Initial Stability of Posterior Maxillary Implants With Bicortical Fixation

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The primary purpose of this study is to

1. determine whether dental implant engaging both the alveolar crest cortical bone and sinus floor using vertical stopper drill and self-threading concept (bi-cortical fixation) increases initial implant stability compared to the short implants engaging only alveolar crest cortical bone (uni-cortical fixation) and/or ones engaging both crest and sinus floor but with green stick fracture (indirect sinus lift technique),

2. study whether different surgical techniques, residual bone height, bone density, and length and width of the implants used affect initial implant stability in posterior maxilla. In addition, this study will continue to

3. compare secondary implant stability of implants fixed bi-cortically, uni-cortically and with indirect sinus lift technique at 2nd stage surgery/6 month healing and 1 year follow-up from the restoration and

4. measure amount of endo-sinus bone formation from the 1- year follow up CT (computer tomogram) scan and evaluate safety and potential post-operative complications of bi-cortical fixation and indirect sinus lift technique reported throughout the follow up periods.

Clinical Trial Description

The clinical trial will evaluate initial implant stability as a primary outcome measured by resonance frequency analysis (RFA) employing dental implants surgically placed in posterior maxillary bone by engaging alveolar crest and the sinus floor using vertical stopper drill and self-threading concept (bi-cortical fixation), engaging only the alveolar crest (uni-cortical fixation), and engaging alveolar crest and the sinus floor using indirect sinus lift technique (indirect sinus lift technique). The surgical procedures compared in this experiment include 3 groups:

- Group 1 (15 implants) Short implants placed in proximity of the sinus without sinus floor involvement (unicortical fixation)

- Group 2 (15 implants) Implants placed using indirect sinus lift technique (indirect sinus lift technique)

- Group 3 (15 implants) Bi-cortically fixed implants intentionally engaging sinus floor beyond up to 1-2mm without graft but using stopper drill and self-threading concept (bi-cortical fixation) ;

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.
