Expected results.

- high accuracy of proposed classification for proper implantation risk degree evaluation.

- the proposed classification system based on anatomical and radiological jawbone quantity and quality evaluation will be a helpful tool for planning of treatment strategy and collaboration among specialists.

- good reliability between radiological and intraoperative investigations and postoperative data.


Clinical Trial Description

The study aim.

to assess reliability and validity of the purposed jawbone anatomy clinical and radiological classification.

Objectives.

- risk degree evaluation for proper implantation.

- radiological edentulous jaw segment assessment according to study protocol for classification validation and reliability.

- postoperative radiological edentulous jaw segment evaluation for the accuracy of the classification identification.

- implant treatment success evaluation at final crown placement.

Object of the research.

partially edentulous patients referred to dentists and dental specialists with necessity of dental implant treatment.

Expected results.

- high accuracy of proposed classification for proper implantation risk degree evaluation.

- the proposed classification system based on anatomical and radiological jawbone quantity and quality evaluation will be a helpful tool for planning of treatment strategy and collaboration among specialists.

- good interobserver reliability of clinical and radiological edentulous jaw segment evaluation by the clinicians.

- good reliability between radiological and intraoperative investigations and postoperative data.

Granted Approvals.

- State Data Protection Inspectorate approval.

Additional study quality factors.

Patients sampling.

inclusion criteria fulfilled patients selection for dental implant treatment.

Size of the research. Patients referred to the dentists and dental specialists in Lithuania and other centers participating in the study.Total sample size is not less than 80 - 100 edentulous jaw segments. The duration of the study is one year of sample gathering (2014).

Material and methods. Dental notation: World Dental Association (FDI) dental notation system. The length measurement system is metric (millimetres with integer numbers according to the mathematical rules). Non linear measurements values are provided: "+" - agreement, "-" - disagreement. Separate stages of the study should be documented - digital pictures (under protocol requirements) should be taken.

The international study is based on classification (please find the first article in the list of publications). The investigation unit is edentulous jaw segment in aesthetic or non aesthetic zone. Aesthetic zone contains incisive, canine and premolar edentulous jaw segments. Molar region edentulous jaw segments belong to non aesthetic zone. The proposed classification accuracy is evaluated after edentulous jaw segment preoperative, intraoperative, early postoperative and late postoperative stages corresponding parameters comparison in the aesthetic and non aesthetic zone (the evaluation of the corresponding parameters are different at separate stages). The corresponding data collection in to appendices (Appendix 1, Appendix 2, Appendix 3) should be made by the calibrated and trained in the field investigator.

13. Implant threads coverage by the bone (Appendix 2).

14. Implant host sites bony walls fractures during drilling procedure or implant insertion (Appendix 2).

15. Primary implant stability at insertion (Appendix 2).

16. Excessive bleeding in the apical region of osteotomy (Appendix 2).

17. Mandibular canal perforation and inferior alveolar nerve direct mechanical injury by implant drill (Appendix 2).

18. Implant drill slippage deeper than planned (Appendix 2).

19. Implant placement deeper than planned (Appendix 2).

20. Placed dental implant parameters (length, width) (Appendix 2).

21. Facial image after dental implant placement.

22. Occlusal image after dental implant placement. Note: Following steps should not be performed if dental implant was not placed.

Early postoperative stage.

23. EJS radiological investigation (periapical radiograph).

24. Distance from implant apex to anatomically important structures on periapical radiograph (Appendix 2).

Late postoperative stage.

25. Facial image of defect area after healing period.

26. Occlusal image of defect area after healing period.

27. Facial image of defect area with implant long axis oriented periodontal probe in the region of adjacent tooth after final crown placement.

28. Occlusal image of defect area after final crown placement.

29. Vertical soft tissue deficiency evaluation (Appendix 3).

30. Interdental mesial and distal papillae appearance in aesthetic zone (Appendix 3).
