About this study

Official title: A Randomized Comparative Study on Internal Sinus Lifting With Simultaneous Implant Placement Using Two Different Techniques

This study was conducted at Ege University, School of Dentistry, Izmir, Turkey. Patients enrolled require implant placement to the atrophic posterior maxilla. Patients were treated with either the specifically designed drills or the osteotomes. The outcome variables were primary stability, marginal bone loss, implant survival, and patient-reported outcomes. The investigators aimed to compare the treatment outcomes of two different techniques used in dental implant placement with internal sinus lifting.

Read the detailed description

This prospective, randomized clinical study was conducted at the Ege University School of Dentistry and Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. Patients with atrophic maxillas and at least one tooth loss in this region were included. Randomization was performed to assign the patients to study groups. Patients treated with internal sinus lift using osteotome and implant surgery were assigned to Group 1, and patients treated with internal sinus lift using specifically designed drills and implant surgery were assigned to Group 2. At six months postoperatively, the healing cap was inserted during the second stage of surgery.

All implants were assessed based on primary stability (using implant stability quotient and torque value), marginal bone loss (as millimeters), and implant survival (as a percentage). Also, patient-reported outcomes were collected, including pain (using a visual analog scale), analgesic consumption (number of drugs taken during a week), and oral health impact profile survey).

Being tested
Sinus lifting and implant placement with osteotomes, Sinus lifting and implant placement with specifically designed drills

What participants receive

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

  • Sinus lifting and implant placement with osteotomesProcedure or surgery

    Osteotomes with increasing diameters were used for sinus membrane elevation and implant insertion

  • Sinus lifting and implant placement with specifically designed drillsProcedure or surgery

    Sequential drills were used for sinus membrane elevation and implant insertion

What is being measured

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

  1. Mean of implant insertion quantity (ISQ) value

    Calculation of ISQ value for each implant

    Measured: at surgery

  2. Mean of torque value

    Calculation of torque value for each implant

    Measured: at surgery

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Marginal bone loss

    Change in peri-implant bone level

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 1 year

  2. Implant survival

    Number of mobil or loss implants

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 1 year

  3. Pain Score

    Pain level recorded between 0 to 10 points

    Measured: at postoperative first week

  4. Analgesic consumption

    Number of analgesic taken on a daily basis

    Measured: at postoperative first week

  5. Oral health impact profile questionnaire

    Total score of self-administered questionnaire assessed using Likert-point scale between 0 to 4

    Measured: preoperatively, at postoperative first week, and at postoperative 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Sinus lifting and implant placement with osteotomes and Sinus lifting and implant placement with specifically designed drills in people with Vertical Alveolar Bone Loss and Sinus Lifting, run by Ege University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 7 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 15 Oct 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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?

Mean of implant insertion quantity (ISQ) value (time frame: at 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?
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 15 Oct 2024.
