Brief summary

To overcome the limitations of the current dynamic and static Computer Assisted surgery protocols in fully edentulous patients, and combine the advantages of both approaches, a new technique has been developed, referred to as the double factor technique. This study consists in a single arm observational prospective clinical study and the aim was to assess the accuracy and patient's perception and quality of life of the double factor technique in treating fully edentulous patients.

Detailed description

This is a prospective observational clinical study. Each patient enrolled in this study will be treated using the all on four concept using the double factor technique. Preoperative virtual planification of dental implants on a pre-acquired cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) will be performed for each patient using the same system. During the surgical phase, four dental implant will be placed in a fully guided approach using the double factor technique. This technique merges the static and dynamic computer-guided surgical approach in the same surgery. Then after the surgical procedure a PROMs questionnaire will be asked to the patients. Finally, a postoperative CBCT will be performed and overlapped with the preoperative CBCT (with the implants planification) and implant position deviations between the planned and final position will be measured. The study devices are CE- (Conformité Européenne, meaning European Conformity) marked products and used within their intended use.

Interventions

PROCEDUREDouble Factor technique

The double factor computer assisted surgery technique, involves the combination of the static and dynamic computer assisted surgery protocols to place dental implants in the same surgery.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Apex depth deviationThe day of the surgeryDepth deviation of the apex of the dental implant between the virtual planned position and the final position of the dental implant in the Z-axis. Measured in millimeters (mm).
Platform 3D deviationThe day of the surgeryglobal deviation at the platform of the dental implant between the virtual planned position and the final position of the dental implant measured in the 3 axes of the space (3D deviation). Measured in millimeters (mm).
APex 3D deviationThe day of the surgeryglobal deviation at the apex of the dental implant between the virtual planned position and the final position of the dental implant measured in the 3 axes of the space (3D deviation). Measured in millimeters (mm).
Platform 2D deviationThe day of the surgeryLateral deviation at the platform of the dental implant between the virtual planned position and the final position of the dental implant measured in 2 axes of the space (x and y, 2D deviation). Measured in millimeters (mm).
Angular deviationThe day of the surgeryAngular deviation between the virtual planed position of the implant and the final implant position. Measured in degrees

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Postoperative painSeven postoperative days.A registration of the postoperative pain using a Visual Analog Scale (VAS) from 0mm to 100mm, meaning 0mm no pain and 100mm the maximum pain.
Analgesic medication consumption recordSeven postoperative days.The patient will be asked to record all the analgesic medication intake during the first 7 postoperative days.
Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs).Seven postoperative days.Patients perception of their functional well-being and health status during the dental implant treatment with a the double factor technique. We will use OHIP-14 (Oral Health Impact Profile) questionnaire.
