About this study

Official title: Associations Between Sleep Bruxism and (Peri-)Implant Complications: a Follow-up Study

Excessive mechanical forces can cause complications of dental implants and their suprastructures (crowns and bridges), and can possibly be destructive for the bone and soft tissues around the implants. Sleep bruxism (grinding and clenching of the teeth during sleep) is considered as an important source of mechanical forces in the oral environment. Therefore, in this study, the investigators will investigate whether sleep bruxism is associated with implant and peri-implant complications.

Being tested
Electromyographic recording of temporalis muscle activity during sleep, Vertical bitewing radiograph, Collection of biofilm sample
Medical subject headings
Sleep Bruxism

What participants receive

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

  • Electromyographic recording of temporalis muscle activity during sleepDevice

    Electromyographic recording of temporalis muscle activity during sleep. In total, 9 sleep recordings will be done at the home setting of each participant.

    1. 3 recordings after the baseline visit
    2. 3 recordings 6 weeks after the baseline visit
    3. 3 recordings one year after the baseline visit
  • Vertical bitewing radiographRadiation

    An intraoral vertical bitewing radiograph will be performed with the assistance of individually modified plate positioning devices at each visit (in total 8 visits during the 2-year follow-up period).

  • Collection of biofilm sampleOther

    Collection of peri-implant intrasulcular biofilm sample for DNA analysis of the biofilm composition. In total, samples will be collected three times:

    1. At the baseline visit
    2. Three months after the baseline visit
    3. One year after the baseline visit

What is being measured

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

  1. Progression of peri-implant marginal bone loss (in mm) during a two-year follow-up period, assessed by intraoral radiographs.

    Measured: Baseline, two weeks, six weeks, three months, one year, two years.

  2. Changes in the modified Gingival Index during a two-year follow-up period, assessed by probing.

    Measured: Baseline, two weeks, six weeks, three months, one year, two years.

  3. Changes in the peri-implant clinical pocket depth (in mm) during a two-year follow-up period, assessed by probing.

    Measured: Baseline, two weeks, six weeks, three months, one year, two years.

  4. Changes in implant mobility (mobility present or not) during a two-year follow-up period, assessed by clinical examination.

    Measured: Baseline, two weeks, six weeks, three months, one year, two years.

  5. Occurrence and type of implant technical complications, assessed by clinical examination.

    Measured: Six weeks, three months, one year, two years.

  6. Changes in the peri-implant attachment level (in mm) during a two-year follow-up period, assessed by probing.

    Measured: Baseline, two weeks, six weeks, three months, one year, two years.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Dental Implant Complications and Sleep Bruxism, run by Frank Lobbezoo at 1 site in Netherlands.

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 2 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 10 Jul 2019. 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 Netherlands. 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?

Progression of peri-implant marginal bone loss (in mm) during a two-year follow-up period, assessed by intraoral radiographs. (time frame: Baseline, two weeks, six weeks, three months, one year, two years.). The study lists 6 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 10 Jul 2019.
