University of Foggia

Status: Completed

Conditions: Periimplantitis; Peri-Implantation Loss; Gingival Inflammation; Implant Complication; Osseointegration Failure of Dental Implant; Periodontal Bone Loss

Details and patient eligibility

About

The aim of the research is to evaluate the clinical outcome of short dental implants, characterized by a new macro-structural design and inserted in the upper or lower jaw in patients with reduced bone volume. The clinical outcomes will be compared for different surface treatments of implant neck and those of prosthetic components.

Enrollment: 30 patients

Sex: All

Ages: 18+ years old

Volunteers: Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

• healthy patients, with edentulous maxillary or mandibular ridge, requiring rehabilitation with two adjacent implants;
• at least 6 month after extraction;

Exclusion criteria

• post-extractive implants;
• sites requiring bone regeneration or maxillary sinus lift;
• general health problems that contraindicate implant treatment.

Trial design

Primary purpose: Treatment

Allocation: Randomized

Interventional model: Crossover Assignment

Masking: Triple Blind

30 participants in 2 patient groups

machined collar

Active Comparator group

Description:

The arm will be constituted by healthy people, that need to be rehabilitated by dental implant placement. A short implant (length 6mm; diameter 4.3) will be inserted in an edentulous site. The implant will present a surface treated with double acid etching and traditional machined collar. A definitive transgingival standard machined abutment will be immediately screwed. Four months later, prosthetic procedures will start.

Treatment:

Device: implants placement

anodized collar
