Understanding, Modulation and Memorization of Indicators Associated to Peri-implantitis: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Communication strategies are encouraged to enhance patients´ understanding of potential events related to implant therapy such as peri-implantitis. Moreover, it is key to provide accurate information to patients receiving dental implants to reduce false expectations and to minimize the alterations concerning satisfaction. Information leaflets based in the "health-belief model" proved efficiency in improving health judgments, decisions and behaviors, in particular when supplemented with visual aids. Hence, it was the purpose of the present study to test the effectiveness of different communication strategies to enhance and modulate the understanding and memorization of risk indicators associated to peri-implantitis.

A prospective randomized controlled three-arm study is being conducted in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki on human studies. Three groups are defined to test the hypothesis that visual aids improve the understanding, modulation and memorization of peri-implantitis and related indicators as follows:

  • Test group1 - Leaflet with visual aid (L-VA): Information concerning etiology, prevalence, risk indicators and preventive measures of peri-implantitis were included (supplementary figure 1). Relevant scientific bibliography supported the statements. Along, pictograms were supplemented to display the prevalence of disease with and without the known indicator.
  • Test group2 - Leaflet with visual aid (L-NVA): Information concerning etiology, prevalence, risk indicators and preventive measures of peri-implantitis were included (supplementary figure 2). Relevant scientific bibliography supported the statements. No pictograms were supplemented.
  • Control group - No leaflet (NL): Only verbal information was provided to the patient during initial interview.

Patients will be randomly assigned to the tests or control groups according to the last digit of their chart number. As such, patients with records ending 1-4, 4-7 and 8-0 were included in test group1, test group2 and control group, respectively. When reached the total sample size of any of the groups, patients were only recruited for the remaining groups to complete the total sample size. A questionnaire based on the "health-belief model" will be collected from every eligible patient at baseline, 3- and 6-month follow-up

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

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.

Study Type

Enrollment (Actual)

Enrollment

The number of participants in a clinical study. The "anticipated" enrollment is the target number of participants that the researchers need for the study.
99

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 to 80 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Description

The following inclusion criteria were applied: partially or completely edentulous patients aged 18-80 years and rehabilitated with implant-supported, single-crown fixed prostheses or implant-supported overdentures; smokers or non-smokers; absence of infectious disease at the time of implant placement; and absence of systemic disorders or medications known to alter bone metabolism. Subjects were excluded if they were pregnant; presented uncontrolled medical conditions or diseases (i.e., diabetes mellitus with HbA1c level >8); or presented zygomatic or pterygoid implants. Patients with treated peri-implantitis/mucositis were likewise excluded.

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
Intervention / Treatment

Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
Experimental: Test group1 - Leaflet with visual aid
Information concerning etiology, prevalence, risk indicators and preventive measures of peri-implantitis were included. Relevant scientific bibliography supported the statements. Along, pictograms were supplemented to display the prevalence of disease with and without the known indicator.
Behavioral: Leatlet + visual aid (pictogram)
The questionnaires were collected at baseline (at the end of the initial interview and once the patients assigned within the test groups declared to have read the leaflet) at 3- and 6-month follow-up. The questionnaire included demographic data such as age, gender, civil status, occupation (coded according to the CNO-11(2010), presence of systemic disorder, smoking and number of implants. Moreover, data concerning history of periodontal disease and type of prosthesis were further documented and added to demographics.
Experimental: Test group2 - Leaflet with visual aid (L-NVA)
Information concerning etiology, prevalence, risk indicators and preventive measures of peri-implantitis were included. Relevant scientific bibliography supported the statements. No pictograms were supplemented.
Behavioral: Leaflet + no visual aid (no pictogram)
The questionnaires were collected at baseline (at the end of the initial interview and once the patients assigned within the test groups declared to have read the leaflet) at 3- and 6-month follow-up. The questionnaire included demographic data such as age, gender, civil status, occupation (coded according to the CNO-11(2010), presence of systemic disorder, smoking and number of implants. Moreover, data concerning history of periodontal disease and type of prosthesis were further documented and added to demographics.
No Intervention: • Control group - No leaflet (NL)
Only verbal information was provided to the patient during initial interview.
