Clinical Trial Summary

The current clinical implant techniques used include immediate implantation, early implantation, and delayed implantation. With the acceleration of the current pace of life, immediate implantation is increasingly favored by patients due to its advantages such as fewer surgeries, shorter waiting times, and less impact on aesthetics. The research group has shown that the mismatch between traditional implants and extraction sockets in immediate implantation surgery has caused some complications. Therefore, it is believed that 3D printed personalized root shaped implants with certain roughness are more suitable for use in immediate implantation surgery.

Description:

The current clinical implant techniques used include immediate implantation, early implantation, and delayed implantation. With the acceleration of the current pace of life, immediate implantation is increasingly favored by patients due to its advantages such as fewer surgeries, shorter waiting times, and less impact on aesthetics. The research group has shown that the mismatch between traditional implants and extraction sockets in immediate implantation surgery has caused some complications. Therefore, it is believed that 3D printed personalized root shaped implants with certain roughness are more suitable for use in immediate implantation surgery. A 3D printed personalized root implant system jointly developed by Zhejiang University School of Medicine Affiliated Stomatology Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Mechanical Engineering, and Hangzhou Ya Natural Technology Co., Ltd. The implant part of this implant system is implanted into the bone using laser melting printing technology in additive manufacturing methods. The raw material is pure titanium powder, and research results in New Zealand white rabbits and beagles have confirmed that the implant has good bone bonding ability, which can shorten surgical time, reduce surgical frequency, compress implant cycle, restore chewing function, and other advantages. The relevant research results have been published in the top oral journal Journal of Dental Research, and the chemical composition and biological safety of the material have been tested by the Zhejiang Medical Device Inspection and Research Institute (test report number: Z20221903), Z20222527，G20233158）。 The base and other accessories are cut from titanium rods using conventional reduction manufacturing techniques.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Alveolar ridge height	The distance from the top of the alveolar ridge to the tip of the implant	day 0,12 weeks,24weeks,48weeks
Secondary	Width of alveolar ridge, buccal and lingual directions	The width of the implant platform from the buccal and lingual to the alveolar bone	day 0,12 weeks, 24 weeks, 48 weeks
Secondary	Implant mobility	Measure the movement of the implant using an implant mobility meter and record the ISQ value	day 0,12 weeks
Secondary	Gingival condition	Two independent clinical doctors conducted gingival examination in the oral implant area of the patient, and gave a comprehensive score for gingival condition based on changes in gingival color, shape, and texture. A 3-point scoring method was used, with good, average, and poor results.	day 0, 12 weeks, 24 weeks, 48weeks
Secondary	Exploration depth and Exploring bleeding	Same periodontal probing. Use blunt head periodontal probing to measure the depth of probing at six points around the implant, including the buccal mesial, buccal central, buccal distal, lingual palatal mesial, lingual palatal central, and lingual palatal distal. Record the depth of probing and calculate the average value, 2-4mm if normal, if depth >5mm, consider the occurrence of periimplantitis. The improved gingival sulcus bleeding index (mSBI) can be used to detect bleeding: 0=Along the periphery of the implant, no bleeding after soft tissue edge exploration; 1=scattered points after exploration, hemorrhage in shape; 2=After diagnosis, the bleeding appears linear in the groove; 3=severe or Spontaneous bleeding.	12 weeks, 24 weeks, 48 weeks
Secondary	Clinical looseness of implants	Evaluation of tooth looseness. Use tweezers to clamp and shake the cutting edge during the examination of anterior dental implants; When checking the posterior dental implant, fold the forceps together and place them in the center of the occlusal fissure, shaking them towards the buccal, lingual (palatal), and mesial and distal directions (clamping the anterior tooth ridge, and pressing the posterior tooth forceps against the posterior occlusal fissure). The commonly used method for recording tooth looseness in clinical practice is to calculate the degree of looseness in millimeters: degree I looseness: the looseness amplitude is within 1mm; Second degree loosening: the loosening amplitude is within 1-2mm; Third degree loosening: the loosening amplitude is above 2mm.	12 weeks, 24 weeks, 48 weeks
Secondary	Recovery of chewing function	The basic method is to use a vernier ruler about 10 cm long, where "0" represents complete dissatisfaction and "10" represents complete satisfaction. The patient marks the line segment based on their own satisfaction, and the physician scores them based on the position marked by the patient.	24 weeks, 48 weeks
Secondary	Aesthetic satisfaction	Use a survey questionnaire to evaluate patient satisfaction, including aesthetics and other suggestions and opinions on treatment. The evaluation adopts a 3-point scoring method, which is satisfied, average, and dissatisfied.	24 weeks,48 weeks
