The aim of this study was to evaluate the 7 mm long implants NobelSpeedy Shorty and Brånemark System Mk III Shorty: by determining the marginal bone remodeling, implant survival rate, soft tissue health and maintenance.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

The primary endpoint was the change in marginal bone levels (in mm) from the time of implant insertion to follow-up visits (3, 6, 12, 36 and 60 months).

Further endpoints were:

  • cumulative survival rates of the implants
  • soft tissue parameters (papilla index, bleeding on probing)
  • plaque formation

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (ADULT, OLDER_ADULT)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Yes

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • The subjects should have an osseous architecture enough to receive an implant with a diameter of at least 3.75 mm for Brånemark System Mk III Shorty or 4 mm for NobelSpeedy Shorty and a sufficient amount of bone for placing implants with a length of 7 mm.
  • The final tightening torque at installation should be 35-45 Ncm without further rotation and should not exceed 45 Ncm.
  • The subject as well as the implant site(s) should fulfill criteria for immediate provizionalization.
  • Immediate insertion (e.g. placement of the implant immediately after extraction) will not constitute an exclusion criterion.
  • The implants site(s) should be free from extraction remnants.
  • The subject should be healthy and compliant with good oral hygiene.
  • The subject should be available for the 5-year term of the investigation.
  • Favorable and stable occlusal relationship

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Alcohol or drug abuse as noted in patient records or in patient history.
  • Health conditions, which do not permit the surgical procedure.
  • Reason to believe that the treatment might have a negative effect on the subject's total situation (psychiatric problems), as noted in patient records or in patient history.
  • The subject is not able to give her/his informed consent to participate.
  • Any disorders in the planned implant area such as previous tumors, chronic bone disease, or previous irradiation.
  • Severe bruxism or other destructive habits.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Marginal Bone Remodeling
Time Frame: from implant insertion to 6, 12, 36 and 60 months

Marginal bone remodeling is calculated for each side of the implant (mesial and distal) separately, as the difference between bone levels at two time points. The average of mesial and distal remodeling is then calculated for each implant site (paired for each side between two different points). Negative numbers indicate bone loss. Implant insertion was defined as a baseline.

Missing data was not imputed and not included in evaluation.
from implant insertion to 6, 12, 36 and 60 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Cumulative Survival Rates of the Implants
Time Frame: implant insertion to follow-up visits (6, 12, 36 and 60 months)
An implant was reported to be a surviving implant when it remained in the jaw and was functionally loaded even if not all the individual success criteria were fulfilled (i) an implant that causes no allergic, toxic or gross infectious reactions either locally or systemically, ii) offered anchorage to a functional prosthesis, iii) showed no signs of fracture or bending, iv) showed no signs of peri-implant radiolucency on an intraoral radiograph using a paralleling technique strictly perpendicular to the implant-bone interface, and v) showed no mobility when individually tested by either tapping or rocking with a hand instrument).

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
