Clinical Trial Summary

two groups of inserted implants: trans-gingival and under-bone level; difference in the marginal bone loss at six months from placement between the two groups of implant positioned in the posterior atrophic maxilla


Description:

The inserted implants will be divided into two groups (group A: trans-gingival implants; group B: under bone level implants): a sample of 17 implants for each group was calculated to be necessary to detect a statistically significant difference in the marginal bone loss at six months from placement between the two groups (primary outcome) (alpha level set at 0.05 and statistical power at 80%) (Primer 6.0, Mc Graw-Hill, USA). The expected differences in marginal bone loss between groups (0.1 ±0.1 mm) were extrapolated from literature studies conducted on the topic10. Each center will treat 15 patients who need to insert implants in the posterior maxillary area, for a total of 45 implants, in order to compensate for any drop-outs. Training and calibration session. Before the start of the study, a meeting will be held between all clinical centers to explain the surgical protocol, in order to ensure that clinical operators apply a standardized approach. A clinical operator for each center will receive written instructions regarding the evaluation of the experimental parameters in order to obtain repeatability in the collection of clinical parameters and in the compilation of the Case Report Form. Screening stage. All patients treated by the Clinical Centers are eligible to enter this study. Prior to enrollment, all patients will be required to sign an informed consent form to document that they understand the purpose of the study (including procedures, follow-up assessments, and potential risks involved). Patients will be allowed to ask questions related to this study and will be informed about alternative treatments. Surgical procedure. Presurgical planning will be performed with cone-beam computed tomography examination with or without the use of image reconstruction software. After local anesthesia using articaine 4% with epinephrine 1:100,000, a minimally invasive full-thickness flap will be raised in order to visualize the anatomy of the ridge. The vertical thickness of the supracrestal soft tissue will be measured and recorded. The preparation of the implant site will be performed with rotary burs and the bone quality will be recorded. An implant (M2 Short, M2 Implants, Padova, Italy), 4 mm in diameter and 5, 6.5 or 7 mm in length, will be placed according to the manufacturer's recommendations (5 and 6.5 crestal placement; 7 subcrestal placement of 1 mm ). The length of the implant will be chosen in order to obtain a bicortical anchorage on the floor of the maxillary sinus. Immediately after implant placement, an intraoral radiograph will be performed and an operator will record the implant stability values in the mesio-distal, disto-mesial, bucco-lingual and lingual-buccal directions. Dedicated disposable transducers and a measuring device will be used. The calibration of the instrument will be checked before and after each patient visit, using an implant fixed in a block of resin. The flap will be sutured around the implant (one-stage protocol) with a non-absorbable monofilament, and an intraoral radiography with a centering device will be performed. Patients will be prescribed antibiotics (amoxicillin/clavulanic acid 1 g 2 tablets/day from one day before surgery to five days after - clarithromycin 500 mg 1 tablet/day in allergic patients), NSAID (ibuprofen 600 mg as needed) and mouthwashes of chlorhexidine 0.2% lasting two minutes, three times a day. The sutures will be removed 14 days after the surgery. Postoperative recalls. After four months of healing, after periapical radiography and implant stability control , the final impression will be taken for the construction of the prosthetic product. The prosthetic rehabilitation will consist of single screw-retained ceramic crowns. Periapical radiographs will be performed upon delivery of the prosthetic product, after six months, one year, three and five years of prosthetic loading to evaluate the stability of the marginal bone. Data analysis and retention. For each clinical center, a trained clinical operator and a clinical assistant will take care of data collection (filling in the case report form, performing periapical radiographs (on digital support) and measuring implant stability quotient values. Case report forms, radiographs and implant stability quotient measurements will be sent to the Coordination Centre, where trained operators will perform all measurements. The data will be transferred into a single electronic dataset for subsequent analysis. The examiners will not have been involved in the surgical and prosthetic phases and will proceed with the observation of the radiographs in a blind manner.
