What participants receive

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

  • 940 nm Gallium Aluminum Arsenide Diode LaserDevice

    Exposure of the cover screw of osseointegrated dental implants embedded under oral mucosa by performing the soft tissue incision with diode laser for placing the healing abutment.

  • 2780 nm Er,Cr:YSGG LaserDevice

    Exposure of the cover screw of osseointegrated dental implants embedded under oral mucosa by performing the soft tissue incision with erbium laser for placing the healing abutment.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Diode laserExperimentalSoft tissue incision with 940 nm Gallium Aluminum Arsenide diode laser, at implant recovery settings (2.5 W output power, average power: 1.25 W, pulse length : 1.00 ms, pulse interval: 1.00 ms) in second-stage implant surgery.
Receives: Device: 940 nm Gallium Aluminum Arsenide Diode Laser
Erbium laserExperimentalSoft tissue incision with 2780 nm Er,Cr:YSGG laser, at implant recovery settings (2.00 W power, 100 Hz, H mode, 10% water and 10% air) in second-stage implant surgery.

What is being measured

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

  1. Postoperative pain on 1st day

    Patients score pain intensity with numeric scale ranging between 0(no pain) to 10(most severe pain) on the postoperative 1st day. Pain scores on the postoperative 1st day in each group are compared.

    Measured: 1st Day

  2. Postoperative pain on 2nd day

    Patients score pain intensity with numeric scale ranging between 0(no pain) to 10(most severe pain) on the postoperative 2nd day. Pain scores on the postoperative 2nd day in each group are compared.

    Measured: 2nd Day

  3. Postoperative pain on 3rd day

    Patients score pain intensity with numeric scale ranging between 0(no pain) to 10(most severe pain) on the postoperative 3rd day. Pain scores on the postoperative 3rd day in each group are compared.

    Measured: 3rd Day

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Number of analgesics used daily

    Analgesic consumption per day on postoperative 1st, 2nd and 3rd days.

    Measured: 3 days

  2. Intraoperative bleeding

    Bleeding during surgical procedure was scored by the physician as 1=minimal, 2=normal and 3=excessive bleeding

    Measured: During operation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing 940 nm Gallium Aluminum Arsenide Diode Laser and 2780 nm Er,Cr:YSGG Laser in people with Postoperative Pain and Soft Tissue Bleeding, run by Yuzuncu Yil University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 2 inclusion and 2 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 29 Jan 2019. 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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?

Postoperative pain on 1st day (time frame: 1st Day). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT03819244, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 Jan 2019.
