Trial summary

The overall purpose of this study is to establish an ultrasound technique to aid in oral and dental examination of soft and hard tissues. Ultrasound is currently not used in Dentistry and associated oral examinations and we are exploring its usefulness for clinical practice. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Point of Care, High Resolution and 3-Dimensional Ultrasonography for Diagnosing Peri-Implant Bone Loss

The overall purpose of this study is to establish an ultrasound technique to aid in oral and dental examination of soft and hard tissues. Ultrasound is currently not used in Dentistry and associated oral examinations and we are exploring its usefulness for clinical practice. This study will investigate the use of ultrasonic imaging for planning and placing dental implants, as well as evaluate the use of ultrasonic imaging for monitoring marginal bone loss around dental implants.

What participants receive

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

  • Ultrasound ScanDiagnostic test

    Within 90 days before the revision surgery, a calibrated examiner will ultrasonically scan the implants. The ultrasound device has been validated for its usability and design on human subjects in our recent clinical study (the University of Michigan Institutional Review Board under the number HUM00139630 and was registered with the National Institutes of Health U.S. National Library of Medicine database for clinical trials (clinicaltrials.gov) under the following identifier: NCT03558282) Coupling will be achieved with commercially available sterilized US gel (Sterile Aquasonic, Fairfield, NJ). The US probe will be mounted on an adjustable arm attached to a fixed stand. The probe is navigated by a calibrated examiner at the implant of interest and then will execute a total ±5 mm linear mesio-distal and coronal-apical translations to create 3D cross-sectional and transverse volumes, respectively and stored as an imageframe series, i.e., a DICOM format cineloop.

What is being measured

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

  1. Dental Implant bone level

    The difference between ultrasound-determined measurements and intraoperative measurements (optical scanner images as indirect measurements)

    Measured: Within 90 days before dental surgery

  2. Dental implant radicular bone thickness

    The difference between ultrasound-determined measurements and intraoperative measurements (optical scanner images as indirect measurements)

    Measured: Within 90 days before dental surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Bone Loss in Jaw and Dental Diseases, run by University of Michigan at 1 site in United States.

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 2 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 18 Oct 2023. 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 United States. 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?

Dental Implant bone level (time frame: Within 90 days before dental surgery). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT05282212, which also lists 3 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 18 Oct 2023.
