About this study

Official title: Clinical and Radiographic Evaluation of Marginal Bone Changes Around Platform-switching Implants Placed in Crestal or Subcrestal Positions: a Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial

The objective of this randomized controlled trial is to evaluate changes in marginal bone levels and soft tissue dimensions around implants placed with the IAI at different positions in relation to the alveolar crest

Read the detailed description

The objective of this randomized controlled trial is to evaluate changes in marginal bone levels and soft tissue dimensions around implants placed with the IAI at different positions in relation to the alveolar crest. Subjects will be included with the absence of 2-4 teeth in the posterior region of the maxilla or mandibular. Twenty patients will be recruited. Two implant placement depths, equicrestal and subcrestal, were randomly assigned to two sites of each patient with a predefined randomization tables (one crestal implant and one subcrestal implant). Patients will be recalled for oral hygiene maintenance and prosthetic controls at 1year, 3 years, 5 years after final restoration.

What participants receive

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

  • CrestalProcedure or surgery

    Subjects will be included with the absence of 2-4 teeth in the posterior region of the maxilla or mandibular. Twenty patients will be recruited. Two implant placement depths, equicrestal and subcrestal, were randomly assigned to two sites of each patient with a predefined randomization tables (one crestal implant and one subcrestal implant).

  • SubcrestalProcedure or surgery

    Subjects will be included with the absence of 2-4 teeth in the posterior region of the maxilla or mandibular. Twenty patients will be recruited. Two implant placement depths, equicrestal and subcrestal, were randomly assigned to two sites of each patient with a predefined randomization tables (one crestal implant and one subcrestal implant).

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
CrestalExperimentalImplants were placed with the implant-abutment interface(IAI) at the level of the the alveolar ridge
Receives: Procedure: Crestal
SubcrestalExperimentalImplants were placed with the implant-abutment interface(IAI) 1 mm below the level of the alveolar ridge
Receives: Procedure: Subcrestal

What is being measured

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

  1. Marginal bone loss(MBL)

    Baseline will be recorded at the time of implantation. Margin bone loss(MBL) will be recorded at 0 day, 4 months, 1 year and 3 years after implant placement.

    Measured: Change from baseline up to 5 years after implantation

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Cumulative survival rate (CSR)

    Cumulative survival rate will be assessed at final restoration, 1 year, 3 years, 5 years after final restoration

    Measured: Up to 5 years after final restoration

  2. Pocket probing depth (PPD)

    Pocket probing depth will be assessed at 1 year, 3 years, 5 years after final restoration

    Measured: Up to 5 years after final restoration

  3. Plaque index (PI)

    Plaque index will be assessed at 1 year, 3 years, 5 years after final restoration

    Measured: Up to 5 years after final restoration

  4. Bleeding on probing (BOP)

    Bleeding on probing will be assessed at 1 year, 3 years, 5 years after final restoration

    Measured: Up to 5 years after final restoration

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Crestal and Subcrestal in people with Jaw, Edentulous and Partial Edentulism, run by Sun Yat-sen University at 1 site in China.

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 3 inclusion and 5 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 20 Apr 2022. 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 China. 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?

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?

Marginal bone loss(MBL) (time frame: Change from baseline up to 5 years after implantation). 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 NCT03806608, which also lists 4 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?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 20 Apr 2022.
