Trial Review

Please note the ANZCTR will be unattended from Friday 20 December 2024 for the holidays. The Registry will re-open on Tuesday 7 January 2025. Submissions and updates will not be processed during that time.

To achieve prospective registration, we recommend submitting your trial for registration at the same time as ethics submission.

The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been endorsed by the ANZCTR. Before participating in a study, talk to your health care provider and refer to this information for consumers

Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Placement of subantral implants using different techniques:
- Under preparation: under-drilling or preparation with drills with a diameter smaller than the diameter of the implant.
- Use of motorized bone expanders: the expanders are inserted into the bone with motor-driven rotation, which decreases surgical trauma and provides more control over the expansion site. The thread pattern compacts the bone laterally as the instrument is advanced toward the bone crest.
- Under preparation: once only 1-2 hours session.
- Use of motorized bone expanders: once only 1-2 hours session.
At 12 weeks in the second surgical phase, the ISQ will be measured in all patients.
This intervention will be carried out by professors of Oral Surgery in the operating room of official master of oral surgery and implantology at the University of Granada.
Intervention code [1] 323172 0
Treatment: Surgery
Comparator / control treatment
Control group: conventional drilling.
Drilled with all implant drills following the protocol indicated by the implant brand.
Once only 1-2 hours session.
At 12 weeks in the second surgical phase, the ISQ will be measured in all patients.
Control group
Active

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 330819 0
Implant stability quotient (ISQ): to measure primary stability.
Timepoint [1] 330819 0
- On the day of surgery: ISQ is measured when implants are placed.
- 12 weeks after surgery: ISQ is measured again.
The Osstell ISQ module from W&H, which is available as an accessory, enables a safe assessment of implant stability. The Implant Stability Quotient (ISQ) has been tested in numerous clinical studies.
Primary outcome [2] 330820 0
Insertion torque: it is measured with the motor that places the implant.

The Insertion torque promotes a rotation in the implant on which the force is applied, being expressed in Ncm units.
Timepoint [2] 330820 0
The insertion torque is measured on the day of surgical intervention when implants are placed.
Secondary outcome [1] 407696 0
Early failure of the implant

It is measured when the implant presents clinical and radiological symptoms
Timepoint [1] 407696 0
Insertion torque can only be measured at the time the implants have been placed.
Our secondary outcome variable insertion torque does influence early implant failure. Thus, a very low insertion torque can be associated with early implant failure.

Efficacy
Statistical methods / analysis
For the calculation of the sample size, a confidence level of 95% and a power of 90% were considered, so a total of 105 implants will have to be collected, which will be divided randomly by means of a table of random numbers generated by computer. in 3 treatment groups of 35 implants each:

Group I: 35 implants inserted through the underpreparation technique.
Group II: 35 implants placed using motorized expanders.
Group III: 35 implants inserted through conventional drilling.
