Evaluation and Comparison of clinical efficacy of indigenously designed and produced titanium dental implant system with hybrid threads and anti-rotational features with Straumann implant: A randomized controlled clinical trial

A dental implant is an artificial tooth root made of a naturaland/or synthetic biomaterial. Biocompatibility of biomedical grade titanium alloy (Ti6Al4V) is wellestablished in clinical settings. Food and Drug Administration (FDA, US) hasalready approved Ti6Al4V as a biocompatible material with no reported healthissues in case of implant surgeries. In the presentstudy, a novel design of dental implant screw is innovated and manufacturedusing biomedical grade titanium alloy (Ti6Al4V). Further, this indigenous dentalimplant system is surface modified using sandblasting and acid etching inorder to enhance and promote the process of osseointegration. As a part of a clinical study, we would like to conduct a clinical study for thesedental implant screws fabricated using computer numerical control (CNC) machiningand electrical discharge machining (EDM), in humans.  The ingenious implant will be compared with the commercially and clinically available Straumann implants. We would like to evaluatethe good clinical outcomes after the placement of the newly deisgned implants. The hypothesis of the study is that  "Surface modifiedindigenouslydesigned and produced titanium dental implant system with hybrid threads andanti-rotational features demonstrate clinically relevant implant success rate."
