About this study

Official title: Peri Implant Soft Tissue Healing in Single Implant Restoration Using the Guided Bone Regeneration Technique Ore a Connective Tissue Graft

The aim of the present study was to propose the employment of Bio-Oss® and Bio-Gide® at implant site in order to evaluate if the increased bucco-lingual bone thickness could enhance the stability of peri implant soft tissue, when compared to the grafting technique ( bilaminar technique), performed in association with implant placement .

Read the detailed description

With respect to the soft tissue management many surgical approaches have been described in order to increase soft tissue volume and keratinized tissue height at implant site: roll flaps, connective tissue graft , epithelial connective tissue graft. In recent years, soft tissue substitutes , such as acellular dermal matrix or collagen matrix have been proposed to increase the dimensions of peri implant soft tissues; however, further studies have demonstrated that the allograft materials were less effective and less predictable than autogenous soft tissue grafts, in terms of increasing attached keratinized tissue , due to the considerable shrinkage and inconsistent quality of the attached tissue gained ; consequently soft tissue graft from the palate are currently considered the gold standard for augmenting peri implant soft. Some clinical studies proposed the association of contour augmentation by guided bone regeneration (GBR) with implant placement. The aim of these procedures is to restore the missing volume and to establish a facial bone wall of sufficient height and thickness to serve as a support for peri implant soft tissues; in these terms, GBR could be considered important to increase the stability of peri implant soft tissue , preventing the marginal soft tissue shrinkage and the following exposition of implant . This could be a valid approach to stabilize coronal peri implant soft tissue and at the same time less traumatic than grafting procedures.

What is being measured

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

  1. change from baseline in the clinical characteristics of the peri implant mucosa

    Buccal mucosa thickness was assessed with a calibrated endodontic file, 2 mm apical to the bone crest

    Measured: one month and one year after the placement of the definitive crowns

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Change from baseline in probing pocket depth recorded at both mesial and distal tooth , adjacent to the implant site, by means of a periodontal probe

    Measured: one month and one year after the placement of the definitive crowns

  2. change from baseline in height of keratinised tissue recorded at both mesial and distal tooth , adjacent to the implant site , by means of a periodontal probe

    Measured: one month and one year after the placement of the definitive crowns

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing augmentation procedure with Bio-Oss® and Bio-Gide® and augmentation procedure with connective tissue graft in people with Oral Soft Tissue Conditions, run by University of Firenze and Siena, Napoli, Italy at 2 sites in Italy.

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 2 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 31 Jul 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 Italy. 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.

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?

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?

change from baseline in the clinical characteristics of the peri implant mucosa (time frame: one month and one year after the placement of the definitive crowns). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02513368, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 31 Jul 2015.
