- Brief Summary
DESCRIPTION: The Investigational Product "A-Ce toughened TZP nanocomposite implant" is a Medical Device (MD) intended for the dental rehabilitation of edentulous sites with fixed prosthesis. The "G3®-coated NK2® abutment" is a MD intended for the prevention of peri-implant bone loss due to peri-implantitis. The MD are for dental use and will be used exclusively on subjects who have signed an informed consent form and by approved study investigators.
OBJECTIVES: (a) To evaluate the safety and performance of the "A-Ce toughened TZP nanocomposite Implant" for its intended medical application purpose in the context of successful osseointegration of zirconia-based dental implants. (b) To evaluate the safety and performance of the "G3®-coated NK2® abutment" for its intended purpose in the context of peri-implantitis prevention. (c) To obtain the regulatory CE Mark Certification status for both medical devices.
TYPE OF INVESTIGATION: Randomized double-blind (patient, appraiser) controlled study.
CENTER/COUNTRY: Instituto de Cirugía Oral Avanzada (ICOA), Madrid, Spain
GROUPS:
Group A: 30 zirconia implants with 30 G3-coated abutments (test implant and abutment) Group B: 30 test implants with 30 uncoated (control) abutments Group C: 30 Ti implants (control) with 30 test abutments Group D: 30 control implants with 30 control abutments Group E: 3 test implants and 3 control implants, for histological/histomorphometric evaluation.
COMPARATIVE DEVICE: Commercial Ti dental implant.
STATISTICAL METHODOLOGY:
H0 : INPERIO performs worse (with statistical significance) than the commercial devices.
* Test implants achieve a higher failure rate than Ti implants.
* The clinical osseointegration parameter values are worse with statistical significance for test implants than for control implants.
* Histological and histomorphometric analysis shows worse quality and quantity of osseointegration for test implants than for Ti implants.
H1: There is no statistical significance between INPERIO and the commercial solution or INPERIO performs better (with statistical significance) than the commercial Ti implants.
* Test implants achieve the same failure rate or less than Ti implants.
* The clinical osseointegration parameter values are no different or are better with statistical significance for test implants than for control implants.
* The histological and histomorphometric analysis shows a similar or better quality and quantity of osseointegration for test implants than for Ti implants.

Group Intervention Description Group C - control implant and test abutment Titanium implants with G3-coated abutments (control implants, test abutments) Titanium implant and G3-coated abutment (control implant, test abutment). Dental sites that potentially qualify for dental implant rehabilitation will be randomly assigned to either the test group (zirconia implants) or the control group (titanium implants). Also, G3-coated and control (non-coated) abutments will be equally distributed on test and control implants, to discriminate between peri-implantitis prevention due to the G3-coating or due to the specific implant characteristics. This is a split-mouth study so that each participant can act as his or her own control and to allow between and within group comparisons. Group E - test and control implants Zirconia implants and titanium implants, for histological and histomorphometric evaluation. Zirconia implant and titanium implant for histological and histomorphometric evaluation. This study will be performed in the area of the wisdom teeth (a "non useful" site that will not interfere with the rest of the study or with the patient's life), so it can only be performed in patients who no longer have these teeth. The procedure will match the procedures described for Groups A-B-C-D. Group E implants will only remain in the mouth for 2 months, after which they will be removed for further analysis. The removal of these implants, for the patient, has exactly the same implications as a normal molar extraction. Group A - test implant and abutment Zirconia implants with G3-coated abutments (test implants and abutments) Zirconia implant and G3-coated abutment (test implant and abutment). Dental sites that potentially qualify for dental implant rehabilitation will be randomly assigned to either the test group (zirconia implants) or the control group (titanium implants). Also, G3-coated and control (non-coated) abutments will be equally distributed on test and control implants, to discriminate between peri-implantitis prevention due to the G3-coating or due to the specific implant characteristics. This is a split-mouth study so that each participant can act as his or her own control and to allow between and within group comparisons. Group B - test implant and control abutment Zirconia implants with control abutments (test implants, negative control abutments) Zirconia implant and control abutment (test implant, negative control abutment). Dental sites that potentially qualify for dental implant rehabilitation will be randomly assigned to either the test group (zirconia implants) or the control group (titanium implants). Also, G3-coated and control (non-coated) abutments will be equally distributed on test and control implants, to discriminate between peri-implantitis prevention due to the G3-coating or due to the specific implant characteristics. This is a split-mouth study so that each participant can act as his or her own control and to allow between and within group comparisons. Group D - control implant and abutment Titanium implants with control abutments (negative control implants and abutments) Titanium implant and control abutment (negative control implant and abutment). Dental sites that potentially qualify for dental implant rehabilitation will be randomly assigned to either the test group (zirconia implants) or the control group (titanium implants).

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Implant performance verification: osseointegration (in vivo). Change will be assessed. Day 1 (abutment connection), 3 months, 6 months, 1 year. Osseointegration quantity: bone density/quality (assessed via standard parallel periapical radiographs).
G3-coated abutment performance in peri-implantitis prevention. Change will be assessed. Day 1 (abutment connection), 3 months, 6 months, 1 year. Assessment of crestal bone loss. Peri-implantitis is defined as bone loss around implants, so crestal bone loss will be assessed using the gold standard parallel X-Ray technique to evaluate any changes in bone to implant contact (BIC) at both mesial and distal aspects of all implants.
Implant performance verification: implant survival rate. Change will be assessed. Day 1 (abutment connection), 3 months, 6 months, 1 year. Number of functional implants vs. number of implants inserted.
Implant performance verification: osseointegration (ex vivo). 2 months after implantation. Please refer to Arms and Interventions, Experimental: Group E. For ethical reasons, this sample size is limited to six (6) implants, 3 test and 3 controls. Trephined blocks containing the explanted implants will be stored in a 5% formaldehyde solution (pH 7). They will be immersed in a 4% formaldehyde and 1% calcium solution and processed for ground sectioning following the Donath \& Breuner methods. Each implant block will be individualized, embedded in methyl-methacrylate and stained with combined Harris Haematoxyline and Wheatley. The analysis will be performed using a transmitted light microscope equipped with a digital camera. Results will be inferred to clinical osseointegration data, which is the way to assess osseointegration in everyday chairside practice.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Prosthetic complications. Change will be assessed. Day 1 (abutment connection), 3 months, 6 months, 1 year. Assessment of parameters that may act as predisposing factors for prosthetic complications (checklist: smoker; drinking habits, etc.).
