Conditions

Patients Undergoing Oral Implant Therapy

Brief summary

The primary aim of the trial is to evaluate the effect of systemic antibiotic administration compared to placebo in patients undergoing oral implant therapy with simultaneous lateral sinus floor elevation and guided bone regeneration (GBR) in regard to patient-centered outcomes. The secondary aims of the trial is to evaluate the effect of systemic antibiotic administration on postsurgical complications, in patients undergoing oral implant therapy with simultaneous lateral approach sinus floor elevation and guided bone regeneration (GBR).

Interventions

DRUGAmoxicillin

Preoperatively antibiotics of 2 g amoxicillin 1 hour prior to standard implant placement and sinus floor Elevation will be administered. An additional single dose of 500 mg of amoxicillin will be administered 8 hours after surgery and 500 mg thrice daily (8 hourly) on days 1 to 3 following implant placement and sinus floor elevation.

OTHERPlacebo

Preoperatively a placebo of 2 g will be administered. An additional single dose of 500 mg of placebo will be administered 8 hours after surgery and 500 mg thrice daily (8 hourly) on days 1 to 3 following implant placement and sinus floor elevation.
