Short Dental Implants (5 mm) Versus Long Dental Implants (10 mm)
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the survival rate of 5 mm short implants compared to longer implants (10 mm) placed in sinus-grafted sites.
Primary aim: Compare bone loss between the two groups Secondary aim: Compare surgical time and patient-reported outcomes (satisfaction and post-operative pain)

Detailed Description
34 patients requiring an implant to replace an upper missing tooth in the premolar or 1st molar area with a bone crest height from 5 to 8 mm will be recruited for this trial. Patients will be randomized to either the test (5-mm implant) or control group (10-mm implant) using a computer-generated randomization list . 17 patients will receive a sinus lift procedure, bone graft, and 10 mm implant while the other 17 patients will receive a 5 mm short implant.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Change in mesial-distal (M-D) bone loss [Baseline, surgical visit 1 day, 4 months, 5 months, 12 months, 24 months]
Comparing mesial-distal (M-D) bone loss between the two groups. This will be measured in millimeters using standardized radiographs of the implant site at the screening visit, surgical visit, 4 months post-op, 5 months post-op, 12 months post-op, and 24 months post-op visits.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Survival rate [5 month post-op, 12 month post-op, and 24 month post-op visits]
The survival rate of the two groups will be recorded as a percentage at the 5 month post-op, 12 month post-op, and 24 month post-op visits based on clinician assessment.
- Number of sites with bleeding on probing [5 month post-op, 12 month post-op, and 24 month post-op visits]
The number of sites with bleeding on probing will be compared between the two groups. Bleeding on probing of the implant site will be measured with a periodontal probe at the 5 month post-op, 12 month post-op, and 24 month post-op visits.
- Probing pocket depth [5 month post-op, 12 month post-op, and 24 month post-op visits]
The probing pocket depths will be compared between the two groups. Probing depths of the implant site will be measured with a periodontal probe at the 5 month post-op, 12 month post-op, and 24 month post-op visits.
