Brief summary

The objective of this randomized controlled trial is to evaluate changes in marginal bone levels and soft tissue dimensions around implants placed with the IAI at different positions in relation to the alveolar crest

Detailed description

The objective of this randomized controlled trial is to evaluate changes in marginal bone levels and soft tissue dimensions around implants placed with the IAI at different positions in relation to the alveolar crest. Subjects will be included with the absence of 2-4 teeth in the posterior region of the maxilla or mandibular. Twenty patients will be recruited. Two implant placement depths, equicrestal and subcrestal, were randomly assigned to two sites of each patient with a predefined randomization tables (one crestal implant and one subcrestal implant). Patients will be recalled for oral hygiene maintenance and prosthetic controls at 1year, 3 years, 5 years after final restoration.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Cumulative survival rate (CSR)Up to 5 years after final restorationCumulative survival rate will be assessed at final restoration, 1 year, 3 years, 5 years after final restoration
Pocket probing depth (PPD)Up to 5 years after final restorationPocket probing depth will be assessed at 1 year, 3 years, 5 years after final restoration
Plaque index (PI)Up to 5 years after final restorationPlaque index will be assessed at 1 year, 3 years, 5 years after final restoration
Bleeding on probing (BOP)Up to 5 years after final restorationBleeding on probing will be assessed at 1 year, 3 years, 5 years after final restoration
