Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Recently, 4 mm long implants with a standard diameter have been used for the restoration of the posterior edentulous mandible with favorable results. However, randomized clinical trials reporting the results from full-arch fixed dental prosthesis that included 4 mm long implants placed in the posterior regions of the maxilla have not been published yet. The aim of the present study will be to compare the survival and success rates of 4 mm implants used as distal support of a maxillary full-arch fixed dental prosthesis with standard (10 mm) implants placed in association with a bilateral sinus floor augmentation procedure

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Two groups will be randomly prepared, the Short group and the Standard group. In the Short group, one 4 mm long and 4.1 mm in diameter implant (extra-short implant) will be installed in each side of the posterior region of the maxilla. In the Standard group, bilateral sinus floor elevations will be performed. After 4 months of healing, one 10 mm long and 4.1 mm in diameter implant (standard implant) will be installed into each augmented sinus. In the frontal region, four 10 mm long implants will be installed in both groups. Clinical assessments and x-rays will be taken at prosthesis delivering (6-8 weeks after implant installation), and after 6, 12, 18 and 24 months.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

Two groups will be randomly prepared. The Short group, one 4 mm long and 4.1 mm in diameter implant (Short implant) will be installed in each side of the posterior region of the maxilla. The standard group, bilateral sinus floor elevations will be performed. After 4 months of healing, one 10 mm long and 4.1 mm in diameter implant (Standard implant) will be installed into each augmented sinus.
Primary Study Purpose

TREATMENT

Blinding Strategy

TRIPLE

Caregivers Investigators Outcome Assessors
A statistician not involved in the study performed the randomization in blocks of four and the assignments have been sealed in coded and opaque envelopes that will be opened at the time of the enrollment of each patient in the study. The surgeon will be blinded about the assignment until the time of the surgery. The outcome assessor will be blinded about the protocol

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Short Group

In each side of the posterior region of the maxilla, one tissue level implant, 4 mm long and 4.1 mm in diameter, will be installed

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Placement of extra short implants

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

placement of an extra short implant in the posterior edentulous ridge

Standard group

sinus floor elevation with will be performed using natural bovine bone graft as filler material and porcine dermis collagen membrane to cover the antrostomy. After 4 months of healing, one bone level implant, 10 mm long and 4.1 mm in diameter, will be installed into each augmented sinus.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Edentulous maxilla
* Willing to receive a full arch fixed restoration in the maxilla.
* Latest extraction at least 8 weeks before implant insertion
* Sinus floor height included between 4 to 6 mm
* Bone width in the distal segments sufficient to allow the insertion of a 4 mm long implant of standard diameter.
* In the anterior maxilla (from first premolar to first premolar) bone width sufficient to allow the insertion of 10 mm long implants of standard diameter. Minor horizontal augmentations with guided bone regeneration procedures was allowed in the anterior maxilla.

the opposing arch have to present one of the following conditions:

* natural dentition (at least 10 elements from 3.5 to 4.5)
* Fixed dental prosthesis of at least 10 elements (from 3.5 to 4.5) supported by teeth or implants
* Implant supported or teeth supported overdentures
* Adequate partial removable prostheses.

Exclusion Criteria

* Presence of conditions requiring prophylactic use of antibiotics (e.g., history of rheumatic heart disease, bacterial endocarditis, cardiac valvular anomalies, prosthetic joint replacements).
* Major systemic diseases, or medical conditions requiring prolonged use of steroids, or alcoholism or chronically drug abuse.
* Current pregnancy or breastfeeding women
* Smokers \> 10 cigarettes per day
* Physical handicaps that would interfere with the ability to perform adequate oral hygiene
* Immunocompromised patients including patients infected with HIV
* Conditions or circumstances, in the opinion of the investigator, which would prevent completion of study participation or interfere with analysis of study results, such as history of non-compliance, or unreliability.
* Patients with an ongoing or previous treatment with bisphosphonates (for at least 2 months for oral therapy or 6 months for IV injection)


* Local inflammation, including untreated periodontitis
* Pre-cancerous oral lesions
* History of local irradiation therapy
* Severe bruxism or clenching habits
* Patients with inadequate oral hygiene or unmotivated for adequate oral home care
* Previous Guided bone regeneration or Guided tissue regeneration treatment at the implant site
* Total removable prosthesis in the lower arch
