Background and study aims
The introduction of dental implants as an option to replace missing teeth is considered one of the most revolutionary developments in modern dentistry. One of the key aspects for these implants to be successful is to have an aesthetic tooth on top that blends harmoniously with the neighbouring teeth. The material used for this prosthetic tooth is of the utmost importance to achieve the desired aesthetic result. However, the wide variety of existing materials and the lack of solid evidence to guide the clinician’s choice is reported as one of the main challenges to overcome. Based on this, the aim of this study is to compare three types of materials to fabricate prosthetic teeth over implants.
Who can participate?
Patients aged over 19 years requiring single tooth extraction in the upper anterior and premolar region of the mouth
What does the study involve?
Participants are randomly allocated to receive a metal-porcelain implant tooth, an E-max implant tooth or a zirconium implant tooth to replace the missing one. The success of these restorations is evaluated at 12 months.
What are the possible risks and benefits of participating?
The main benefit of this study is providing the participants with a dental implant to replace a missing tooth instead of another treatment that would not suit their needs or may have a negative impact on neighbouring teeth, such as a fixed dental prosthesis. The potential risks associated with this treatment are mainly associated with the minor surgical procedure needed to place a dental implant and the unlikely scenario in which a dental implant failed. The main risks are listed below:
Swelling of the lips, chin, cheeks, and other tissues of the face, mouth, and neck with possible bruising and discoloration. Damage to and possible loss of other teeth, fillings, or other dental work, which will require root canal treatment, tooth extraction, or new fillings or restorations. Infection which will require antibiotic treatment, possibly further surgery, and may lead to loss of the implant. Discomfort which may require the use of pain medication for several days or longer, and which will also require at-home recuperation for the same period of time or longer. Bleeding which may be prolonged or heavy, and may require additional surgery or other treatment. Sinus or nasal problems, including but not limited to nasal stuffiness, bleeding, infection, or creation of an opening between the nose or sinus and mouth, which may require surgery. Poor healing of the gum tissue which may result in exposure of the implant and its loss. Loss or resorption of the bone which may result in failure of the implant. Injury of the nerves near the treatment site which causes pain, numbness, or tingling of the lips or areas of the face. This effect is usually temporary but may be permanent. Stretching or damage to the corners of the mouth with cracking, bleeding, and bruising.

| Scientific title | Aesthetic evaluation of different materials for implant-supported, single-tooth restorations: a randomized controlled clinical trial |
| Study objectives | 1. There are differences in the Pink Aesthetic Score (PES) at 12 months between the crowns made of different materials 2. There are differences in radiographic bone levels, periodontal measurements, White Aesthetic Score (WES) and patient-reported outcomes between the crowns made of different materials |
| Ethics approval(s) | Approved 28/02/2018, Ethical committee of Murcia University (Comité Ético de Investigación Clínica (CEIC); Calle Santo Cristo, 1, Murcia, Spain, 30001; +34 (0)868883614; comision.etica.investigacion@um.es), ref: 1746/2017 |
| Health condition(s) or problem(s) studied | Single-tooth implant replacement |
| Intervention | Forty-five immediate dental implants are provided for 45 adult patients who require the extraction of a single tooth in the maxillary aesthetic region. A temporary prosthesis is provided at 8 weeks after placement followed final prosthesis at 24 weeks post-implantation. Once the impression for the final restoration is taken, patients are randomly allocated into three groups: 15 patients in the control group received a metal-porcelain restoration 15 patient in test group 1 receive an E-max restoration 15 patients in test group 2 receive a zirconium restoration Aesthetic indexes (PES/WES), radiographic bone loss, periodontal parameters and visual analogue scale are evaluated at the time of final restoration placement (T0) and at 12-months post-loading (T12). The 45 patients included in the study are randomly assigned to the test (1), test (2) or control group by balanced block randomization using a computer-generated table. Treatment assignment is concealed to the treating surgeon by opaque envelopes that are opened only after taking the impression for final restoration. Patients are blinded regarding treatment allocation. |
| Intervention type | Procedure/Surgery |
| Primary outcome measure | The aesthetic of gums around false teeth measured using the Pink Aesthetic Score index at 12 months from the time the treatment is completed |
| Secondary outcome measures | 1. Radiographic bone loss measured from the mesial and distal aspect of the implant shoulder to the first bone-to-implant contact at 12 months post-loading 2. Periodontal measurements including probing pocket depth, papilla height, gingival margin position, width of keratinised tissue, plaque index and bleeding index, taken on the day of the crown fit (T0) and at 12 months post-loading (T12) 3. The aesthetic of implant-supported false teeth measured using the White Aesthetic score (WES) at 12 months from the time the treatment is completed 4. Patients' reported outcomes measured using a visual analogue scale at 1-year post-loading |
