About this study

The aim of this study was to investigate the therapeutic effect of sloped dental implants. It can reduce the need of osteoectomy, reduce discomfort of procedures, and is easier for maintenance.

Read the detailed description

20 OsseoSpeed ™ Profile EV and 20 OsseoSpeed ™ EV groups will be randomly implanted into the oblique edentulous ridges of subjects, and the treatment response will be monitored for 3 years. The implantation area will be randomly divided into two groups, One group was treated with OsseoSpeed ™ Profile EV (sloped group) and the other group was treated with OsseoSpeed ™ EV (control group). The same patient had the same implant as the same quadrant.

The patient will be followed up regularly for follow-up, followed by clinical attachment level, probing depth, bleeding on probing, keratinized gingival width (Keratinized gingiva), mobility (mobility) and other clinical indicators of the measurement, regular dental radiography, gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) collection and bone integration measurement.

After six months of implantation, prosthesis will delivered and loaded functionally, and regular follow-up will be arranged. In each time of follow-up, examination will be carried out with regards to periodontal pocket depth, clinical attachment height, periodontal bleeding index, keratinized gingival width, and other clinical indicators of the measurement, at the end of the experiment, that is, after three years, and then a dental root film irradiation, GCF collection and osseointegration measurement.

What is being measured

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

  1. Clinical assessment of the status of osseointegration

    radiographic bone level, bone consolidation index (ISQ)

    Measured: up to 3 years

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. The health status of adjacent teeth

    radiographic bone level, clinical attachment level, pocket depth, periodontal bleeding (bleeding on probing), keratinized gingival width (masticatory mucosa width)

    Measured: 0 day, 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, 3 years

  2. The peri-implant health

    radiographic bone level, clinical attachment level, pocket depth, periodontal bleeding (bleeding on probing), keratinized gingival width (masticatory mucosa width)

    Measured: 1 year, 2 years, 3 years

  3. Biomarkers in the gingival crevicular fluid of adjacent teeth

    Inflammatory markers such as Interleukin-1 beta, matrix metalloproteinase-8, Interleukin-8, or Interleukin-10

    Measured: 0 day, 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, 3 years

  4. Biomarkers in the gingival crevicular fluid of dental implant

    Inflammatory markers such as Interleukin-1 beta, matrix metalloproteinase-8, Interleukin-8, or Interleukin-10

    Measured: 1 year, 2 years, 3 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Sloped in people with Atrophy of Edentulous Alveolar Ridge, run by National Taiwan University Hospital at 1 site in Taiwan.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

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 1 Jun 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 Taiwan. 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. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Po-Chun Chang (02-23123456 ext. 67709, changpc@ntu.edu.tw), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Clinical assessment of the status of osseointegration (time frame: up to 3 years). 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 1 Jun 2018.
