About this study

Official title: Split Mouth Clinical Study to Compare the Secondary Stability of Dental Implants Using Immediate Gradual Loading Versus Early Loading Protocol in Posterior Maxilla. A Randomized Controlled Trial

The aim of this split mouth study is to compare which method is better in reducing bone loss and healing times following implants. Specifically, the two methods investigated will be immediate gradual loading and early loading protocol.

Research Hypothesis Immediate gradual loading using gingival formers is superior to early loading protocols in improving bone quality and thus reducing the healing time.

Read the detailed description

These two methods (gradual loading and early loading) will both be used in implants patients with the aim to compare which protocol leads to a better outcome for the patient.

A 'better outcome' is defined as the method, which leads to the least crestal bone loss, and the fastest healing time.

Immediate gradually loaded side: will include transmucosal healing of dental implants using gingival formers which will be replaced every 2 weeks by consequent larger size gingival former.i.e. at surgery time the implants will receive 2 mm height gingival former which will be swapped by 3 mm, 4 mm, 5 mm and the last is 6 mm

early loaded side: implants will be submerged from the surgery time till loading time (2 month).

What participants receive

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

  • immediate progressive loading using gingival formersProcedure or surgery

    Implant placement will be 1 mm subcrestally, and it will receive transmucosal healing using gingival former.

    The gingival former will be replaced every 2 weeks by consequent larger size gingival former (at surgery time group A will receive 2 mm height gingival former which will be swapped by,3 mm, 4 mm and the last is 5 mm).

  • submerged healingProcedure or surgery

    the implant placement will be 1 mm subcrestally, and it will receive unloaded healing.(submerged healing)

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 4 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 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 Egypt. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact elhassan mossad, oral surgeon (+201111113770, mossadelhassan@yahoo.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

secondary stability of dental implant (ISQ Osstell Mentol) (time frame: 2 month). 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 NCT02309125, which also lists 21 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 5 Dec 2014.
