Brief summary

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a recognized factor affecting implant complication rates, including peri-implantitis and peri-implant bone loss, and the apico-coronal position of implants seems interfere on the conditions of peri-implant tissues. However, the influence of the vertical implant position in type 2 diabetics (T2DM) is unclear. This split-mouth randomized controlled trial evaluated the impact of implants of machined-collar placed at crestal level or supracrestally in T2DM rehabilitated with implant-retained overdentures on the clinical, tomographic and immunoinflammatory peri-implant outcomes after implant loading.

Detailed description

Considering the outcomes achieved with implants with machined-collar inserted supracrestally, it would be relevant to investigate whether this therapeutic strategy could be considered as a more effective approach in the rehabilitation with dental implants of individuals with type 2 DM, since these patients may be more disposed to peri-implant changes, both from the point of view of marginal bone remodeling as related to local variations in immunoinflammatory response. Thus, the propose of this split-mouth randomized controlled trial was to compare the impact of crestal level or supracrestally implant platform in T2DM rehabilitated with implant-retained overdentures on the clinical, tomographic and immunoinflammatory peri-implant outcomes after implant loading.

Interventions

DEVICEDental Implant Placement and subsequent prosthetic reabilithation

Surgeries to dental implant placement were performed. All patients received 3.5 mm diameter dental implants - surface blasted with TiO2 particles and machined collar of 1mm - in the interforaminal region of the mandible. The surgical sequence followed the protocol described by the implant company.A two stages protocol was used and the prostheses were placed at 4 months.The prosthetic retention system used in rehabilitation with overdentures was the O'ring and the capture of this component was done directly in the patient's mouth. After 7 and 14 days, the patients returned to occlusal adjustments and verification of prosthetic adaptation. The prostheses were made entirely of acrylic resin without metallic reinforcement and the antagonist of the patients were total edentulous and rehabilitated with muco-supported prostheses.

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Change from baseline Peri-implant Probing Depth (PPD) at 24 months.(baseline) and at 6, 12 and 24 monthsdistance from the bottom of the peri-implant pocket (PPD) to the mucosal margin (MM) measured by a calibrated examiner in millimeter using a Periodontal probing

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Clinical attachment level (CAL)(baseline) and at 6, 12 and 24 monthscalculated by adding PPD and MM measured by a calibrated examiner in millimeter using a Periodontal probing
Modified Bleeding on Probing(baseline) and at 6, 12 and 24 monthsdichotomous index of bleeding during probing around implants measured by a calibrated examiner using a Periodontal probing. Data were presented as percentage.
Mucosal Margin (MM)(baseline) and at 6, 12 and 24 monthsdistance from the implant platform to the peri-implant margin (CL group) and distance from the machined collar maintained supracrestally to the peri-implant margin (SL group) measured by a calibrated examiner in millimeter using a Periodontal probing
Crest Height Bone Marginal Peri-implant(baseline) and at 6, 12 and 24 monthslinear measurement in millimeter obtained by a parallel line to the implant surface from the implant platform to bone crestal (mesial, distal, buccal and lingually) in the sagittal and coronal slices each 2 mm using Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) scans
Markers on peri-implant crevicular fluid(baseline) and at 6, 12 and 24 monthsThe levels of Imunoinflammatory mediators: interferon (IFN)-gama, interleukin (IL)-10, IL-17, IL-33, IL-21, IL-4, IL-23, IL-6 and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α in the peri-implant crevicular fluid were determined using human plex and the multiplexing instrument. The mean concentration of each biomarker was calculated and expressed as pg/ml.
Modified Plaque Index(baseline) and at 6, 12 and 24 monthsdichotomous modified plaque index along the mucosal margin around implants measured by a calibrated examiner using a Periodontal probing. Data were presented as percentage.
