Brief summary

This study was conducted to determine the effectiveness of two-implant retained polyetheretherketone (PEEK) overdentures on reducing the transmitted forces on implants placed with ridge splitting either treated with laser biostimulation or not.

Detailed description

This randomised controlled trial was executed on 18 completely edentulous patients from the Outpatient Clinic of the Faculty of Dentistry at Mansoura University in Egypt.

Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame	Description
crestal bone loss	one year	measuring marginal bone loss arround dental implants in mm by digital radiograph
plaque index	One year	score 0 = no plaque; score1 = plaque only detected with a probe; score 2 = plaque visible to the naked eye; score 3 = abundant plaque1111
bleeding index	one year	score 0: no bleeding when using a periodontal probe; score1: isolated bleeding spots visible; score 2: a confluent red line of blood along the mucosal margin; score 3: heavy or profuse bleeding).
gingival index	one year	Score 0: normal peri implant mucosa; score 1: mild inflammation, slight colour change, and slight edoema; score 2: moderate inflammation, redness, edoema, and glazing; and score 3: severe inflammation, marked redness and edoema, and ulceration.
probing depth	one year	A periodontal probe was used to measure pocket depth (PD). The distance between the marginal border of the mucosa and the tip of the periodontal probe at the base of the gingival sulcus was scored as the probing depth.
