About this study

Official title: Healing Response if Peri-implant Tissues to Different Abutment Materials - Double-blinded Randomized Clinical Trial

What is being measured

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

  1. Gingival Inflammatory Changes from baseline to 12 weeks

    measure the amount of cytokines and interleukines (interleukin-8 (IL-8), macrophage inflammatory protein-1 (MIP-1 beta), interleukin-1 (IL-1 beta), interleukin-6 (IL-6), matrix metalloproteinase-8 (MMP-8) and matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9), metallopeptidase inhibitor 1 (TIMP-1), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)), around different implant abutment materials, zirconia,titanium, acrylic, and cad-cam acrylic

    Measured: Measure - T0 Implant installation T1- 1week post-surgery T2-two weeks T3-3weeks T4-4weeks T5-6weeks T6-8weeks T7-12 weeks

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Marginal Bone Loss

    Parallel periapical standardized radiographs to measure bone position in relation to implant platform, in zirconia,titanium, acrylic, and cad-cam acrylic

    Measured: measured at 12 weeks post-implant installation

  2. Gingival height

    measure with periodontal probe distance from implant platform to the most coronal point of gingival margin mesial, distal, buccal and lingual,in zirconia,titanium, acrylic, and cad-cam acrylic

    Measured: 12 weeks post-implant installation

  3. Osseointegration

    compare survival rate of dental implants rehabilitated with zirconia,titanium, acrylic, and cad-cam acrylic abutments

    Measured: 12 weeks post-implant installation

  4. Height from gingiva to abutment

    height from gingival margin to most coronal point of the abutment in zirconia, titanium, acrylic and acrylic cad-cam abutments

    Measured: 12 weeks post implant installation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing dental implants, Zirconia abutments and Titanium Abutments in people with Bone Loss and Inflammation, run by Implantology Institute at 1 site in Portugal.

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 8 inclusion and 8 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 May 2017. 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 Portugal. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Gingival Inflammatory Changes from baseline to 12 weeks (time frame: Measure - T0 Implant installation T1- 1week post-surgery T2-two weeks T3-3weeks T4-4weeks T5-6weeks T6-8weeks T7-12 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 2 May 2017.
