Trial summary

The prosthetic treatment with dental implants is challenging in posterior maxilla, where there is a sinus pneumatization. For the rehabilitation of patients with intermediate bone level, short implants have been used as alternative. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Short vs Standard Implants in Maxilla: a Randomized Clinical Trial

The prosthetic treatment with dental implants is challenging in posterior maxilla, where there is a sinus pneumatization. For the rehabilitation of patients with intermediate bone level, short implants have been used as alternative. It is also needed to look for the prosthetic context of rehabilitation with implants, like the use of different materials as abutments. The aim of this study is to compare the survival of two sizes of implants (short vs standard) placed in upper premolars region with need of bone graft, with a minimum of three years of follow-up, and assess the behavior of different abutments (titanium vs zirconia) in prosthesis in this context. This will be a randomized clinical trial with two groups: 1) standard implants and sinus lift; and 2) short implants without sinus lift. The patients who fulfill the inclusion criteria and accept to participate of this study, will be included in the randomization process. At the implant installation, a brown envelope, with the word SHORT or STANDARD, will be open, in order to determine the group. Abutment type will be also randomized. Four months after the installation, torque will be confirmed and the abutment will be installed. Implant failure and prosthesis failure in function of the abutment will be the outcomes. Data analysis will be conducted following a previously established spreadsheet using the Kaplan-Meier method and log rank test for success and survival, followed by Cox regression, if possible and according to the number of failures.

What participants receive

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

  • Short implantDevice

    Short implant will be placed depending on the previous randomization. For that, a surgical access will be done, and the implant will be placed, cover screw will be installed and the access closed. The patient will receive the definitive crown after five months after the short implant installation.

  • Standard implant with sinus liftDevice

    First, a surgical access will be performed, followed by sinus lift procedure. Next, a standard implant will be placed, cover screw will be installed and the access closed. The patient will receive the definitive crown after five months after the short implant installation.

What is being measured

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

  1. implant survival

    survival will be evaluated by osseointegration presence.

    Measured: five months after the implant placement

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Short implant and Standard implant with sinus lift in people with Dental Implant, run by Federal University of Pelotas at 1 site in Brazil.

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 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Nov 2018. 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 Brazil. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

implant survival (time frame: five months after the implant placement). 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 15 Nov 2018.
