Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The primary outcome of the present study is bone regeneration. This primary outcome will be evaluated from biopsies obtained during the second surgery intervention for implant placement. Bone biopsies will be harvested from the alveolar crest using a trephine bur The histomorphometric analysis will be performed by a single examiner blinded to the experimental groups. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary outcome 1- Evaluation of the volumetric stability of the bone graft by means of tomographic analysis. Bone graft volume will be evaluate in two tomography scans, one in the tomography scan performed after the regenerative procedure (T1) and one in the tomography scan performed after 4 or 8 months of healing (T2). Based on the difference in volume between these two scans, the percentage of bone resorption will be calculated. A specific software (Planmeca Romexis 3D module, Planmeca Oy, Helsinki, Finland) will be used to calculate the bone volume in each CT scan.;Secondary outcome 2- Evaluation of the implant primary stability by resonance frequency analysis using the Osstell. This device determine the implant stability quotient (ISQ) measured for each implant that varies from 1 to 100. The implant stability will be measured immediately after implant installation.;Secondary outcome 3- Survival of implants and occurrence of complications. Longitudinal follow-up of the implants will be done to identify early or late implant failure and occurrence of complications. After implant installatiom, the patients will be evaluated every 3 months in the first year and every six months from the second year. Patients will be followed up for 5 years. This secondary outcome will be determined based on clinical, including examination of the implant with periodontal probe, and radiographic (periapical radiography) analyses. | — |
