Official title
A Randomized Controlled Trial Comparing Titanium Grade V (KS) Versus Titanium Grade IV (TS) Implants for the Treatment of Edentulous Mandible
Overview
To evaluate the clinical and radiographic outcomes of KS implants used to rehabilitate edentulous mandible with dental-retained overdentures, and to compare it with same treatment on TS implants
Interventions
- Device Implant placement with 3.5 mm diameter KS implants.
Implant placement in edentulous jaws for a prosthetic implant rehabilitation with implant-retained overdenture (mucosally supported), on two implants. with 3.5 mm diameter KS implants.After osseointegration, both dental implants will receive definitive prosthesis. - Device Implant placement with 3.5 mm diameter TS implants.
Implant placement in edentulous jaws for a prosthetic implant rehabilitation with implant-retained overdenture (mucosally supported), on two implants. with 3.5 mm diameter TS implants.After osseointegration, both dental implants will receive definitive prosthesis.
Primary outcome measures
- Number of implant failure [Time frame: Up to 5 years]
- Number of prosthesis failure [Time frame: Up to 5 years]
- Number of complications [Time frame: Up to 5 years]
- Rate of implant stability [Time frame: Up to 5 years]
Secondary outcome measures (2)
- Peri-implant marginal bone level changes [Time frame: At 1,3 and 5 years]
- Patient satisfaction [Time frame: At 1,3 and 5 years]
Eligibility criteria
Inclusion criteria
- Any edentulous patient (post-extractive sites must to be healed from at least 3 months), with sufficient bone height and width in the anterior mandible (between canines) to allow the placement of two implants of 3.5 mm diameter of at least 8.5 mm of length.
- 18 years or older, and able to sign an informed consent.
- Smokers will be included and categorized into: 1) non smokers; 2) moderate smokers (smoking up to 10 cigarettes/day); 3) heavy smokers (smoking more than 11 cigarettes/day).
- In case of post-extractive sites, they must have been healing for at least 3 months before being treated in the study.
