Pre-integration Failure of Dental ImplantPhase 2NCT02044978

Initial Fixation of Bisphosphonate-coated Dental Implants

A Phase 2 study testing Zoledronate-coated dental implant in people with Pre-integration Failure of Dental Implant, run by Per Aspenberg at 2 sites in Sweden.

Unknown status

Status not confirmed. The sponsor has not verified this record for over two years, so it may be out of date.

Trial summary

16 patients will be included. Each patient receives 2 dental implants. One of them is coated with a drug, zoledronate, to improve fixation. Fixation is measured by vibration resonance frequency analysis at insertion and 2, 4, 6 and 8 weeks after insertion.The 2 implants in each patient are compared. Read more about this study

About this study

16 patients will be included. Each patient receives 2 dental implants. One of them is coated with a drug, zoledronate, to improve fixation. Fixation is measured by vibration resonance frequency analysis at insertion and 2, 4, 6 and 8 weeks after insertion.The 2 implants in each patient are compared. We expect to find an early improvement (higher resonance frequency) in the coated implant.

Read the detailed description

The zoledronate is linked to the titanium implant surface via a nanolayer of crosslinked fibrinigen. Resonance frequency is measured with standard clinical equipment (Ostell apparatus).

Being tested
Zoledronate-coated dental implant

What is being measured

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

  1. Vibration frequency ratio

    Each patients has a study implant and a control implant. Their change vibation frequency from insertion till measurement time point is measured and the ratio between changes for the 2 implants forms the outcome measure. Avarage values for 4 and 6 weeks will be used.

    Measured: 4 and 6 weeks

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Marginal resorption

    Radiographic loss of bone at the margin of the implant, measured as difference in mm from the superficial bone contour between insertion and 8 weeks.

    Measured: 8 weeks

  2. Vibration: area under the curve

    Each patients has a study implant and a control implant. Their change vibation frequency from insertion till measurement time point is measured and the ratio between changes for the 2 implants forms the outcome measure. Avarage values for all weeks will be used.

    Measured: 2-8 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Zoledronate-coated dental implant in people with Pre-integration Failure of Dental Implant, run by Per Aspenberg at 2 sites in Sweden.

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 1 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 9 Jun 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Sweden. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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 Jahan Abtahi, MD, PhD (jahan.abtahi@lio.se), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Vibration frequency ratio (time frame: 4 and 6 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 9 Jun 2015.
