Trial summary

The aim of the study was to determine whether implant length and the crown-to-implant (C/I) ratio influence implant stability and the loss of the surrounding marginal bone, and whether short implants can be used instead of sinus augmentation procedures. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: The Influence of the Crown-implant Ratio on the Crestal Bone Level and Implant Secondary Stability - 36 Months Clinical Study

The aim of the study was to determine whether implant length and the crown-to-implant (C/I) ratio influence implant stability and the loss of the surrounding marginal bone, and whether short implants can be used instead of sinus augmentation procedures.

Read the detailed description

The patients participating in the study (n=30) had one single tooth implant - a short (OsseoSpeed™ L6Ø4 mm, Implants) or a regular implant (OsseoSpeed™ L11 and L13Ø4 mm, DENTSPLY Implants) - placed in the maxilla. The evaluation was based on clinical and radiological examination.

The crown-to-implant ratio was determined by dividing the length of the crown together with the abutment by the length of the implant placed crestally. Mean crown-to-implant ratios were calculated separately for each group and its correlation with the MBL (marginal bone loss) and stability was assessed. The authors compared the correlation between the C/I ratio values, MBL and secondary implant stability.

What participants receive

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

  • Short implants TreatmentOther

    Short implants are placed in the alveolar bone and a clinical Ostell and Periotest evaluation of the implants after a period of time is done. Analysis of periapical radiographs and CBCT images after a period of time. Bone around the implant was measured, marginal bone level loss is determined.

  • Regular implants TreatmentOther

    Sinus lift procedure is done and regular implants are placed in the alveolar bone and a clinical Ostell and Periotest evaluation of the implants after a period of time is done. Analysis of periapical radiographs and CBCT images after a period of time. Bone around the implant was measured, marginal bone level loss is determined.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Short implants TreatmentExperimentalGroup 2 (G2; n=15 patients) had short implants (OsseoSpeed ™ L6mm Ø4 mm) [DENTSPLY Implants, Waltham, MA, USA] placed without sinus lift and augmentation procedure.
Receives: Other: Short implants Treatment
Regular Implants TreatmentActive comparatorGroup 1 (G1; n=15 patients) had conventional dental implants (OsseoSpeed ™ L11 Ø4 mm and L13 Ø4 mm) [DENTSPLY Implants, Waltham, MA, USA] placed, preceded by the sinus lift procedure from a lateral window approach with the application of the xenogeneic bone graft Geistlich Bio-Oss® [Geistlich AG, Wolhusen, Switzerland]. The lateral window approach sinus lift surgery was performed 6 weeks prior to the implant placement by the same surgeon.
Receives: Other: Regular implants Treatment

What is being measured

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

  1. Clinical measurement of implant stability

    Evaluation of implant secondary stability in both groups. Stability measured and evaluated with Periotest(R) device - after 36 months.

    Measured: 36 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Radiological measurement of marginal bone loss around implant

    Evalation if there is difference in marginal bone level around the implants in both groups. Periapical radiographs and CBCT images taken and the begining and at the end of the observation period will be compared and bone level will be measured. Loss of marginal bone will be calculated.

    Measured: 36 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Short implants Treatment and Regular implants Treatment in people with Partial Edentulism and Tooth Loss, run by Jakub Hadzik.

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 9 inclusion and 1 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 14 Jan 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Clinical measurement of implant stability (time frame: 36 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 NCT03471000, 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 14 Jan 2020.
