Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 80 years
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Patients who come to the Unit of Periodontology (UZ Leuven, St. Rafaël), in need of implant rehabilitation, will be evaluated for initial study eligibility during a screening visit. Patients shall be advised of the need to attend follow-up visits: 3 months after implant placement (at abutment placement visit) and 1 year, the latter to analyse the early bone remodelling.

Who may be able to join

  • Males or females American Society of Anesthesiologists classification (ASA) I or II, between 18 to 80 years of age
  • Patient in good general health as documented by self-assessment.
  • Patients needing implant rehabilitation in the upper or lower jaw.
  • Patients must be committed to the study and must be willing to sign the informed consent.

Who cannot join

  • Any systemic medical condition that could interfere with the surgical procedure or planned treatment.
  • Immunosuppression, Diabetes, Anticoagulation or Antiaggregatory medication.
  • Current pregnancy or breast feeding/ lactating at the time of recruitment.
  • Radiotherapy or Chemotherapy in head and neck area.
  • Intravenous and oral bisphosphonate therapy.
  • Patients smoking >20 cigarettes a day.
Show all 11Show fewer
  • Unwillingness to return for the follow-up examination.
  • Conditions or circumstances, in the opinion of the investigator, which could represent a general contra-indication for surgical procedure or would prevent completion of study participation or interfere with analysis of study results, such as history of non-compliance, or unrealistic expectations.
  • Local exclusion criteria:
  • Immediate implant placement after tooth extraction.
  • Risk of extra bleeding due to inflammatory or infectious processes near the zone of implantation.

About this study

Official title: The Role of Bleeding at Implant Placement: a Prospective Observational Study

Angiogenesis is inherently associated to bone formation and healing. During implant osseointegration, a successive and successful angiogenic processes has to occur to promote bone formation. In 1969, Branemark et al. demonstrated that direct contact between bone and titanium implant surface was possible, defining osseointegration as "the direct, structural, and functional contact between live bone and the surface of a functionally loaded implant". Consequently, the need of an empirical measurement appeared. With the introduction of resonance frequency analysis (RFA), it is now possible to measure the degree of implant stability at any time during the course of implant treatment and loading. In this way, changes in implant stability can be monitored over the time and it is likely possible to find implants at risk of failure before they become loose. The rationale of this study is to analyse how important a good vascularization is for the future bone formation around dental implants.

What is being measured

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

  1. Correlation between bleeding during implant placement and marginal bone loss

    Peri-implant bone loss after 1 year from the implant placement

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Correlation between bleeding during implant placement and implant stability quotient (ISQ) values

    Correlation between bleeding during implant placement and implant stability quotient (ISQ) values

    Measured: 3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Bleeding and Angiogenesis, run by Universitaire Ziekenhuizen KU Leuven at 1 site in Belgium.

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 4 inclusion and 11 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 31 Mar 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 Belgium. 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?

Correlation between bleeding during implant placement and marginal bone loss (time frame: 1 year). 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 31 Mar 2023.
