Summary

GM Zygomatic implant is intended to be surgically placed in the posterior region of the maxilla and zygoma. It is indicated for multiple prostheses in case of severe resorption in the maxilla and total edentulism (situations in which the installation of convectional implants is contraindicated). The objective of the study is to confirm the long-term safety and clinical performance of GM Zygomatic implants and GM Zygomatic abutments in daily dental practice setting, by means of a prospective collection of clinical data concerning the success and survival rates of these devices. Devices will be used according to standard routine in daily practice, according to all indications as specified by the manufacturer in the instructions for use (IFU). Ten patients will be followed for 36 months and monitored for Adverse Events by the Investigators until the last protocol-related procedure of a patient is completed.

Detailed description

The study protocol was reviewed and approved by an Ethics Committee (CE) in Brazil. GM Zygomatic implants present an optimized design with adapted treatment protocol, allowing for treatment of patients with severely resorbed maxilla and complete edentulism in which conventional implants placement is contraindicated. The objective of the study is to confirm the long-term safety and clinical performance of implants and abutments of GM Zygomatic System in a daily dental practice setting, by means of a prospective collection of clinical data in a study using these devices. Additionally, from the collected data, the study aims to identify previously unknown side-effects and monitor the known side-effects and contraindications stated on the Instructions for Use with the intent to verify that the intended purpose is adequate for all Neodent products involved in the procedure that come into contact with the patient. The sample will be prospectively selected and will consist of 10 patients with atrophic edentulous maxillae, for whom the responsible surgeon elects the rehabilitation by means of placement of zygomatic implants as having the best risk-benefit ratio for the patient (e.g., shorter treatment time and lower biological cost than the associated with reconstructive surgeries for the insertion of conventional implants). Informed consent in writing will be obtained from each patient participating in the study prior to any study-related procedure. Neodent GM Zygomatic implants will preferably be placed under local anesthesia and sedation (according to the surgeon's assessment of the patient's general health), with adequate bone bed preparation, as recommended by the manufacturer. Size, position, and quantity of implants (2 to 4) will be select considering the anatomy, region of rehabilitation, bone quality and quantity and available space. Together with the Zygomatic Implants, 2 to 4 conventional implants of Neodent GM line shall be inserted in the anterior region, if enough bone is available. Data concerning the studied variables will be collected following the procedures and assessments plan by fulfilling the Case Report Form (CRF), in the following stages: First visit (Screening); T0 - Implants placement; TF - final prosthesis (may coincide with TL); TL - Implant loading; T6, T12, T24 and T36 - 6, 12, 24 and 36 months, respectively, after implant placement. Computed tomography (CT) scans with prototyping will be obtained from the region of interest prior to surgery, for the surgical planning and implant selection, as well as post-surgery (T0 - immediately or within 1 week after implant placement; T36) to verify zygomatic implants anchorage. Prototypes of the region of interest in the maxilla will be obtained from the initial CT scans for diagnostic purposes. Additionally, standardized digital periapical radiographs will be taken in a usual daily practice frequency, as determined by the investigator: after implants placement (T0) and during the post-operative stages (TL, TF, T6, T12, T24, and T36) to assess the osseointegration process, changes in peri-implant bone level as well as prosthetic settlement and integrity.
