About this study

Official title: Effect of Hyaluronic Acid on Peri-implant Pathology: A Double-blind, Randomized, Controlled Clinical Trial.

The effect of the hyaluronic acid treatment on peri-implantitis has not been tested. The aim was to analyze the effect of a hyaluronic acid-containing gel on the clinical variables and the expression of biochemical inflammatory markers in the crevicular fluid of implants receiving perimplantitis treatment.

Read the detailed description

The aim was to analyze the effect of a hyaluronic acid-containing gel on the clinical variables and the expression of biochemical inflammatory markers in the crevicular fluid of implants receiving perimplantitis treatment.

A randomized, controlled, double-blind clinical trial was designed on 100 perimplantitis affected implants placed in 61 subjects. Inclusion criteria were implants with at least 1 year of functional loading and with diagnosis of perimplantitis following the criteria from the Association of Dental Implantology. All implant received perimplantitis treatment. Each patient was randomly assigned to receive a gel containing 0.8% HA (Test group), a gel without HA (Placebo group) or no gel treatment (Control group). After a first gel application at baseline, test and placebo patients performed gel applications at home 3 times/day for 45 days. Clinical variables of each implant were recorded at baseline, 45 and 90 days (probing depth, attachment loss, bleeding). Intraoral radiographs of each implants were performed to measure marginal bone level. Peri-implant crevicular fluid was collected from each implant at baseline and after 45 days of treatment, to assess IL-1β and TNFα levels by ELISA technique. Clustering analysis, considering multiple implants within each patient, was performed.

What participants receive

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

  • Hyaluronic AcidDrug

    Also called HA

    Hyaluronic acid gel application as coadjuvant in the treatment of perimplantitis.

  • Hydroxypropyl GuarDrug

    Also called Control 1

    Hydroxypropyl Guar gel application as sham comparator

What is being measured

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

  1. Peri-implant probing depth

    Probing depth (mm) assessed by periodontal probe.

    Measured: Baseline, change at 45 days and at 90 days.

  2. Peri-implant attachment level

    Probing attachment level (mm) calculated using probing depth and exposed implant threads.

    Measured: Baseline, change at 45 days and at 90 days.

  3. Peri-implant bleeding

    Bleeding on probing expressed as % of bleeding implants in each group.

    Measured: Baseline, change at 45 days and at 90 days.

  4. Marginal Bone level

    Alveolar bone level assesed in periapical digital radiographs by image processing software (ImageJ).

    Measured: Baseline, change at 45 days and at 90 days.

  5. Peri-implant crevicular fluid cytokines.

    Inflammatory cytokines (IL1B and TNFa) measured in Peri-implant crevicular fluid by ELISA.

    Measured: Baseline and change at 45 days.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Hyaluronic Acid and Hydroxypropyl Guar in people with Peri-Implantitis, run by Universidad de Granada.

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 4 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 17 May 2017. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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?

Peri-implant probing depth (time frame: Baseline, change at 45 days and at 90 days.). The study lists 5 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT03157193, 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 17 May 2017.
