracking Impact on Occlusion and Patient Outcomes in Maxillary Implant Restorations: Randomized Clinical Trial

Sponsor

Mansoura University

Enrollment

20 participants

Start Date

Dec 25, 2025

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Complete maxillary edentulism Edentulism

Summary

This randomized clinical trial aims to evaluate the effect of integrating digital jaw tracking into the workflow for fabrication of full-arch maxillary implant-supported screw-retained restorations. Twenty completely edentulous maxillary patients opposing natural mandibular dentition will be randomly assigned to either a conventional workflow group or a digital jaw-tracking workflow group. The study will compare patient satisfaction and occlusal accuracy between the two groups. Patient satisfaction will be assessed using a visual analogue scale (VAS), while occlusal accuracy will be evaluated using the OccluSense system.

Eligibility

Min Age: 50 YearsMax Age: 70 Years

Inclusion Criteria5

Male or female patients aged 50 to 70 years.
Completely edentulous maxillary arch opposing natural mandibular dentition.
Skeletal Class I maxillomandibular relationship with normal occlusion.
Acceptable oral hygiene.
Willing and able to provide written informed consent and comply with study procedures.

Exclusion Criteria3

Systemic diseases affecting bone healing, such as uncontrolled diabetes mellitus or osteoporosis.
Harmful oral habits, including smoking, clenching, or bruxism.
Uncooperative patients or patients unable to comply with study procedures.

Interventions

PROCEDUREConventional Prosthetic Workflow

Fabrication of a full-arch maxillary implant-supported screw-retained prosthesis using conventional jaw relation records, a facebow or average-value articulator, and conventional occlusal adjustment procedures.

PROCEDUREDigital Jaw-Tracking Workflow

Fabrication of a full-arch maxillary implant-supported screw-retained prosthesis using a digital workflow with dynamic jaw tracking, virtual articulator integration, and CAD/CAM technology for patient-specific occlusal design.
