NCT05642520

Brief Summary

Objetive: The main objective of this clinical trial is to assess whether the oval section abutment of a 2.9mm implant achieves a greater covering of the tooth-implant papilla compared to a circular section abutment in 3.3mm implants in upper lateral incisors and lower central / lateral incisors. Material and methods: fourty patients received unitary implants of 3.3mm or 2.9 mm diameter to replace the absence of upper lateral incisor or lower central/lateral incisor with an edentulous space of at least 6.4mm (mesio-distally). Esthetic and clinical parameters were evaluated 12 months after installation of the prosthesis. Condition or disease: dental implants Intervention/treatment: 3.3 or 2.9 mm diameter dental implants Phase: Not Applicable

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • The main objective was the papillary index (PI) (Jemt, 1997)

    It consists in four scores: 0 = absence of interdental papilla; 1 = filling of the interdental space less than 50% of the soft tissues; 2 = filling of the interdental space greater than 50% of the soft tissues; 3 = total filling of the interdental space with good aesthetic harmony; 4 = Hyperplasic interdental papilla formation with irregular soft tissue. Both mesial and distal papilla will be recorded.

    12 months

Secondary Outcomes (7)

  • To observe the stability of the soft and hard tissues after one year in function: probing depth

    12 months

  • To observe the stability of the soft and hard tissues after one year in function:bleeding on probing

    12 months

  • To observe the stability of the soft and hard tissues after one year in function: suppuration on probing

    12 months

  • To observe the stability of the soft and hard tissues after one year in function: Modified plaque index (MPI)

    12 months

  • Assessment of survival rate of the implants

    12 months

  • +2 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (2)

oval section abutment of a 2.9mm

EXPERIMENTAL

The choice of the diameter to be used as recommended by the manufacter, was determined by the mesiodistal width between the two adjacent natural teeth, in order to maintain at least 1.5mm between the implant and the adjacent tooth. When said the distance was between 5.9 and 6.3 mm, a 2.9 mm implant was placed. Implant designs are made of a titanium and zirconium alloy (Roxolid®) with a SLActive® surface (Institut Straumann AG, Basel, Switzerland).

Procedure: Circular section abutment of 3.3 mm

When said the distance was between 6.4 and 7.1 mm, a 3.3 mm implant was placed. Both implant designs are made of a titanium and zirconium alloy (Roxolid®) with a SLActive® surface (Institut Straumann AG, Basel, Switzerland).

Model Details: The study was a double-blind controlled clinical trial (RCT) comparing the oval section abutment of a 2.9mm (test group) to a circular section abutment in 3.3mm (control group) implants for the replacement of a single tooth. The choice of the diameter to be used as recommended by the manufacter, was determined by the mesiodistal width between the two adjacent natural teeth, in order to maintain at least 1.5mm between the implant and the adjacent tooth. When said the distance was between 5.9 and 6.3 mm, a 2.9 mm implant was placed, while if the width ranged between 6.4 and 7.1 mm, a 3.3 mm implant was placed. Both implant designs are made of a titanium and zirconium alloy (Roxolid®) with a SLActive® surface (Institut Straumann AG, Basel, Switzerland).
