This study is currently recruiting participants.
Verified June 2012 by University of Zurich
Sponsor:
Information provided by (Responsible Party):
University of Zurich
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier:
NCT01649531
First received: July 20, 2012
Last updated: NA
Last verified: June 2012
History: No changes posted
  Purpose

The aim of the present study is to test whether there is a difference in the marginal bone level change between implants with and without cantilevers.


Condition Intervention
Dental Implants
 Procedure: 1 Implant
Procedure: 2 Implants

Study Type: Interventional
Study Design: Allocation: Randomized
Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment
Masking: Open Label
Primary Purpose: Supportive Care

Further study details as provided by University of Zurich:

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • radiographic bone level [ Time Frame: 5 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    The primary endpoint of the study is the radiographic bone level 5 years after insertion.The bone level represents an indicator of the osseointegration and biological success of the implant.


Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Radiographic bone level [ Time Frame: 1 and 3 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Implant survival and success [ Time Frame: 1, 3, 5 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • rate of technical complication [ Time Frame: 1, 3, 5 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    technical complications: screw loosenings, screw fractures, framework fractures, veneering ceramic fractures

  • rate of biological complications [ Time Frame: 1, 3, 5 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    biological complications: mucositis, assessed by bleeding on probing

  • Soft tissue changes [ Time Frame: 1, 3, 5 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Soft tissue changes: change in clinical crown length = recession / papilla index

  • Patient morbidity [ Time Frame: 1, 3, 5 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    VAS scale to assess pain after implant placement


Estimated Enrollment: 34
Study Start Date: July 2012
Estimated Primary Completion Date: December 2018 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Arms Assigned Interventions
Active Comparator: Test group
1 Implant, to be placed in the position with greater vertical bone height with a mesial or distal cantilever.
 Procedure: 1 Implant
Active Comparator: Control group
2 Implants
 Procedure: 2 Implants

  Eligibility

Ages Eligible for Study:   18 Years to 80 Years
Genders Eligible for Study:   Both
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:   No
Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  • male and female patients 18 years to 80 years of age
  • no general medical condition which represents a contraindication to implant treatment
  • two adjacent missing teeth in the maxilla or mandible in positions of premolars and molars
  • at least one tooth present adjacent to the edentulous space
  • indication for implant treatment is given
  • at least 8 mm of vertical bone height in the mandible allowing for the placement of a 6 mm implant (2 mm safety distance to inferior alveolar nerve)
  • at least 4 mm of vertical bone height in the maxilla
  • signed informed consent after being informed

Exclusion Criteria:

  • smoking of more than 15 cigarettes a day (clinical studies show an increased failure rate of implants in heavy smokers)
  • poor oral hygiene after hygienic phase (Plaque Index over 30 %)
  • active periodontal disease
  • pregnancy or breastfeeding at date of inclusion
