Trial summary

Study hypothesis: Low level laser (LED) will reduce initial bone resorption and improve primary stability of dental implant. It will also reduces post operative pain compared to patient without treatment Implant osseointegration depends on many factors including biocompatibility of implant materials, design, surface… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Role of Light Emitting Diode on Implant Stability, Bone Resorption and Analgesia Post Dental Implant Placement

Study hypothesis: Low level laser (LED) will reduce initial bone resorption and improve primary stability of dental implant. It will also reduces post operative pain compared to patient without treatment

Implant osseointegration depends on many factors including biocompatibility of implant materials, design, surface, surgical access, patient conditions, biomechanical status, and lack of primary stability.

Several in vivo and in vitro studies showed the healing effect of low level laser therapy (LLLT) on bone by decreasing the initial bone resorption postoperatively and increasing the primary stability of the implant. It has also shown to have an analgesic effect intraorally when used post intraoral surgical procedures. The exact mechanism is unclear despite the fact that many hypothesis has been proposed.

In our study, our goal is to present, in a randomized standardized clinical trial, the effect of LLLT on post operative implant stability assessed by resonance frequency analysis (RFA). We will assess the subjective measures of postoperative pain using visual analog scale (VAS).

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • OsseoPulse device (Light emitting diode technology)Device

    Also called Device by Biolux Lic# 77929 (Approved by Health Canada)

    Patients in this group will be given the LED device and will be instructed on how and when to use it. They will receive LED treatment to the surgical site preoperatively by the surgeon for 20 minutes. Then, patients in this group will apply LED at home to the surgical site postoperatively at the day of surgery and for the following 9 postoperative days.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Implant stability

    Implant stability and bone quality will be assessed via RFA technology using Ostelle device (Resonance Frequency Analysis technology)

    Measured: Immediately post-op, 1, 2, 4, and 8 weeks

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Post-op analgesics

    Analgesia will be assessed using a combination of VAS and categorical scale. Patient will fill a pre-printed form with the modified VAS every 3 hours at the day of surgery, and every morning and at night for 7 days. Pt. will also reports the time and the dose of analgesics they are taking post operatively to control pain in that form. Patients will submit all the data to the surgeons at the 1-week follow-up appointment

    Measured: Every 3 hours the day of the surgery post-op, then every morning, and at bed time for the following 7 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing OsseoPulse device (Light emitting diode technology) in people with Implant and Analgesia, run by Mount Sinai Hospital, Canada at 1 site in Canada.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Apr 2010. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Canada. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Mahdi Ghuloom, DDS (+14169958897, mahdidds@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Implant stability (time frame: Immediately post-op, 1, 2, 4, and 8 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 1 Apr 2010.
