Procedure: Implant placement
Registration Number
NCT05558800
Lead Sponsor
Saint-Joseph University
Brief Summary

Objective: Implant surface topography is a key element in achieving osseointegration. Nanostructured surfaces have shown promising results in accelerating and improving bone healing around dental implants. The main objective of the present clinical study is to compare, at 4 and 6w, bone-to-implant contact in implants having either machined surface (MAC), SLA medium roughness surface or a Nanostructured Calcium-Incorporated surface (XPEED®). Thirty five mini-implants with 3 different surface treatments (XPEED® (n=16) - SLA (n=13) - Machined (n=6)), were placed in the posterior maxilla of 11 patients then retrieved at either 4 or 6w in a randomized split-mouth study design.
