About this study

Official title: Hybrid Funnel Technique vs Conventional Drill Osteotomy, a Novel Approach for Implant Site Preparation

Hybrid Funnel Technique arises from the union of subtractive and non-subtractive techniques for implant site preparation. Hybrid funnel technique is performed with specially designed drills and osteotome. the aim of the study is to examine marginal bone level and implant stability of implants inserted with two different techniques for the surgical implant site preparation.

Read the detailed description

Overtime several osteotomy techniques were described in literature for surgical implant site preparation and there is a clear dichotomy between expansive and ablative techniques.

The ablative techniques imply the preparation of the implant socket by removing bone: drill osteotomy and ultrasonic osteotomy. Expansive technique for osteotomy has recently been proposed: the osseodensification. Osseodensification, a non-subtractive instrumentation method, involves the use of specific drills or manual osteotomes which determine an expansion of the implant site without bone removal and bone fragments compaction on the walls of implant socket.The aim of the present study is to propose a new approach for the implant site preparation that combines ablative and expansive techniques. The technique proposed is called hybrid funnel techniqueAlthough a variety of techniques are available for implant site preparation, the hypothesis is that Hybrid Funnel technique will be positively adopted to perform osteotomy, exploiting the cancellous bone elastic properties to stabilize the implant and avoiding to stress the cortical area. Primary objectives are to compare hybrid funnel technique and traditional technique on different bone densities and to examine Marginal Bone Level torque insertion value and Implant stability.

What is being measured

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

  1. Marginal bone loss

    Radiographic evaluation of the marignal bone level around the implant using a periapical x ray. marginal bone loss is in millimeters and indicates how many millimeters of bone has been lost

    Measured: 6 months after implant placement

  2. Marginal bone loss

    Radiographic evaluation of the marignal bone level around the implant using a periapical x ray. marginal bone loss is in millimeters and indicates how many millimeters of bone has been lost

    Measured: 12 months after implant placement

  3. Implant stability

    check implant stability using resonant frequency analysis (RFA)

    Measured: immediately after implant placement

  4. Implant stability

    check implant stability using resonant frequency analysis (RFA)

    Measured: 2 months after implant placement

  5. Insertion torque curve

    The Insertion torque data were recorded and exported as a curve The torque curve records the amount of energy that was needed for arrive at the positioning of the implantunit of measurement of torque is Newton centimeter (Ncm)

    Measured: During implant placement (T0 baseline)

Model description
Once selected, patients will be assigned to one of two treatment groups. (test group- hybrid funnel technique; control group- conventional drill technique) Patients are placed in one of the two treatment groups according to the chronological order in which they will be recruited. Age, sex, surgical implant site (upper, lower, anterior, posterior) and clinical l characteristics will be taken into account to obtain two homogeneous study groups. First Hybrid Funnel Technique will be performed, then Conventional drill Technique will be performed.
