About this study

Official title: Marginal Bone Loss Around Mandibular Implant-retaining Overdentures and Implant Supported Fixed Hybrid Prosthesis: A 5-year Follow-up

Few if any studies have compared marginal bone loss (MBL) around implant-retaining overdentures (2 implants with locators) versus implant supported fixed hybrid prosthesis (over 4 implants) in the mandible.

Read the detailed description

Material and Methods: Patients of the saint Joseph university dental clinics, who have already in their records peri-apical radiographs of the implants post loading, will be divided in 2 groups depending on the prosthetic treatment that they have had for 5 years in mouth, and will be recalled for a check-up session during which the investigators will take new peri-apical X-rays by means of the parallel long-cone technique for the implants that are supporting/retaining the prosthesis. A total of minimum 50 implants placed in a minimum of 19 patients will be examined. The mean mesial and distal radiographic MBL and bone to implant contact (BIC) will be recorded by comparing the two X-rays for each implant.

the investigators will also investigate the possibly related factors that may have contributed to this marginal bone loss such as the medical history, smoking habits, oral hygiene, compliance, presence of keratinized tissue and possibility of proper cleaning.

Results: the investigators aim to find a statistically significant difference in the Marginal bone loss around implants assisting these two types of prosthesis and a possible correlation with some risk and modifying factors.

    patient attending the recall sessions or no

    Measured: 5 years

  3. keratinized tissue hight

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Bone Loss in Jaw and Dental Implant Failure Nos, run by Saint-Joseph University at 1 site in Lebanon.

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 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Jul 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 Lebanon. 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 in mm (MBL) (time frame: 5 years). 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 5 Jul 2024.
