Clinical Trial Summary

This is a research study to test the clinical procedure and not the FDA approved medical device. This project will screen up to 80 volunteers to enroll 40 active subjects to receive a single tooth implant on an anterior (incisor/canine) or pre-molar tooth in the mandible or maxilla (no implants will be placed in molar sites). This 3 year research study will examine the clinical effects of loading regimens on roughened surfaced implants. The proposed research project will measure the changes in mucosal healing and maturation over a three year period following implant placement. The proposed research lays the foundation for improved health care by providing surgeons and restorative dentists with data for determining the relationship between implant healing, loading pattern and bone type. The rationale that underlies the investigation is that identification of the influences of timing of load on implant stability in varying bone types will allow routine, predictable use of early loading, which, in turn, will translate into more rapid health care, and improved psychosocial well-being of the patient. If these hypotheses are correct, these results are expected to provide evidence based research data to support early loading and immediate loading of single implants in sites of adequate bone volume, and density. In addition, it is expected that these results will fundamentally advance the field of implant dentistry and bioengineering by providing information on the principles of the bone density-mechanical environment-implant stability interaction.


Description:

MATERIALS AND METHODS This longitudinal human clinical trial is designed as a prospective study, to measure implant stability with the resonance frequency analyzer (Osstell, Integration Diagnostics AB, Sweden) at time of implant placement and up to 16 weeks post placement. After 16 weeks, a definitive implant abutment will be placed and a final dental crown delivered. No further follow-up will be done with the resonance frequency approach. However, all subjects will be followed through 3 years post implant placement as described for each follow-up visit. The study population consists of subjects at the University of Iowa's College of Dentistry. Subjects presenting with one tooth missing in the anterior (incisor/canine) or pre-molar regions of the mandible or maxilla with existing teeth that were healthy or adequately restored shall be screened based on the inclusion/exclusion criteria. The missing tooth is to be replaced with a fixed implant restoration on one implant.

SEQUENCE OF VISITS A. Visit 1: Screening Examination

Subjects shall be seen for evaluation and for collection of baseline data. Pre-treatment data shall be recorded on case report forms. The visit shall include:

1. Explanation to the patient of the purposes of the study and the planned procedures related to the study.

2. Explanation to the subject of the risks and possible complications of participation in the study. Patients shall be notified that inclusion in the study is for the purpose of providing implant treatment only and that no provision for other active treatments are guaranteed or implied except for care related to the implant aspect of their oral cavity. This treatment shall be agreed upon as outlined for their specific case.

Implant Site Selection: Adequate bone volume is needed to accommodate the planned endosseous dental implant. This will mean sufficient height such that the implant would not encroach on vital structures (such as inferior alveolar nerve), and sufficient width that the implant could be placed within the confines of the existing bone without dehiscence or fenestration, requiring significant grafting at time of implant placement. Typically, this will mean space dimensions will be: 6 mm or greater ridge width facial-lingual and > 6 mm in the mesial to distal dimension . If the implant can be placed and only a few screw threads are exposed, grafting is allowed to cover these threads. In the planned occlusal-gingival dimension, there must be at least 7 mm of space from the planned head of the implant to the planned occlusal plane.

The subject should be notified that inclusion in the study is conditional upon satisfying the inclusion and exclusion criteria as seen in Table 1. Only subjects satisfying the Inclusion/Exclusion criteria shall be enrolled.

The dental implant system to be used is the Astra Tech OsseoSpeed Dental Implant System (Astra Tech AB, Mölndal Sweden). This is an FDA cleared product under FDA 510k clearance act (FDA clearance 4/30/2004). This protocol calls for use of only the 4.0 mm diameter by 11 mm long dental implant (OsseoSpeed Aqua platform; Ref Number 24622; Astra Tech AB) in the anterior (incisor/canine) or posterior pre-molar regions of the mandible or maxilla. All sites must have sound natural or restored teeth/implants Mesial and Distal to the planned site of interest (Bounded Edentulous Space or BES). The patient should otherwise have a restored stable occlusion that is mutually protected. No implants will be placed in molar sites. The implant lengths accepted in the study are 11 mm. Clinical and radiographic screening will be used to limit the study to patients with sufficient bone quantity to completely encase the implant.

Upon review of the subject's health history, inclusion/exclusion criteria a screening clinical assessment will be made. Existing dental radiographs within the past 6 months shall be acceptable. No new radiographs will be made until subject enrollment and obtaining signed informed consent. The subject will be given an informed consent for the study and reviewed with the clinical study coordinator. Preliminary diagnostic impressions will made (Penta, 3M ESPE) and poured in dental stone (Whip Mix Corp., Louisville, KY). Implant subjects may have a pre-operative Cone Bean CT imaging study (Galileos; Sirona, Charlotte NC; www.sirona.com) made at the College of Dentistry's Department of Oral Maxillofacial Radiology at the discretion of the Principal Investigator following diagnostic work-up. Subjects shall be either patients of record of the College of Dentistry or shall be enrolled if new to the College. Patient records are electronic (WinDent) along with a paper version. Paper-based Case Report Forms (CRF) containing subject's medical information will be kept in one central file in a locked cabinet in the Dental Clinical Research Center. This data will be kept in a secured file accessible only by the PI and the Clinical Coordinator.

Eligibility Inclusion Criteria:

- The patient is 18 years or older.

- Ability to understand and sign the informed consent prior to starting the study.

- Ability and willingness to comply with all study requirements.

- Adequate oral hygiene (defined as an average Modified Sulcus Bleeding Index of 1 or less and an average Modified Plaque Index of 1 or less).

- Must be a bounded edentulous space.

- Adequate bone volume to accommodate the planned endosseous dental implant (e.g. sufficient height such that the implant would not encroach on vital structures such as inferior alveolar nerve, and sufficient width that the implant could be placed within the confines of the existing bone without dehiscence or fenestration, requiring significant grafting at time of implant placement). The only implant utilized in this protocol will be a 4.0 mm diameter by 11 mm long implant (Fixture OsseoSpeed Astra Tech).

Typically, this will mean space dimensions will be: 6 mm or greater ridge width facial-lingual and > 6 mm in the mesial to distal dimension . If the implant can be placed and only a few screw threads are exposed, grafting is allowed to cover these threads. In the planned occlusal-gingival dimension, there must be at least 7 mm of space from the planned head of the implant to the planned occlusal plane.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Implant Stability Scale (ISQ) Score Change After 16 Weeks The objective of this study is to examine the change in implant stability upon three different loading regimens during the first sixteen weeks following implant placement. ISQ score (1-100), where higher score equals more stability, was assessed. The main hypotheses of the study are 1) Implant stability (ISQ) is minimally affected when physiologic load is applied to an implant during the healing process. 16 weeks
