Bone Healing at Implants Installed in Sites Prepared Either With a Sonic Device or Drills

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Alveolar Bone Loss

• Registration Number: NCT04022265
• Lead Sponsor: ARDEC Academy

Brief Summary

The purpose was to evaluate histomorphometrically the early healing at implants installed in sites prepared with either a sonic device or conventional drills.

Detailed Description

Sixteen volunteer patients will be recruited. Two titanium mini-implants will be installed in the distal segments of the maxilla in recipient sites prepared with either a sonic device or conventional drills. Biopsies containing the mini-implants will be retrieved after 2 weeks in eight patients, and after 6 weeks in the other eight patients. Histomorphometric analyses will be performed

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
New bone in contact with the implant surface	After 6 weeks, to evaluate the healing prior to load with a prosthesis	The percentages of new bone in contact with the implant surface will be evaluated in the histomorphometric analysis

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
The percentage of total mineralized bone in contact with the implant surface.	After 6 weeks to evaluate the healing prior to load with a prosthesis	The percentages of new bone in contact with the implant surface will be evaluated in the histomorphometric analysis
