Peri-implant Health of Dental Implants in the Posterior Region; an Evaluation After 10 Years

NCT05650099 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 126

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

* Background Adaptation of a dental implant and its restoration to the existing anatomy in the region of a missing tooth is presumed to be a reliable procedure. During the follow-up it appears that peri-implant bone level is stable, peri-implant soft tissues are healthy and patients are satisfied with the result. However, the number of 10-years studies on implants in the posterior region of maxilla and mandible is limited and much more studies with longer follow-up periods are needed to confirm the positive outcomes.
* Main research question The primary objective of the study is marginal bone level changes by radiological assessments at 10-years follow-up. Secondary objectives are implant and restoration survival, condition of peri- implant mucosa and patients' satisfaction.
* Design The study design is an observational study of a group of patients which were treated 10 years ago with a dental implant and an implant-supported restoration because of a missing tooth in the posterior region. Outcomes: primary outcome is the change in marginal peri-implant bone level 10 years after placing the definitive restoration. Secondary outcome measures will be implant and restoration survival, peri-implant mucosa health and patients' satisfaction using a questionnaire.
* Expected results Stable peri-implant bone levels, stable peri-implant soft tissue levels, high implant and restoration survival rate and satisfied patients.

Conditions

  • Missing Teeth

Interventions

DEVICE

One or two dental implants (Biomet3I dental implant system) were placed 10 years ago

All patients were 10 years ago referred to the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery (University of Groningen, University Medical Hospital) because of missing posterior teeth and were treated with dental implant placement and implant-supported restorations. Patients will have a regular routine control visit (as part of regular follow-up of these patients)
