Brief summary

This prospective, randomized study will evaluate the performance of the Osseotite Certain Prevail implant when compared to that of the non-lateralized version of the implant. Study (null) hypothesis: the crestal bone changes that take place after placement and loading of the Osseotite lateralized implants will be the same as for a similar but non-lateralized Osseotite Certain implant.

Detailed description

This is a prospective, randomized, longitudinal study in which qualified patients with partial edentulism will receive a short-fixed bridge restoration. Each implant site is randomized to receive either the Osseotite Certain Lateralized (test) or the Osseotite Certain Non-lateralized (control). All implants will receive a temporary prosthesis after two months of placement. Enrollment will include up to 20 patients (approximately 60 implants per center) at each participating study center.

Inclusion criteria

* patients of either sex and any race greater than 18 years of age * patients for whom a decision has already been made to use dental implants for treating an existing condition specifically: A partially edentulous short-span fixed case of less than 4 implants in the maxilla or mandible; the prosthesis may be anterior, posterior, or transitionally anterior-posterior; no cantilevers allowed but one interior crown may be a pontic * patients must be physically able to tolerate conventional surgical and restorative procedures * patients must agree to be evaluated for each study visit, especially the yearly follow-up visits

Exclusion criteria

* patients with active infection or severe inflammation in the areas intended for implant placement * patients with a \>10 cigarette per day smoking habit * patients with uncontrolled diabetes mellitus * patients with metabolic bone disease * patients who have had treatment with therapeutic radiation to the head within the past 12 months * patients in need of allogenic bone grafting a the site of the intended study implant * patients who are pregnant at the screening visit * patients with evidence of severe para-functional habits such as bruxing or clenching * patients with cantilevers and more than one pontic per bridge

Participant flow

Recruitment details

Up to 120 patients were enrolled across all centers, with enrollment efforts beginning in February 2005. Enrollment period remained open until June 2006. Two participating sites were Universities and four were private practices.

Pre-assignment details

Pre-treatment included a screening visit (enroll those meeting all inclusion criteria), signing informed consent, and pre-surgical data collection.Patients returned for implant placement surgery, followed by temporary prosthesis placement at 2 months.

Outcome results

Primary

Crestal Bone Regression (Amount of Bone Measured) Around Each Implant Unit

Millimeters of crestal bone observed and measured in a radiograph of each study implant is measured and averaged to obtain the mean crestal bone loss or gain for each implant unit.

Time frame: 1 year

Population: population analyzed was all patients receiving implants enrolled in the study, those reported here actually represent the number of implants being followed at the 12 month follow-up time point (time of analysis).
