About this study

Official title: Observational, Case-Series Study Evaluation of Bone Width and Dental Implant Stability When Using the Densah Bur™ Bone Compaction Process to Prepare Dental Implant Sites

The primary objective of this study is to determine if the use of a bone compaction process (osseodensification) (Densah™ bur: Versah Osseodensification Company™) to prepare dental implant sites, in human subjects, results in increased bone-ridge width, increased compact bone in the outer wall of the prepared sites, and dental implant stability.

Read the detailed description

The proposed project will be an observational, case-series study. The investigators anticipate enrolling 40 study subjects. Treatment Procedures: Following initial treatment planning discussions between the dentists and their patients regarding all of their dental treatment options, those patients who opt to have dental implants placed will be approached to discuss participation in the current study. Before entry into the study, the Investigator or an authorized member of the investigational staff will explain to potential subjects the aims, methods, reasonable anticipated benefits, and potential hazards of the study, and any discomfort it may entail. Subjects will be informed that their participation is voluntary and that they may withdraw consent to participate at any time. They will be informed that choosing not to participate will not affect the care the subject will receive for the treatment of their condition. Subjects will be told that alternative treatments are available and that if they decline to take part in the present study that such a refusal will not prejudice future treatment. Those patients who are willing to participate will be scheduled for their initial and follow-up dental implant visits at the School of Dentistry. At the baseline visit the study outcome data will be collected; including: 1) measuring the bone-ridge width, before and after implant site preparation (drilling); 2) intraoral photographs of the prepared opening; 3) dental implant torque readings will be obtained; and 4) ISQ as measure of both initial and the dynamic development of osseointegration (the formation of a direct interface between the dental implant and bone) over time. The ISQ measurements will be collected again at three and six-weeks post treatment.

What participants receive

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

  • Densah Bur™ , osseodensificationDevice

    Also called Versah Osseodensification Company™

    Densah™ bur (Versah Osseodensification Company™) is used to prepare dental implant sites, in human subjects, by compacting (osseodensification ) bone vs. removing bone to create the opening in the jaw bone into which the dental implant is then placed. This osseodensification process results in increased bone-ridge width, increased compact bone in the outer wall of the prepared sites, and; it is believed, increases implant stability.

What is being measured

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

  1. Bone-ridge width before and immediately after preparation of the implant site when using the Densah Bur.

    The width of the bony ridge into which the dental implant will be placed will be measured immediately before drilling the opening with the Densah Bur and then again following completion of drilling but before the dental implant is placed into the prepared opening. These measurements will occur at the time of the implant surgery.

    Measured: intraoperative

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. insertion torque value (ITV)

    ITV is a measure of the rotational friction between the implant and the surrounding bone

    Measured: intraoperative

  2. implant stability quotient (ISQ)

    ISQ uses resonance frequency analysis to determine if the newly prepared implant site is stable enough for immediate or early loading of the actual dental implant.

    Measured: intraoperative , at 3 weeks and 6 weeks post surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Missing Teeth, run by University of Minnesota at 1 site in United States.

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 4 inclusion and 10 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Jun 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 United States. 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 was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Bone-ridge width before and immediately after preparation of the implant site when using the Densah Bur. (time frame: intraoperative). 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 20 Jun 2017.
