Trial summary

Edentulous patients have to wait after extractions and again after surgical implant placement for healing to occur before the implants can be restored and patients can go back to normal function. This delay in loading of implants can be handicapping for the patient, esthetically and functionally. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Immediate vs Delayed Loading of Two Implants Supporting a Locator Retained Mandibular Overdenture - A Randomized Controlled Study

Edentulous patients have to wait after extractions and again after surgical implant placement for healing to occur before the implants can be restored and patients can go back to normal function. This delay in loading of implants can be handicapping for the patient, esthetically and functionally. Hence this project was undertaken with the purpose of reducing this wait period and achieving early rehabilitation in these patients. The aim of the project is to compare immediate loading versus delayed loading of implant supported mandibular dentures.

Study groups in NCT01949298
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Immediate implant loadingExperimentalThe test group had implant immediately loaded by means of a implant supported mandibular denture connected with locator abutment.
Receives: Procedure: dental implant placement
Delayed implant loading groupActive comparatorThe control group had implant loaded after 3 months of submerged healing by means of a implant supported mandibular denture connected with locator abutment.
Receives: Procedure: dental implant placement

What is being measured

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

  1. Radiographic bone level change around the implants

    Measured: 12 months

Secondary outcomes (1)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing dental implant placement in people with Implant Survival Using Immediate Loading Protocol, run by UConn Health at 1 site in United States.

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 7 inclusion and 15 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 3 Dec 2014. 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 United States. 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?

Radiographic bone level change around the implants (time frame: 12 months). 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 NCT01949298, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 3 Dec 2014.
