Influence of Neck Design on Peri-implant Hard and Soft Tissues
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to test two different implant neck designs in 36 patients.
The main question[s] it aims to answer are:
-
do triangular neck designed implants placed immediately after dental extraction have the same influence on peri-implant hard and soft tissues than regular neck designed implants at one year?
-
do triangular neck designed implants placed immediately after dental extraction have the same influence on peri-implant hard and soft tissues than regular neck designed implants at three years?
Participants that present an unrepairable tooth on the anterior upper maxilla will be asked to take a CBCT scan in order to verify the presence of the buccal bone. Once this is verified the patients will enter in the study and the day of the surgery they will be assigned to either control or test group.
-
Control group: C1 round-neck implant
-
Test groups: V3 triangular-implant neck
Researchers will compare test and control groups to see if they have the same effects on hard and soft tissues at 4 months, 1 year and 3 years.

Detailed Description
Immediate implant placement is considered to be a technique-sensitive protocol with a variety of potential risks. The interface area between the neck of the implant and the abutment is critical; it can affect the treatment outcome, particularly mar-ginal bone loss (MBL) and soft tissue behavior. Traditionally, the implant neck is circu-lar in shape; however, a new triangular neck design has recently been introduced on the market, though advanced indications of this innovative design are still lacking.
The objective of this randomized clinical trial was to compare the clinical and radiographic outcomes obtained after immediate placement of implants and temporization of two different neck geometries: a traditional round neck (RN) and an innovative neck with a triangular shape (TN).

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Buccal bone width (BBW) [4 months]
buccal bone width was measured by CBCT (iCAT®, Imaging Science International, LLC, Hatfield, PA, USA) at four points: at the implant neck, and at 1 mm, 2 mm and 3 mm above the implant neck.
- Marginal bone loss (MBL) [4 months]
marginal bone loss was measured on mesial and distal aspects of the implant using intraoral standardized periapical radiographs with the parallel technique. Measurements were performed using K-Pacs Work-station (Image Information Systems, Ltd.). The distance from the implant shoulder to the first bone-implant contact was measured at the mesial and distal sites.
- Marginal bone loss (MBL) [1 years]
marginal bone loss was measured on mesial and distal aspects of the implant using intraoral standardized periapical radiographs with the parallel technique. Measurements were performed using K-Pacs Work-station (Image Information Systems, Ltd.). The distance from the implant shoulder to the first bone-implant contact was measured at the mesial and distal sites.
- Marginal bone loss (MBL) [3 years]
marginal bone loss was measured on mesial and distal aspects of the implant using intraoral standardized periapical radiographs with the parallel technique. Measurements were performed using K-Pacs Work-station (Image Information Systems, Ltd.). The distance from the implant shoulder to the first bone-implant contact was measured at the mesial and distal sites.
- Soft tissue thickness (STT) [4 months]
the thickness of the buccal soft tissue at 3 mm and 5 mm from the gingi-val margin was measured using an endodontic file.
- Soft tissue thickness (STT) [1 years]
the thickness of the buccal soft tissue at 3 mm and 5 mm from the gingi-val margin was measured using an endodontic file.
- Soft tissue thickness (STT) [3 years]
the thickness of the buccal soft tissue at 3 mm and 5 mm from the gingi-val margin was measured using an endodontic file.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Insertion torque (IT): [day 1]
the insertion torque of the implant was measured on the day of the sur-gery with the implant motor.
- ISQ (implant stability quotient): [day 1]
the ISQ was measured at implant placement using the Osstell device, which involves resonance frequency analysis (RFA) for measuring the fre-quency of vibration.
- Probing pocket depth (PPD): [4 months]
probing pocket depth was measured with a Marquis Color code dental probe at 6 sites covering 360ª of the tooth: three on the buccal site and three on the palatal site of each tooth.
- Probing pocket depth (PPD): [1 year]
probing pocket depth was measured with a Marquis Color code dental probe at 6 sites covering 360ª of the tooth: three on the buccal site and three on the palatal site of each tooth.
- Probing pocket depth (PPD): [3 year]
probing pocket depth was measured with a Marquis Color code dental probe at 6 sites covering 360ª of the tooth: three on the buccal site and three on the palatal site of each tooth.
- Bleeding on probing (BOP): [4 months]
bleeding on probing was registered at each PPD site, whether there was bleeding or not.
- Bleeding on probing (BOP): [1 year]
bleeding on probing was registered at each PPD site, whether there was bleeding or not.
- Bleeding on probing (BOP): [3 year]
bleeding on probing was registered at each PPD site, whether there was bleeding or not.
- Crestal width (CW) [4 months]
at 3 mm and 5 mm from the gingival margin: a gauge compass was used to measure the whole width of the crestal volume, from palatal to ves-tibular wall.
- Crestal width (CW) [1 year]
at 3 mm and 5 mm from the gingival margin: a gauge compass was used to measure the whole width of the crestal volume, from palatal to ves-tibular wall.
- Crestal width (CW) [3 year]
at 3 mm and 5 mm from the gingival margin: a gauge compass was used to measure the whole width of the crestal volume, from palatal to ves-tibular wall.
- Pink esthetic score (PES): [4 months]
this score was measured based on the Furhauser table. Maximum: 14 points / Minimum: 0 points. Higher scores mean a better outcome.
- Pink esthetic score (PES): [1 year]
this score was measured based on the Furhauser table. Maximum: 14 points / Minimum: 0 points. Higher scores mean a better outcome.
- Pink esthetic score (PES): [3 year]
this score was measured based on the Furhauser table. Maximum: 14 points / Minimum: 0 points. Higher scores mean a better outcome.
