Overview

The project aims to assess the effect of a complete denture of new denture wearers on speech production using sensors placed inside a duplicate of the prosthesis according to the technique described in the PRESLA system. Secondly, it aims to assess the effect of a complete denture on swallowing for these new denture wearers. Thirdly it aims to describe a precise mapping of the mechanical pressures exerted by the tongue on the palate of complete denture user, been used in wearing denture, during speaking and swallowing. The experiments will take place in the department of treatments and dental consultations of the Hospices Civils de Lyon (Faculty of Odontology, Lyon, France).

Description

The evaluation of speech production is based on the characteristics of the pressure signal (time and frequency) and the acoustic signal after synchronization during time using duplicate with up to 8 sensors.

To reach the first objective, the investigators will focus on the patients who wear new complete denture during the first session of recording. They will first analyze the characteristics of the acoustic and pressure signals of the production of consonants. They shall select from 8 sensors, 3 sensors for the inferential analysis: a previous sensor in the alveolar zone, a median sensor in the palatal zone and a posterior sensor in the palatal area (on the border of the beginning of the soft palate). These 3 sensors will be selected on the basis of the amplitude of the variations of pressure during the task. This sensor's triplet will be specific to every patient. The investigators shall thus have after 3 sensors called: previous, median, posterior. They shall do, for every sensor's measurements and for the acoustic measures, an inferential statistical analysis based on one model shelf spaces generalized in mixed effects, in which the variable to be explained will be one of moderate variables, the fixed effects will be the session (just after wearing the prosthesis for the first time, 3 weeks later, 3 months later), the consonant, the index of the sensor (1 - 3, from the front to the back) and the index of the repetition (from 1 to 15), and where the random effect will be the patient.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
