Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Males and females must be at least 18 years of age.
  • Be edentulous in the maxilla and subjectively desire an implant supported screw retained FPD
  • The teeth at the implant site must have been extracted or lost at least 3 months before the date of implantation.
  • In the case of Guided Bone Regeneration(GBR) or Guided Tissue Regeneration (GTR) treatments, these procedures must have been completed at least 6 months prior to intended surgery date (to fulfil point 5).
  • Adequate bone quality and quantity at the six, minimum five, implant sites to permit the insertion of Straumann 4.1 and 3.3 mm diameter implants without the use of concurrent bone augmentation techniques. I.e. implant insertion sites must have sufficient bone height such that the implant will not encroach on vital structures and sufficient width that a minimum of 1 mm of palatal and buccal bone will remain.
  • Patients must be committed to participate in the study for three years follow-up examinations

Who cannot join

  • Presence of conditions requiring chronic routine prophylactic use of antibiotics (e. g., history of rheumatic heart disease, bacterial endocarditis, cardiac valvular anomalies, prosthetic joint replacements)
  • Medical conditions requiring prolonged use of steroids
  • History of leukocyte dysfunction and deficiencies
  • History of bleeding disorders
  • History of neoplastic disease requiring the use of radiation or chemotherapy
  • Patients with history of renal failure
Show all 26Show fewer
  • Patients with metabolic bone disorders
  • History of uncontrolled endocrine disorders
  • Physical handicaps that would interfere with the ability to perform adequate oral hygiene
  • Use of any investigational drug or device within the 30-day period immediately prior to implant surgery on study day 0.
  • Alcoholism or drug abuse
  • Patients infected with HIV
  • Patients who smoke more than 10 cigarettes per day or cigar equivalents, or who chew tobacco (not greater than 10 cigarette equivalents)
  • Conditions or circumstances, in the opinion of the investigator, which would prevent completion of study participation or interfere with analysis of study results, such as history of non-compliance, unreliability.
  • Local inflammation, including untreated periodontitis
  • Mucosal diseases such as erosive lichen planus
  • History of local irradiation therapy
  • Presence of osseous lesions
  • Unhealed extraction sites (less than 3 months post extraction of teeth in intended sites)
  • Bone surgery (bone grafts, guided tissue regeneration technique for bone enhancement) at implant placement.
  • Severe bruxing or clenching habits
  • Persistent intraoral infection
  • Patients with inadequate oral hygiene or unmotivated for adequate home care
  • Lack of primary stability of 1 or more implant(s) at surgery. In this instance the patient must be withdrawn and treated accordingly.
  • Insufficient bone
  • Other: Inability to place implants according to protocol requirements

About this study

Official title: A 3 Arm Controlled Randomised Study: Comparison of Early and Late Loading Protocols in Full Arch Reconstructions in the Edentulous Maxilla, Using The Cresco Prosthetic System on Straumann Implants

Comparison of early and late loading of implants supporting full each prosthesis in upper jaw, using the Cresco prosthetic system on Straumann implants. The study hypothesis is that there is no difference between the bone loss (or gain) between the groups.

Read the detailed description

The study is a controlled randomised study whereby each patient will receive 5-6 implants placed in the edentulous upper jaw supporting a 10-12 unit screw-retained fixed partial denture (FPD). The main objective of the study is to evaluate the performance of Straumann implants supporting a FPD using Straumann Implants and Cresco restorative components in early and delayed loading protocols at one year post-loading. The treatment groups consist of an early loading and delayed loading arm using Cresco restorative components loading time 10 days post surgery and at 6-8 weeks respectively. The control group comprise the standard delayed loading protocol (healing period 6-8 weeks) and Straumann restorative components. The primary objective is to compare changes in crestal bone levels on radiographs between implants in the control group and test groups at 1 year.The patients will be followed for 3 years.

Study groups in NCT00922935
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Cresco early loadingExperimentalThe implants must be restored (loaded) with a permanent screw retained fixed partial denture (FPD) at 10 days of post surgery
Receives: Device: Cresco
Cresco late loadingExperimentalHealing caps will be placed until loading. The minimum waiting time is 4 weeks, but not before "try ins" to ensure a perfect fit. The implants must be restored (loaded) with a permanent screw retained fixed partial denture (FPD) within 42-56 days (6 to 8 weeks) of surgery.

What is being measured

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

  1. Bone Level Change on Radiographs

    Crestal bone level change at implant margin.The difference between baseline and 3 years after loading.

    Measured: 3 years after loading

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Cresco and Straumann components in people with Jaw, Edentulous, run by Institut Straumann AG at 2 sites in Sweden.

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 26 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 31 Mar 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Sweden. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 12 Jul 2011). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Bone Level Change on Radiographs (time frame: 3 years after loading). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00922935, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 31 Mar 2016.
