- Registration Number
- NCT04328051
- Lead Sponsor
- University of Barcelona
- Brief Summary
This study consists in a double-blinded randomized controlled trial which objective is to assess the effect of the implant-abutment connection type -external hexagon, internal hexagon and conical connection- in the periimplant marginal bone loss in vertical side and the bacterial leakage 12 months after prosthesis placement.
- Detailed Description
Location: This study is going to take place in the Dentistry Hospital of the University of Barcelona (Campus of Bellvitge).
Study subjects: The sample (105 patients) consists of patients with single tooth edentulous spaces or posterior maxillary and/or mandible edentulous spaces in need of dental implants with screw-retained single fixed crowns. All of them are being properly informed about the study according to the Comité Ético (CEIC) del Hospital Odontològic Universitat de Barcelona guidelines, and informed consent must be signed prior to the interventions.
Material: Registration papers for the study, dental implants, surgery material, prosthetic components, Florida Probe Software®, Periapical x-rays, computer, Software Stata 14 and Software ImageJ®.
Determinations: Clinical, radiographic and microbiologic measures since implant placement, prosthesis placement and 3, 6, 9 and 12 months after it.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Change in Vertical Marginal Bone Loss (VMBL) Since implant placement (Timing 0) through study completion (Timing 5), an average of 1 year. Distance in millimetres between the implant platform and the point of the intra-bone defect that is more apical.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Early implant failure Since implant placement (Timing 0) through prosthesis placement (Timing 1). Implant with mobility or failure of the osseointegration process before the prosthesis placement.
Late implant failure Since prosthesis placement (Timing 1) through study completion (Timing 5), an average of 1 year. Implant with mobility or failure of the osseointegration process after the prosthesis placement.
Vertical Marginal Bone Loss Tax 12 months after prosthesis placement. Vertical bone loss in millimetres per implant and unit of time.
Prosthetic complications Since prosthesis placement (Timing 1) through study completion (Timing 5), an average of 1 year. Screw (which connects the crown with the implant) fracture or prosthesis fracture, chipping of the ceramic prosthesis, loosening of the screw (which connects the crown with the implant) or any other prosthetic components.
Bacterial leakage 12 months after prosthesis placement. Quantitative PCR in real time to determine the total amount of bacteria and in particular, of 10 pathogenic species: Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans, Porphyromonas gingivalis, Tannerella forsythensis, Treponema denticola, Prevotella intermedia, Peptostreptococcus micros, Fusobacterium nucleatum, Campylobacter rectus, Eikenella corrodens and Candida albicans.
Probing pocket depth Since prosthesis placement (Timing 1) through study completion (Timing 5), an average of 1 year. Distance in millimetres from the gingival margin to the bottom of the periodontal pocket measured with the periodontal probe. Determined in six points per tooth or implant (Buccal: mesial, medial and distal. Palatal or lingual: mesial, medial and distal).
Mucosal recession Since prosthesis placement (Timing 1) through study completion (Timing 5), an average of 1 year. Distance in millimetres from the cemento-enamel junction of the tooth or from the implant platform to the gingival margin when it is located apically. Determined in six points per tooth or implant (Buccal: mesial, medial and distal. Palatal or lingual: mesial, medial and distal).
Mucosal hyperplasia Since prosthesis placement (Timing 1) through study completion (Timing 5), an average of 1 year. Distance in millimetres from the gingival margin to the cemento-enamel junction of the tooth or to the implant platform when the gingiva is located more coronal than them. Determined in six points per tooth or implant (Buccal: mesial, medial and distal. Palatal or lingual: mesial, medial and distal).
Clinical attachment level Since prosthesis placement (Timing 1) through study completion (Timing 5), an average of 1 year. Probing pocket depth (mm) plus the recession (mm) or probing pocket depth minus the hyperplasia (mm). Determined in six points per tooth or implant (Buccal: mesial, medial and distal. Palatal or lingual: mesial, medial and distal).
O'Leary plaque index First visit Plaque presence in the dentogingival or implantogingival union. Determined in four points per tooth or implant (Buccal: mesial, medial and distal. Palatal or lingual). Expressed as the percentage (%) of tooth or implant surfaces with plaque presence divided with the total of tooth or implant surfaces in mouth and multiplied per 100.
Bleeding on probing Since first visit through study completion (Timing 5), an average of 1 year. Presence of blood in the gingival margin after determining the probing pocket depth. Determined in six points per tooth or implant (Buccal: mesial, medial and distal. Palatal or lingual: mesial, medial and distal). Expressed as the percentage (%) of tooth or implant surfaces with blood divided with the total of tooth or implant surfaces in mouth and multiplied per 100.
Suppuration on probing Since first visit through study completion (Timing 5), an average of 1 year. Presence of purulent material in the gingival margin after determining the probing pocket depth. Determined in six points per tooth or implant (Buccal: mesial, medial and distal. Palatal or lingual: mesial, medial and distal). Expressed as the percentage (%) of tooth or implant surfaces with pus divided with the total of tooth or implant surfaces in mouth and multiplied per 100.
