Plain English summary of protocol

Background and study aims
Dental implants are small fixtures that are placed under the gum to work as the roots of a missing tooth. A crown or artificial tooth is then fitted to match the rest of the teeth. Various surface treatment options have been tested with the aim of improving the osseointegration (bone ingrowth) of dental implants, in order to reduce overall treatment time. The aim of this study is to investigate whether implant surface characteristics influence the osseointegration process, up to 6 weeks after dental implant insertion.

Who can participate?
Healthy patients with at least one missing tooth who do not require bone grafting

What does the study involve?
Patients are randomly allocated to one of three different surfaces for their dental implants. The study involves clinical and radiological examinations, dental implant placement, stability measurements immediately after implant placement and 6 weeks after surgery, prosthesis delivery 6 weeks after implant placement and peri-implant probing depth measurements 3 months after prosthesis delivery.

What are the possible benefits and risks of participating?
The benefits are getting an implant-supported prosthesis and with that getting back normal chewing function. The risks are the same as general dentoalveolar surgery as usual, such as soft or hard tissue injury, nerve injury, and bleeding during surgery.

Where is the study run from?
Semmelweis University (Hungary)

When is the study starting and how long is it expected to run for?
August 2019 to October 2020

Semmelweis University (Hungary)

Scientific titleThe early loading of different surface-modified implants: a randomized clinical trial
Study objectivesThe aim of this randomized controlled trial was to investigate whether the implant surface characteristics influence the osseointegration process, up to 6 weeks after dental implant insertion.
Ethics approval(s)Approved 12/09/2019, National Institute of Pharmacy and Nutrition, Medical General Department, Medical Research Council Budapest (Zrínyi str 3. Budapest 1051; +36 (0)1 8869 329; amd@ogyei.gov.hu), ref: OGYÉI/55197/2019
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedPatients with at least one missing tooth and requiring an implant-supported fixed partial denture
InterventionA computer-generated randomization scheme is used to allocate patients to three different groups. Randomization codes are secured in an opaque envelope. An external assessor, not previously involved in the study, prepares all the envelopes.

Patients are randomised to receive SA (alumina sandblasted and acid-etched), NH (bioabsorbable apatite nanocoating) or SLA (large-grit sandblasted and acid-etched) surface implants.

The implant stability is measured at the time of implant placement (primary stability) and 6 weeks after prosthesis delivery (secondary stability). Osstell and Periotest are applied to take all the measurements. The primary and secondary stability are compared in the three study groups. Finally, the peri-implant probing depth appearing after 3 months of loading is checked on six points around to the implant-supported prostheses.
Intervention typeProcedure/Surgery
Primary outcome measure1. Implant failure measured with clinical and radiological examinations 6 weeks after implant placement and 3 months after prosthesis delivery
2. Implant stability measured with Osstell and Periotest devices immediately after implant placement and 6 weeks after the surgery
Secondary outcome measuresPeri-implant probing depth measured with Williams-periodontal probe at 3 months after prosthesis delivery
Overall study start date01/08/2019
