Read the detailed description

This is a clinical research study, characterized by a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial. Background: Vitamin D replacement could aid in the osseointegration of dental implants. Objective: to evaluate the effect of vitamin D replacement on osseointegration of dental implants in humans. Materials and methods: Twenty individuals with hypovitaminosis D underwent dental miniimplants and randomized to two equal groups for treatment with vitamin D (5000 IU / day) or placebo for 2 months. After two months, the miniimplants will be removed and prepared for histomorphometric analysis, which will evaluate bone implant contact in percentage. Testing the hypothesis that the contact between bone and implant and the bone density in the threaded area in the test group is higher than in the control group. Test t will be used to compare the differences between the groups.

What participants receive

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

  • Vitamin DDrug

    Only patients with vitamin D deficiency / deficiency will be included in the study. Randomly, they will be divided into two groups. This group will receive vitamin D supplementation.

    Vitamin D3 - cholecalciferol, oral suspension in drops, will be prescribed as follows:

    • 5,000 IU / day - 10 drops per day for two months.
  • PlaceboOther

    Only patients with vitamin D deficiency / deficiency will be included in the study. Randomly, they will be divided into two groups. This control group will receive placebo.

    Placebo (olive oil mint flavor), oral suspension in drops, will be prescribed as follows:

    • 10 drops per day for two months.

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of bone implant contact

    Histomorphometry will be used as a method of analysis. It will evaluate the initial stage of osseointegration in the two groups, relating it to insufficiency / deficiency and sufficiency of vitamin D. The percentage of bone implant contact, defined as the amount of mineralized bone in direct contact with the surface of the miniimplant, will be evaluated.

    Measured: 2 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Serum levels of vitamin D (ng/ml)

    The 25-hydroxyvitamin D test is a common blood test and is the best way to monitor vitamin D levels. The test can determine if the person's blood has deficiency or excessive vitamin D. The method used to evaluate the blood test is chemiluminescent immunoassay technology (CLIA).

    Measured: 2 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Vitamin D in people with Deficiency, Vitamin D, run by Universidade de Passo Fundo at 1 site in Brazil.

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 5 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 29 Nov 2017. 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 Brazil. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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

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 Isadora Rinaldi ((54) 9 9696-8365, 120910@upf.br), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Percentage of bone implant contact (time frame: 2 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 29 Nov 2017.
