Trial summary

Subjects were assigned in two groups: In group 1, subjects received LLL and LED 20 min/day for 10 days after implant insertion, subjects in group 2did not undergo LLL and LED. implant stability quotients(ISQs) were measured in 0,10,21,42 and 63 days after implant placement.

About this study

Official title: Use Low-Level Laser and Light-Emitting Diodes in Dental Implants

Subjects were assigned in two groups: In group 1, subjects received LLL and LED 20 min/day for 10 days after implant insertion, subjects in group 2did not undergo LLL and LED. implant stability quotients(ISQs) were measured in 0,10,21,42 and 63 days after implant placement.

Read the detailed description

Subjects eligible for study inclusion had an edentulous area at the first molar of the mandible and needed a dental implant. Subjects were excluded from study enrollment if they had any diseases that affect bone, smoking, insufficient bone in the edentulous area which needs bone augmentation, failed to return for follow-up, or refused study enrollment.

All implants were placed at least 3 months after tooth removal. The size of implants was 4.8X 10 mm (Zimmer, USA) Subjects were aligned based on computer randomization in two groups: In group 1(intervention), subjects received LLL and LED after implant placement and in group 2 (control) the same device was used while device was off.

A portable device was applied for irradiation of the intervention group with combination of 810nm laser and 632nm LED.

Subjects in group 1 underwent LLL 15 mw/cm2 and LED 10 mw/cm2 20 min every day for 10 days.

The mesiodistal and buccolingual directions were measured and the mean implant stability quotients (ISQs) were determined. The RFA measurements were performed in immediate after insertion (time0) 10 days (time1), 3 weeks (time2), 6 weeks(time3) and 9(time 4) weeks after implant placement.

What participants receive

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

  • Low-Level Laser and Light-Emitting DiodesDevice

    Combination of Low-Level Laser and Light-Emitting Diodes were used after dental implant placement for enhancement of stability

  • Dental implant placementDevice

    A dental implant with 4.8X 10 mm (Zimmer, USA) size was placed at the posterior of the mandible

What is being measured

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

  1. Resonance frequency analysis

    The stability of the implants was evaluated with resonance frequency analysis by the Osstell device

    Measured: Immidate after implant placement (time 0)

  2. Resonance frequency analysis

    The stability of the implants was evaluated with resonance frequency analysis by the Osstell device

    Measured: 10 days (time1) after implant placement

  3. Resonance frequency analysis

    The stability of the implants was evaluated with resonance frequency analysis by the Osstell device

    Measured: Three weeks after implant placement (time 2)

  4. Resonance frequency analysis

    The stability of the implants was evaluated with resonance frequency analysis by the Osstell device

    Measured: Six weeks after implant placement (time 3)

  5. Resonance frequency analysis

    The stability of the implants was evaluated with resonance frequency analysis by the Osstell device

    Measured: Nine weeks after implant placement(time 4)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Low-Level Laser and Light-Emitting Diodes and Dental implant placement in people with Dental Implant Healing, run by Shiraz University of Medical Sciences.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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 5 Dec 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.

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?

Resonance frequency analysis (time frame: Immidate after implant placement (time 0)). 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?
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 5 Dec 2017.
