About this study

Official title: A Retrospective Analysis of Failures/Complications With Oral Implants

The purpose of this retrospective study is to investigate and identify factors associated with the failure of dental implants within the population rehabilitated with dental implants at the Folktandvården Specialistklinik in Malmö (Spårvägsgatan 12, 214 27, Malmö).

Read the detailed description

This is a retrospective study that involves collecting information about the past and comparing that with contemporary information collected from the same cases. The patients' dental records' archive and the digital dental records of the Folktandvården Specialistklinik in Malmö will be scrutinized. The patients will be retraced in the Swedish Personal Data System and will be invited for a recall visit with a clinical and radiographic examination. The patients will then be informed of the design of the study through the reading of the Form for Patient Information and the Informed Consent in Swedish and verbally. In case the patient is not willing to pay a recall visit, only the data of the patient's records will be used, under the patients' approval.

The data from the patients' records will be directly inserted to a computer file of the statistical software Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS Inc., Chicago, USA). The additional follow-up information from the patients' recall visit will be collected in specific forms and then inserted to the previously mentioned computer file. All dental implants inserted will be included in the study. Data will be categorized as surgical, implant-specific, patient-related, anatomic, loading conditions, prosthetic, and trans- and postoperative complications.

Periapical radiographies of the patients' digital record will be neatly filed in a computer file. Periapical radiographies that could possibly exist in celluloid film will be digitalized. From each patient, additional radiographs will be selected from the patient's record, based on availability in several time intervals. At the recall consultation, new periapical radiographies will be taken. The reference point will be established at the implants-abutment junction, and the marginal bone level measurement will be performed by using the Image J software.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Dental Implant Failure and Periodontal Bone Loss, run by Malmö University at 1 site 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 2 inclusion and 2 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 19 Oct 2023. 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 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.

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?

Survival of implants (time frame: Including implants placed from 1980 until August 31st 2014). 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 NCT02369562, 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 19 Oct 2023.
