Brief Summary

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

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a recognized factor affecting implant complication rates, including peri-implantitis and peri-implant bone loss, and the apico-coronal position of implants seems interfere on the conditions of peri-implant tissues. However, the influence of the vertical implant position in type 2 diabetics (T2DM) is unclear. This split-mouth randomized controlled trial evaluated the impact of implants of machined-collar placed at crestal level or supracrestally in T2DM rehabilitated with implant-retained overdentures on the clinical, tomographic and immunoinflammatory peri-implant outcomes after implant loading.

Detailed Description

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

Considering the outcomes achieved with implants with machined-collar inserted supracrestally, it would be relevant to investigate whether this therapeutic strategy could be considered as a more effective approach in the rehabilitation with dental implants of individuals with type 2 DM, since these patients may be more disposed to peri-implant changes, both from the point of view of marginal bone remodeling as related to local variations in immunoinflammatory response. Thus, the propose of this split-mouth randomized controlled trial was to compare the impact of crestal level or supracrestally implant platform in T2DM rehabilitated with implant-retained overdentures on the clinical, tomographic and immunoinflammatory peri-implant outcomes after implant loading.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Dental Implant Placement and subsequent prosthetic reabilithation

Intervention Type DEVICE

Surgeries to dental implant placement were performed. All patients received 3.5 mm diameter dental implants - surface blasted with TiO2 particles and machined collar of 1mm - in the interforaminal region of the mandible. The surgical sequence followed the protocol described by the implant company.A two stages protocol was used and the prostheses were placed at 4 months.The prosthetic retention system used in rehabilitation with overdentures was the O'ring and the capture of this component was done directly in the patient's mouth. After 7 and 14 days, the patients returned to occlusal adjustments and verification of prosthetic adaptation. The prostheses were made entirely of acrylic resin without metallic reinforcement and the antagonist of the patients were total edentulous and rehabilitated with muco-supported prostheses.

Eligibility Criteria

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

Inclusion Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

* The inclusion criteria included: patients aged between 50 and 80 years old, 2) totally edentulous in the mandible with previous mandibular dentures for at least 6 months and indicated for rehabilitation with overdenture, 3) patients with diabetes had to have had T2DM, diagnosed by a physician, for at least the past 5 years. Such individuals were either under a dietary regimen and/or were using oral hypoglycaemic agents (metformin or glybenclamin).

Exclusion Criteria:

* Exclusion criteria were: 1) pregnancy, 2) lactation, 3) current smoking or ex-smokers, 4) other systemic conditions that could affect bone metabolism (e.g., immunologic disorders), 5) use of anti-inflammatory, immunosuppressive and anti-resorptive medications, 6) patients that required bone grafts before or concomitantly with implant surgery and 7) a history of previous regenerative procedures in the area designated for implant therapy. Patients with major complications of DM (i.e., cardiovascular and peripheral vascular diseases \[ulcers, gangrene, and amputation\], neuropathy, and nephropathy) were also excluded.
