Performance of MicroTextured Dental Implants

A Randomized Clinical Trial to Assess the Performance of MicroTextured Dental Implants With or Without a Machined Collar

• Status: Completed
• Phase: N/A
• Study type: Interventional
• Enrollment: 68 (actual)
• Sponsor: University of Alabama at Birmingham · Academic / Other
• Sex: All
• Age: 19 Years
• Healthy volunteers: Accepted

Summary

The study will compare initial peri-implant bone healing and longitudinal osseointegration between a fully microtextured dental implant and an analogous implant with a smooth machined collar. The investigators hypothesize the fully textured implant will result in less peri-implant crestal bone resorption than the implant with a machined collar.

Detailed description

Zimmer dental has developed a microtextured tapered screw-vent implant design with a titanium skin that has been grit-blasted with hydroxyapatite particles resulting in an overall roughened surface, which, when compared to an implant with a machined (smooth) collar (narrow band around the top of the device) surface is thought to increase the apposition of osseous tissue integration and to promote epithelial attachment to the implant device.

Conditions

• Partially Edentulous Jaw

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	Microtextured dental implant treatment	Microtextured dental implant treatment will include a surgically inserted device implanted into edentulous areas of the jaw where natural teeth have been lost and adequate bone exists.
DEVICE	Dental implant treatment	Treatment with dental implants; implants with a machined collar will be surgically implanted into edentulous areas of the jaw where natural teeth have been lost and adequate bone exists.
