Trial summary

The purpose of this study is to compare the success rates of two surgical protocols. One protocol will have the implants placed at the time of tooth extraction and placed into function. The other protocol will have the implants placed into healed extraction sites and placed into function. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Immediate and Early Loading of Hydrothermally Treated, Hydroxyapatite-Coated Dental Implants:a Controlled Randomized Prospective Clinical Study

The purpose of this study is to compare the success rates of two surgical protocols. One protocol will have the implants placed at the time of tooth extraction and placed into function. The other protocol will have the implants placed into healed extraction sites and placed into function.

Read the detailed description

Forty-eight patients (22 men, 26 women) were enrolled in the study and received 48 implants. The population was divided into 2 groups: Group A implants (n=23) were loaded immediately on the day of surgery and Group B implants (n=19) were loaded 3 weeks after surgery. Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) scans were taken preoperatively to aid in treatment planning. Bone density was evaluated on CBCT scans in Hounsfield units (HU) and by tactile feedback during surgery. Insertion torque was recorded at time of implant placement. Resonance frequency analysis, performed on the day of surgery, at the time of loading, and at 6, 12 and 24 months, was used to record implant stability according to the unit's Implant Stability Quotient (Osstell ISQ). Standardized radiographs were taken at time of implant placement and at 6, 12 and 24 months to measure crestal bone stability. Bone level changes were measured by software (Image J, available online at: http://rsbweb.nih.gov/ij/download.html; last accessed 28 August 2014).

What is being measured

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

  1. Primary Endpoint Measurement: Implant survival

    The primary endpoint for this protocol is implant survival.

    Measured: 6 months

  2. Secondary Endpoint Measurements: Crestal Bone Loss, ISQ

    Implant survival

    • Crestal Bone Loss will be determined radiographically and will be defined as having occurred when greater than 1.5 mm of bone loss is evident. This endpoint will be summarized for the subgroups of the study population which are formed by stratifying on implant diameter, implant length, implant location and patient age. Rates of crestal bone loss will be computed at one year.
    • ISQ will be measured at the time of implant placement, at 5 months and at one year post implant placement. Insertion torque will be measured at time of placement only.

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Missing Tooth, run by Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center in New Orleans.

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 10 inclusion and 13 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 24 Mar 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

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?

Primary Endpoint Measurement: Implant survival (time frame: 6 months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 24 Mar 2015.
