Condition(s) studied

Edentulous Alveolar Ridge

Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

implant insertion

implant insertion: Following local anesthesia (articaine 4% with epinephrine 1:100,000), a minimally invasive full-thickness flap will be elevated. Implant site preparation will be performed with twist drills and the implant will be inserted. Implant stability (ISQ) will be measured in the mesio-distal, disto-mesial, bucco-lingual, and linguo-buccal directions using a resonance frequency analysis device (Osstell Beacon, Osstell, Göteborg, Sweden) with a single-use magnetic peg specific to the implant (SmartPeg Type 07, Osstell, Göteborg, Sweden). The flap will be closed using non-resorbable monofilament sutures, and the implant will be submerged (two-stage protocol).

Study summary

The aim of this prospective, multicenter observational study is to evaluate the influence of various surgical parameters (maximum insertion torque; average insertion torque; final insertion torque; area under the torque curve; intercept and slope of the least squares regression line of the torque curve; implant stability quotient measured immediately after implant insertion) on implant osseointegration and on peri-implant marginal bone loss occurring during the first three months of submerged healing.

Exclusion Criteria: * Acute myocardial infarction within the past two months; * Uncontrolled bleeding disorders; * Uncontrolled diabetes (HBA1c \> 7.5); * History of head and/or neck radiotherapy within the past 24 months; * Immunocompromised patients, HIV positive, or undergoing chemotherapy within the past five years; * Current or previous antiresorptive therapy; * Psychological or psychiatric disorders; * Drug or alcohol abuse.

Primary outcome measure(s)

  • Implant Stability Quotient (ISQ) for the evaluation of primary stability, measured using a resonance frequency analysis (RFA) device (Osstell). — Immediately after implant placement
    Resonance Frequency Analysis (RFA) device (Osstell, Göteborg, Sweden) with the appropriate transducer for the selected abutment (Smartpeg Type 05, Osstell, Göteborg, Sweden). ISQ will be measure in the mesio-distal, disto-mesial, bucco-lingual, and linguo-buccal directions.
  • Implant primary stability in Newton — During the full course of implant insertion
    Insertion torque
  • Periapical radiograph for the assessment of peri-implant bone level (PBL) in millimeters — Immediately after implant placement
    Periapical radiograph using a customized Rinn-type film holder for each patient with the aid of a silicone index
