Plain English Summary

Background and study aims
The use of dental implants to replace lost teeth is an acceptable and common treatment with success rates of 90-100%. Titanium has been widely used in the manufacture of dental implants and the fact that cosmetic expectations in dentistry increased and research in the field of using whole ceramic materials to compensate for the natural tooth was widely used. Zirconia was used for the manufacture of anatomical ceramic implants due to its excellent biological acceptance, good biomechanical properties, and being anatomical, as it takes the shape of the natural tooth root in addition to the color match.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the clinical performance of anatomical zirconia implant and to compare it with non-anatomical zirconia implant, in addition, to evaluate the effect of different types of crowns (composite resin and porcelain fused to metal) on the success of anatomically modified zirconia implants.

Who can participate?
Adults over 18 years, who require a tooth replacement

What does the study involve?
Half of the participants will receive anatomical zirconia implant and the other half will recieve non-anatomical zirconia implant. Patients will be followed up for 12 months.

What are the possible benefits and risks of participating?
None

Where is the study run from?
Damascus University (Syria)

When is the study starting and how long is it expected to run for?
November 2018 to September 2021

Scientific titleEvaluation of clinical performance for different types of modified anatomic zirconia implants restoration
Study hypothesis1. Composite resin crowns may be better than porcelain fused to metal crowns over zirconia implants in terms of bone absorption around them
2. Anatomical zirconia implant might be better than non-anatomical zirconia implant
Ethics approval(s)Approved 29/04/2019, Council for Scientific Research and Upper Graduate Studies (Damascus University, Faculty of Dentistry, Mazzeh Highway, Damascus, Syria ; +963113341864; manager@hcsr.gov.sy), ref:2552
ConditionReplacement of hopeless teeth with zirconia implant
InterventionGroup1: 20 anatomical zirconia implants divided into 10 implants will receive 10 composite resin crowns and 10 implants will receive 10 porcelain fused to metal crowns.
Group 2: 20 non-anatomical zircon implants divided into 10 implants will receive 10 composite resin crowns and 10 implants will receive 10 porcelain fused to metal crowns.
Randomisation is by sealed envelope.

The patient will be examined, the clinical and medical story will be taken, the oral healthcare will be evaluated, the work plan is explained to him and the written consent is taken to enter the research sample and after the clinical examination of the patient is conducted, Anterior, lateral, occlusal, photographs and cone beam computerized radiograph (CBCT) will taken, which are used for the radiographic evaluation of the tooth to be extracted, to make measurements of the level alveolar bone, and to measure the bone density around the root.

The extracted tooth is taken to the dental laboratory and a scan is performed using a scanner and by computer aided design -computer aided manufacturing device (CAD-CAM) , we can add an abutment in the coronal section of the root, thus obtaining the final implant shape then we will got the anatomical zirconia implant the same as the extracted tooth. Similarly the non anatomical zirconia implant is manufactured to replace lost teeth in the old extraction area using the final drill that will be used by scanning it to manufacture the implant as the same of it. The retention of the implants is measured immediately after the implantation and after one and three months, using the perio test device, additionally the Bone absorption measured using periapical radiographs immediately after implantation , 3,12 months later. Three months after implantation the implants divided randomizelly to receive final composite resin crowns or porcelain fused to metal crowns, discoloration of the crown will measured using crown discoloration index, and crown fracture will measured using crown fracture index 6,12 months later.
Intervention typeProcedure/Surgery
Primary outcome measureRetention of the implants is measured using perio test device immediately after implantation and at 1 and 3 months
Secondary outcome measures1. Bone absorption measured using periapical radiographs immediately after implantation and 3 and 12 months
2. Discoloration of the crown measured using crown discolouration index at 6 and 12 months
3. Crown fracture measured using crown fracture index at 6 and 12 months
