  Purpose

The aim of the investigators study is to compare, in a prospective controlled clinical trial, the Locator® System with two other types of stress-breaking retention (Retentive Anchors and Magnets) for implant supported overdenture in atrophic edentulous mandible, with the use of Straumann Dental Implant System.


Condition Intervention
MANDIBLE
Atrophyc Edentulous Jaw
 Procedure: Insertion of dental implants

Study Type: Interventional
Study Design: Allocation: Randomized
Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment
Masking: Open Label
Primary Purpose: Treatment
Official Title: A 5-year Prospective Randomised Clinical Study on the Efficiency of Three Different Attachment Systems as Retention for Implant-supported Mandibular Overdenture.

Further study details as provided by Concordia Dent Srl:

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • The following parameters will be assessed for implant survival: - Gingiva-score, Plaque-score, Calculus, Bleeding-score, Probing pocket depth and Implant stability will be measured using Osstell (RFA). [ Time Frame: 5 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Radiographic outcome: Standardised intra-oral radiographs will be made using the long cone technique. Prosthetic maintenance and complications and soft-tissue complications of the denture bearing area will be recorded. [ Time Frame: 5 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Patient satisfaction will be assessed with the aid of questionnaires: initial (with the original denture), after 6 months, 1-year and 5 years. Final costs for each type of retention will be calculated according to all the procedures and complications. [ Time Frame: 5 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Enrollment: 69
Study Start Date: August 2004
Estimated Study Completion Date: December 2012
Primary Completion Date: September 2009 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Arms Assigned Interventions
Active Comparator: Retentive Anchors
23 patients will receive as retention system for overdentures Retentive Anchors (Straumann).
 Procedure: Insertion of dental implants
Each patient will receive 2 screw-type Straumann (Institut Straumann AG, Basel, Switzerland) standard implants Ø4.1 mm, with SLA surface in the canine region of the mandible with an interconnecting line approaching parallelism with the terminal mandibular hinge axis, according to a standard surgical protocol.
Other Name: Mandibular overdenture metal reinforced will be made.
Active Comparator: Magnets
23 patients will receive Magnets (Straumann) as retention system for overdenture.
 Procedure: Insertion of dental implants
Each patient will receive 2 screw-type Straumann (Institut Straumann AG, Basel, Switzerland) standard implants Ø4.1 mm, with SLA surface in the canine region of the mandible with an interconnecting line approaching parallelism with the terminal mandibular hinge axis, according to a standard surgical protocol.
Other Name: Mandibular overdenture metal reinforced will be made.
Active Comparator: Locator System
23 patients will receive Locator System (Straumann) as retention for the mandibular overdenture.
 Procedure: Insertion of dental implants
Each patient will receive 2 screw-type Straumann (Institut Straumann AG, Basel, Switzerland) standard implants Ø4.1 mm, with SLA surface in the canine region of the mandible with an interconnecting line approaching parallelism with the terminal mandibular hinge axis, according to a standard surgical protocol.
Other Name: Mandibular overdenture metal reinforced will be made.
