NCT04459494

Brief Summary

The aim of this clinical study is to compare two different approaches during dental implant applications. One group of patients in the study received flapless approach which is performed without surgical reflection of soft tissues (gums) during implant surgery. In the control group of the study, patients received conventional flap approach in which flap reflections performed on soft tissues (gums) of the patients. After the surgery patients were monitored for marginal bone loss around implants and discomfort after the surgery for 3 months. And received data statistically analyzed to compare the different surgical procedures.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Early marginal bone loss around implant neck.

    Bite wing x-rays taken with parallel technique for both groups were evaluated and recorded between the baseline and the 3rd month around the implant neck.

    Immediately after implant placement - 3 months after surgery.

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Visual analog scale -Patient discomfort after surgery.

    Immediately after implant surgery - 3 days after surgery - 7 days after surgery .

  • The Turkish translation of Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14) forms - Patient discomfort after surgery.

    Immediately after implant surgery - 3 days after surgery - 7 days after surgery .

Study Arms (2)

Test group

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients undergoing dental implant treatment without flap removal (Test Group)

Procedure: Flapless implant surgery.

Control group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Patients who will receive dental implants by removing conventional full thickness flaps (Control group)

Procedure: Conventional implant surgery.

Interventions

Local anesthesia will be applied to the patients in the test group, and then the implant socket will be prepared without removing the flap and a dental implant will be placed. Bite-wing film will be taken to control the implants in the same session after surgery, and patients will be given VAS (visual analog scale) to perform their assessment of pain on the 3rd day and 7th day. Patients will be given an appointment again after 3 months of treatment. In this session, implants will be evaluated with bite-wing film.

Test group

Local anesthesia will be applied to the patients in the control group, and then the implant socket will be prepared after reflecting the flap and a dental implant will be placed. Patients in the control group will receive a full thickness flap elevation and an implant socket will be prepared afterwards the implant will be placed and then the flap will be closed with 4-0 silk suture. Bite-wing film will be taken from both groups to control the implants in the same session after surgery, and patients will be given VAS (visual analog scale) to perform their assessment of pain on the 3rd day and 7th day. Patients will be given an appointment again after 3 months of treatment. In this session, implants will be evaluated with bite-wing film.
