Initial Fixation of Bisphosphonate-coated Dental Implants
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
16 patients will be included. Each patient receives 2 dental implants. One of them is coated with a drug, zoledronate, to improve fixation. Fixation is measured by vibration resonance frequency analysis at insertion and 2, 4, 6 and 8 weeks after insertion.The 2 implants in each patient are compared. We expect to find an early improvement (higher resonance frequency) in the coated implant.

Phase 2 |
Detailed Description
The zoledronate is linked to the titanium implant surface via a nanolayer of crosslinked fibrinigen. Resonance frequency is measured with standard clinical equipment (Ostell apparatus).

Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
Active Comparator: Bisphosphonate implant Dental implant coated with zoledronate Note: Both arms in each patient (2 implants) |
Device: Zoledronate-coated dental implant

Placebo Comparator: control Dental implant without coating Note: Both arms in each patient (2 implants) |
Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Vibration frequency ratio [4 and 6 weeks]
Each patients has a study implant and a control implant. Their change vibation frequency from insertion till measurement time point is measured and the ratio between changes for the 2 implants forms the outcome measure. Avarage values for 4 and 6 weeks will be used.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Marginal resorption [8 weeks]
Radiographic loss of bone at the margin of the implant, measured as difference in mm from the superficial bone contour between insertion and 8 weeks.
- Vibration: area under the curve [2-8 weeks]
Each patients has a study implant and a control implant. Their change vibation frequency from insertion till measurement time point is measured and the ratio between changes for the 2 implants forms the outcome measure. Avarage values for all weeks will be used.
Eligibility Criteria
Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
Need for dental implant in upper jaw. CTscan showing at least 6 mm bucco-lingual thickness. Generally healthy
Exclusion Criteria:
Drugs or conditions that influence or are thought to influence bone healing, such as bisphosphonates, corticosteroids, other oral pathologies, severe autoimmune diseases, cancer. Osteoporosis is not cause for exclusion.
