About this trial
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.

Treatments tested in this trial
Conventional Prosthetic Workflow
Procedure/SurgeryFabrication 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.
Digital Jaw-Tracking Workflow
Procedure/SurgeryFabrication 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.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
1
Patient Satisfaction
Patient satisfaction will be assessed using a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) to evaluate patient satisfaction with the implant-supported prosthesis regarding comfort, chewing ability, aesthetics, and phonetics.
Time frame
At prosthesis insertion, 3 months, and 6 months after prosthesis insertionSecondary outcomes
1
Occlusal Accuracy
Occlusal accuracy will be evaluated using the OccluSense digital occlusal analysis system by assessing the distribution and stability of occlusal contact points.
