NCT06468592

Brief Summary

Dental implant procedures are performed on two groups of individuals who share the common characteristic of insufficient bone for traditional implantation. The first group lacks a palatal process, while the second group has a palatal process. Then, compare the initial primary stability of implants in the maxillary bone-type (D4) that were inserted tilted in the palatal process of the maxilla, palatally from the maxillary sinus, with implants inserted axially into the maxillary sinus by using a manual torque wrench.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • The initial implant stability

    Primary stability was recorded for all implants in both groups, estimated by Newton/cm (N/cm), using a manual torque wrench. This manual measure consists of a fixed arm installed above the implants and a moving arm moving away from the fixed arm in a clockwise direction, graduating from 5-45 Newtons. When the moving arm stops, the distance between it and the fixed arm expresses the first degree of the initial primary stability.

    one time assessment at five minutes following the completion of inserting implants.

Study Arms (2)

Tilted implants

EXPERIMENTAL

The tilted implants are inserted palatally into the maxillary sinus

Procedure: Tilted insertion of implants

Straight implants

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

The implants inserted into the maxillary sinus in an axial direction

Procedure: Straight insertion of implants

Interventions

Using osteotomes, implants are inserted and tilted from 30° to 45° into the palatal direction from the maxillary sinus.

Tilted implants

The implants are inserted in an axial direction into the maxillary sinus according to Summers' traditional technique.

Straight implants

Eligibility Criteria

Age32 Years - 73 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Patients must have inadequate bone density in the posterior region of the upper jaw.
  • Patients should maintain good oral hygiene.
  • The surgical site must be free from infection.
  • There should be no contraindications for oral surgery.
  • For the first group:
  • \- Patients in the first group must have a palatal process of the maxillary bone determined by radiographic examination.

You may not qualify if:

  • Patients with adequate bone volume to receive an implant.
  • Patients with systemic diseases that impair metabolism or healing at the surgical site.
  • Patients with contraindications for surgery, including cardiovascular disorders, blood clotting disorders, anticoagulant use, or uncontrolled diabetes.
  • Patients receiving medications that affect bone metabolism, such as corticosteroids, oral contraceptives, hormonal treatments, or those undergoing chemical or radiological therapies.
