About this study

Official title: Clinical Evaluation of Topical Melatonin Application on Implant Stability of Immediate Dental Implant in Anterior & Premolar Region in Systemically Healthy Patients (Randomized Clinical Trial)

The presence of periapical pathology, the absence of kera¬tinized tissue and lack of complete soft tissue closure over the extraction socket have been reported a drawbacks of immediate implant placement .

As mentioned before the presence of periapical pathology is one of the limitation of immediate implant placement, melatonin has an action against Gram-positive and Gram-negative microorganisms with a higher efficacy on the latter; it also showed efficacy against different strains of antibiotic-resistant bacteria.

Melatonin was found to be effective in several cases as an anxiolytic and analgesic agent. It also reduce inflammatory pain by blocking the production of nitric oxid Also the lack of complete soft tissue closure over the extraction socket is one of the drawbacks of immediate implant placement; melatonin induces the production of interleukin-1, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and transforming growth factor (TGF). In addition, melatonin is an immunomodulator and a neuroendocrine hormone, and stimulates both monocyte cytokine and fibroblast proliferation, which influence angiogenesis and wound healing..

As the initial implant stability is one of the criteria of implant success, Melatonin was found to increase new cortical bone width and length during the early stages (15 and 30 days), and it also promoted early cell differentiation. Melatonin acted on the bone as a local growth factor .

Read the detailed description

Melatonin is chemically recognized as N-acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine. It is a compound occurring naturally in plants, microbes and animals. The circulating level of the melatonin hormone in animals shows interesting variations, by entertainment of variable biological functions in a daily cycle "circadian rhythm". Melatonin called hormone of night is secreted by the pineal gland, and its plasma levels concentration are 50 folds higher in night in comparison to daytime. A variety of peripheral cells play a role in production of melatonin such as epithelial cells, bone marrow cells, and lymphocytes. Though melatonin is a hormone, it does not act on a specific organ, it has several functions; stimulation of the synthesis of type I collagen fibers, regulation of the body temperature, sexual development, antioxidant scavenging and detoxifying free radicals thus inhibiting the process of bone resorption through interfering with the function of osteoclasts.

What is being measured

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

  1. implant stability

    measuring implant stability using ostell

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Soft tissue healing

    measuring the soft tissue healing by likert scale which classify the healing in to 5 score ( score 0 ,1 , 2 , 3 , 4 ( 0 indicate complete healing \& 4 indicate incomplete healing

    Measured: 10 days

  2. Post operative pain

    measuring the post operative pain by visual analog scale from 1 to 10

    Measured: 10 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing immediate implant placement and Melatonin in people with Immediate Dental Implant, run by Cairo University at 1 site in Egypt.

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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Jun 2021. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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

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?

implant stability (time frame: 6 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 NCT03689998, 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 8 Jun 2021.
