NCT06759246 | Completed DMC

• 1 other identifier: Implants01
• Study Type: interventional
• Target: 150
• Locations: 1 country

Brief Summary

This study aims to evaluate the clinical and radiological outcomes of short implants in the rehabilitation of single-tooth edentulism in the posterior maxilla. By assessing these outcomes, the research seeks to determine the effectiveness and long-term viability of short implants as a minimally invasive solution, particularly in cases where bone height is limited.

Conditions

Edentulism; Bone Atrophy, Alveolar; Sinus Pneumatization

Keywords

short implants; bone atrophy; sinus pneumatization; minimal invasive

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Clinical outcome

  Survival rate: A statistical analysis will be conducted to evaluate the implant survival rate at three specific time points: T1 (3 months), T2 (6 months), and T3 (2 years).

  2 years

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• Rx outcome

  2 years

Study Arms (1)

Atrophic maxillae

A group of patients with atrophic maxillae requiring rehabilitation for single-tooth edentulism.

Procedure: implant placement

Interventions
