About this study

Official title: A Multi-Center, Prospective, Single Cohort, Post-Market Clinical Follow-Up (PMCF) Study to Assess Implant Survival After Insertion of Straumann® Bone Level Tapered (BLT) Implant Ø 2.9 mm in the Clinical Practice Setting

The Straumann Bone Level Tapered (BLT) implant Ø 2.9 mm implant was developed to allow treatment of patients with single tooth gaps of small dimensions in the lateral and central incisor positions in the mandible and in the lateral incisor positions in the maxilla. These positions are reduced-load-bearing compared to more posterior positions.

During this study performance and safety of the Straumann BLT implants Ø 2.9 mm in the clinical practice setting will be investigated.

Read the detailed description

This is a multi-center, prospective, single cohort, post-market clinical follow-up (PMCF) study. The total study duration for each patient should be 12 ± 1 months.

Straumann BLT implants Ø 2.9 mm will be placed in central and lateral incisors in the mandible and lateral incisors in the maxilla for single tooth replacement, followed by provisional prosthetic loading after 6 ± 2 weeks and by final prosthetic loading 4 ± 1 months after implant placements.

In total 7 visits per patient are scheduled in this study. Implant survival, PES, implant success, bone level changes and adverse events (AEs) will be assessed.

The investigational device is a CE-(Conformité Européenne, meaning European Conformity) marked product. Straumann BLT implants Ø 2.9 mm Roxolid SLActive (sand blasted, large grit, acid etched surface) are available in lengths of 10, 12 and 14 mm.

Four centers in Germany will participate. The study and any amendments will be performed as far as possible according to International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 14155 and conform to the Declaration of Helsinki (last revision Fortaleza 2013) and local legal and regulatory requirements.

What is being measured

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

  1. Implant Survival Rate at 12 Months After Implant Placement

    A "surviving implant" is an implant stably inserted in the subject's jaw bone at the time of assessment.

    Measured: 12 months after implant placement

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Pink Esthetic Score (PES) at 6 Months After Implant Placement

    The Pink esthetic score allows an objective evaluation of peri-implant soft tissue of single tooth implants based on 7 variables and is highly reproducible. Each variable will be assessed using a 0-1-2 scoring system; 0 being the lowest, and 2 being the highest value. The minimum achievable PES is 0 and the maximum score is 14. The higher the value, the better the outcome.

    Measured: 6 months after implant placement

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 5 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 31 Aug 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 sites in Germany. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 17 Sep 2020). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Implant Survival Rate at 12 Months After Implant Placement (time frame: 12 months after implant placement). 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 NCT02699866, which also lists 14 linked publications.

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?
