About this study

Official title: Awareness of Dental Implant Care and Its Correlation With Oral Hygiene Practices and the Presence of Peri-Implant Diseases

Objective: This study investigated how patients' knowledge, attitude, and perceptions influence their oral hygiene practices as well as peri-implant health. Materials and Methods: Participants with single implant crowns placed in 2007-2011 completed a questionnaire that examined their knowledge, attitude, and perceptions on oral hygiene practices and peri-implant health before receiving a periodontal examination, prophylaxis, and oral hygiene education. Clinical parameters recorded were peri-implant probing depths and plaque index, width of keratinized mucosa, implant crown characteristics, reason for tooth loss, and diagnosis of peri-implant health.

Read the detailed description

First, a trained clinical research dental assistant interviewed the participants and showed them pictures of oral hygiene aids so that the participants could answer the survey questions accurately. Subsequently, a periodontal examination, dental prophylaxis, and oral hygiene education were performed. Participants with active diseases e.g. caries, periodontitis, or peri-implantitis were referred for further management. The following clinical parameters were recorded during the examination:

  1. Probing depths at 6 sites around the implant (mesiobuccal, midbuccal, distobuccal, distolingual, midlingual and mesiolingual)
  2. Plaque index (Silness \& Loe 1964) at 4 sites around the implant (mesial, buccal, distal and lingual)
  3. Amount of keratinized mucosa at the implant site
  4. Characteristics of the implant crown:
  • Type of implant crown (screw- or cement-retained) and
  • Position of crown margins (supra-, equi- or sub-gingival)
  1. Reason(s) for tooth loss
  2. Diagnosis of peri-implant health
  • Normal
  • Mucositis, defined as 3 or more bleeding points per implant
  • Peri-implantitis, defined as implant thread exposure that was either clinically visible or detectable with a periodontal probe.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Peri-implant Mucositis and Peri-Implantitis, run by National University Health System, Singapore at 1 site in Singapore.

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 3 inclusion and 9 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 13 Apr 2018. 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 Singapore. 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?

qualitative assessment of patient's knowledge on care and maintenance of dental implants using a questionnaire based on a 5 point Likert scale (time frame: 1 day). 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 13 Apr 2018.
