About this study

Official title: Incidence of Peri-implant Mucositis in Patients With Treated Periodontitis: a Prospective Study.

the objective of this study is to determine the incidence of peri-implant mucositis in patients with treated periodontitis and enrolled in periodontal maintenance and to evaluate the associated risk indicators. An analytical prospective observational study will be carried out, with an initial follow-up of 12 months.

Read the detailed description

Introduction: Peri-implant mucositis (PM) is an inflammatory disease induced by the accumulation of bacteria (biofilm) around dental implants, which can be modulated by individual characteristics of the patient, as well as by numerous factors related to a greater accumulation of biofilm in peri-implant tissues. Without correct regular maintenance, this entity can progress to peri-implantitis, a disease in which there is loss of bone supporting the implant. However, the strength of the association of the factors with the appearance of PM remains weak and incidence studies are limited due to their design and methodological inconsistencies. Therefore, the objective of this study is to determine the incidence of PM in patients with treated periodontitis and enrolled in periodontal maintenance and to evaluate the associated risk indicators.

Material and method: An analytical prospective observational study will be carried out, with an initial follow-up of 12 months. Patients with treated periodontitis and enrolled in periodontal maintenance will be selected, consecutively. They need to have implants placed in the Periodontics Specialist Clinic and are going to be rehabilitated at the UCM School of Dentistry. Peri-implant and periodontal clinical records, radiographic records, demographic variables, patient-based variables, and submucosal microbiological samples will be taken on the day of crown placement and after 6 and 12 months. The calculation of the sample size estimates the need to recruit 227 patients. The results will be analyzed using regression models.

What participants receive

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

  • Supportive periodontal and periimplant careOther

    Periodontal and peri-implant maintenance therapy will be carried out at baseline, 3 and 6-month visit. This session will include the removal of biofilm and calculus on teeth and implants (except those that have just been restored) with an ultrasonic device using a plastic tip ( for implants. and a conventional metal tip ( for teeth. At the end, polishing will be done with a rubber cup

    Subsequently, patients will be explained that they must continue with their usual oral hygiene technique on their teeth, using the same type of brush (which can be electric or manual), interproximal devices, toothpaste or mouthwash used to date. Finally, they will receive specific instructions for the supragingival biofilm control in the area of the new restoration and will be given interdental brushes that suit to the space

  42. Emergence angle and profile (concave/straight or convex) of restorations

    The angle of the restoration will be measured mesial and distal according to the criteria established by Yotnuengnit et al. (Yotnuengnit et al., 2008). The emergence of the angle will be calculated between the length of the major axis of the implant and the tangent line to the restoration, then a tangential line is made from the restoration to the platform, the intersection angle is measured as an emergency angle. These measurements will be repeated twice for each mesial and distal surface. Each emergence profile will be categorized as concave, straight, or convex. For implants placed at bone level, the transmucosal abutment will be considered as a part of the restoration. According to this criterion, restorations with at least a 30º angle will be considered "over-contoured" (Kohal et al., 2003). Concave, convex and straight profile categories will awarded according to this emergency.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Peri-implant Mucositis, run by Universidad Complutense de Madrid at 1 site in Spain.

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 6 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Dec 2024. 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 Spain. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Contact Elena F Figuero, Prof. (0034913942186, elfiguer@ucm.es), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Incidence of peri-implant mucositis (time frame: 12 months). 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 12 Dec 2024.
