About this study
Official title: Bone Healing at Non-submerged Implants Installed With Different Insertion Torques. A Split Mouth Histomorphometric Randomized Controlled Trial.
The objective of the study is to evaluate histomorphometrically the healing at implants installed with standard or very low insertion torque values.
Read the detailed description
Very high insertion torque values have been recommended when immediate loading is applied to implants.1 However, it has been shown that similar clinical outcomes may be achieved even with insertion torque values ≤15 Ncm when implants are splinted together. Due to the contradictory outcomes on the influence of the torque on osseointegration and a lack of histological data in humans, there is a need of more evidences that may support the clinicians in the decision making when an unintentional low insertion torque occur at implants during the daily practice. So the aim of the study i evaluate histomorphometrically the healing at implants installed in Twelve volunteer patients that will be recruited. Two screw-shaped titanium devices will be installed in the distal segments of the mandible using insertion torque values of either <10 Ncm or ~30 Ncm. The implants were left to heal in a non-submerged fashion. After 8 weeks, biopsies will be retrieved and ground sections will be prepared for histological evaluation.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
implant installationProcedure or surgery
Also called implant surgery
All site preparations will be performed deeper compared to the length of the implant so that the implant apex cannot reach the bottom of the osteotomy.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Test site (torque of <10 Ncm) | Experimental | The test sites (<10 Ncm) will be over-prepared with drills of larger diameter Receives: Procedure: implant installation |
| Control site (torque of ~30 Ncm) | Other | the standard sites (~30 Ncm)will be prepared with the corresponding drills suggested by the manufacturer Receives: Procedure: implant installation |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
New bone in contact with the implant surface
The percentages of new bone will be evaluated both in contact with the implant surface
Measured: After 8 weeks of healing
Secondary outcomes (1)
Bone density around the implant surface
The total mineralized bone will be assessed as sum of new and old bone
Measured: After 8 weeks of healing

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing implant installation in people with Edentulous; Alveolar Process, Atrophy, run by ARDEC Academy at 1 site in Colombia.
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 6 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 12 Jul 2019. 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 Colombia. 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?
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?
New bone in contact with the implant surface (time frame: After 8 weeks of healing). 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 NCT04017156, which also lists 18 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 12 Jul 2019.
