Cement Excess at Single Implant Crowns Malmö/Lund

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Abstract Aim: The primary aim of this study is to test whether or not cement residues in the submucosal environment of implants lead to a change in the microbiota and induce inflammation of the periimplant tissues. Material and Methods: 24 patients in need of a single tooth replacement will be enrolled in this cross-over controlled clinical study. All patients will receive a two-piece dental implant, which will be restored with both a cemented and a screw-retained single crown. At the time of impression taking, patients will be randomized into two groups. Patients in group A will receive a screw-retained crown. Every 8 weeks microbiological samples using sterile paper points will be collected and analyzed for bacterial content by real-time PCR. Additionally, two host markers (MMP8, IL-1ß) will be determined by ELISA. Following this first period of 16 weeks, the screw-retained crown will be replaced by a new intraorally cemented crown. Cement removal will be preformed according to best clinical procedure. These crowns will again be left for another period of 16 weeks and followed up for the harvesting of microbiological samples every 8 weeks. After the second 16-week the crowns will be removed to evaluate any excess cement. All patients will be fitted with the original screw-retained crown. Clinical parameters for inflammation and probing depths will be obtained after each 16 week-period. In group B the crowns will be incorporated in a reverse pattern. During the first 16 weeks any possible cement residues will be removed according to best clinical procedure, while for the second period of 16 weeks patients will be fitted with a screw-retained single crown. Again, microbiological and clinical parameters will be obtained at the same intervals as in Group A. After the second 16 week period the screw-retained crowns will be (re-) inserted in all patients, single tooth x-rays taken and clinical baseline values obtained. Additionally, a soft tissue biopsy will be harvested at the time of insertion of the final screw-retained crown. Patients will be followed up for another 16-week period.

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
