What is being measured

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

  1. Rate of Implants survival

    Defined as implant mobility and/or any infection dictating implant removal, and/or implant fracture and/or any other mechanical complication rendering the implant unusable. The stability of each individual implant will be measured by the local blinded outcome assessors manually tightening the screws with a torque of 30 Ncm at abutment connection at initial loading. At 1,3 and 5 years after loading, individual implants will be manually tested for stability. Once the single crowns will be screwed, their stability will be assessed by rocking the crown with the handles of two dental instruments

    Measured: Up to 5 years

  2. Number of Participants with prosthesis failure

    Whether it will not be possible to place the prosthesis because of implant failure or a prosthesis that has to be remade for any reason.

    Measured: Up to 5 years

  3. Number of complications

    Technical (fracture of the framework and/or the veneering material, screw loosening, etc.) and/or biologic (pain, swelling, mobility, membrane exposure, suppuration) complications will be considered

    Measured: Up to 5 years

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Horizontal and volumetric dimensional changes

    CBCT scans will perform before ridge reconstruction and six months after. The Digital Imaging and Communication in Medicine (DICOM) data will export the OnDemand 3D software version 1.0.9.3223 (Cybermed Inc., Seoul, Korea) to perform all measurements. The DICOM data were manually alined basic on unchanged anatomical areas (e.g., teeth, basal skull, implants) and then automatically matched using the Fusion adjunctive module (Cybermed Inc. Seoul, Korea). Horizontal bone measure will recorded for all reconstructed ridge 2 mm below the bone crest, before and after treatment. Then, the postoperative volumetric data were subtracted to the original scenario. The new generated set of DICOM data will stored as a separately files. Volumetric measurements of grafts were performed with OnDemand 3D software (Cybermed Inc., Seoul, Korea) using the previously generated set of DICOM data.The volumes of the grafted material will calculated using automatic tools, basing on its opacity.

    Measured: 6 and 12 months

  2. Rate of peri-implant marginal bone level

    Peri-implant marginal bone level changes will be assessed on periapical radiographs took with the paralleling technique at implant placement, at initial loading, 1,3 and 5 years after loading. Ideally digital radiographs should be taken, otherwise radiographs on conventional films will be scanned into TIFF format with a 600 dpi resolution, and stored in a personal computer. Peri-implant marginal bone levels will be measured using the Scion Image (Scion Corporation, Frederick, MD, USA) software. The software will be calibrated for every single image using the known distance of the first two consecutive threads. Measurements of the mesial and distal bone crest level adjacent to each implant will be made to the nearest 0.01 mm. Reference points for the linear measurements will be: the coronal margin of the implant collar and the most coronal point of bone-to-implant contact. Bone levels will be measured.

    Measured: At 1,3 and 5 years

  3. Plaque Index and bleeping on probing

    Plaque index (PI), defined as plaque absent or present (0/1), and Bleeding on Probing (BoP), defined as bleeding on probing absent or present (0/1), will recorded 1,3 and 5 years after final prosthesis delivery. One assessor, not previously involved in the study, made all the clinical outcomes.

    Measured: At 1,3 and 5 years

  4. Valuation of patient satisfaction

    Patients will answer the following questions (separately for each implant):

    1. Are you satisfied with the function of your implant-supported prostheses? Possible answers: yes absolutely, yes partly, not sure, not really, absolutely not.
    2. Are you satisfied with the aesthetic outcome of your implant-supported prostheses? Possible answers: yes absolutely, yes partly, not sure, not really, absolutely not.
    3. Would you undergo the same therapy again? Possible answers: "yes" or "no".1) Are you satisfied with the function of your implant-supported prostheses? Possible answers: yes absolutely, yes partly, not sure, not really, absolutely not.
    4. Are you satisfied with the aesthetic outcome of your implant-supported prostheses? Possible answers: yes absolutely, yes partly, not sure, not really, absolutely not.
    5. Would you undergo the same therapy again? Possible answers: "yes" or "no".

    Measured: At 1,3 and 5 years

  5. Valuation of soft tissue thickness and amount of keratinized tissue

    The soft tissue biotype will be investigated by the same surgeon at the surgical procedures using a periodontal probe into the sulcus. Greater will be the thickness of the tissue, smaller will be transparency of the periodontal probe. The amount of keratinized tissue will be evaluated 1 year after surgical procedures using a periodontal probe. This outcome will be evaluated according to the distance from the gingival margin to the mucogingival junction

    Measured: At 1,3 and 5 years

  6. Rate of pes score

    Esthetic evaluation of occlusal and vestibular pictures will take every years after definite loading was done following the pink esthetic score (PES). In brief, the PES score evaluates seven variables: mesial papilla, distal papilla, soft tissue level, soft tissue contour, alveolar process deficiencies, soft tissue color and texture. A 0-1-2 scoring system was used, 0 being the lowest and 2 being the highest value, with a maximum achievable score of 14 per dental unit.

    Measured: At 1,3 and 5 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing A-oss and autogenous bone and A-oss an LCR-A in people with Guided Bone Regeneration and Dental Implant, run by Università degli Studi di Sassari at 1 site in Italy.

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 16 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: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Feb 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 Italy. 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?

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Rate of Implants survival (time frame: Up to 5 years). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 29 Feb 2024.
