Plain English summary of protocol

Background and study aims
Traditional dental implant site preparation methods pose challenges including tissue damage and compromised appearance. Piezosurgery offers a minimally invasive alternative, but its effectiveness is underexplored. This study aims to compare piezosurgery and conventional surgery for dental implant site preparation, focusing on bone density, implant stability, and bone loss.

Who can participate?
Patients aged 18-50 years who are missing at least two teeth, at least one of which is in the back region of the lower jaw

What does the study involve?
Patients are treated sequentially at the two sites where they are missing teeth: at one site implant placement is conducted using piezoelectric surgery and at the other site conventional surgery is used. Post-surgical evaluations were conducted at 6 and 9 months.

What are the possible benefits and risks of participating?
Participants may benefit from receiving dental implants. Possible risks are post-operative complications including pain and swelling.

Where is the study run from?
Army Hospital Research and Referral (India)

When is the study starting and how long is it expected to run for?
December 2016 to October 2023

Who is funding the study?
Army Hospital Research and Referral (India)

Primary study designInterventional
Secondary study designRandomised controlled trial
Study setting(s)Dental clinic, University/medical school/dental school

Ethics approval(s)

Approved 29/09/2016, Army Dental Centre (R&R) Institutional Committee (Dhaula Kuan, New Delhi, 110010, India; +91 (0)9862157110; dental.oc86-ar@gov.in), ref: 16CNAHMMDS000002

Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedDental implant
InterventionThirty patients with two edentulous sites, at least one of which was in the posterior mandibular region, were treated sequentially at two sites: Site A, where implant placement was conducted using piezoelectric surgery, and Site B, where conventional surgery was employed. Post-surgical evaluations were conducted at 6 and 9 months.
Intervention typeProcedure/Surgery
Primary outcome measure1. Bone density measured using dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scan at baseline, 6 and 9 months
2. Implant stability measured using resonance frequency analysis (RFA) scan at baseline and 6 months
Secondary outcome measuresPatient’s perception of surgery by measuring postoperative pain using a visual analogue scale (VAS) at 7 days postoperative
Overall study start date25/12/2016
Completion date31/10/2023
