About this trial

Research is to compare and evaluate the primary and secondary implant stability, healing of the soft tissue around UV activated implants and conventional implants.

Eligibility criteria

This trial accepts healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

At east above 18 years of age

Patients who needs replacement for at least 2 missing teeth in the posterior region of mandible

Adequate bone volume to accommodate planned dental implants

Patients who will comply with oral health care instructions and necessary visits

Disqualifiers

General contraindications to dental implant treatment ( uncontrolled diabetes, severe cardiovascular or infectious disease)

Intravenous and oral bisphosphonate therapy

Unwillingness to return for the follow up examinations

Smokers

Single group

Treatments tested in this trial

  • conventional implant

    Procedure/Surgery

    A full thickness mucoperiosteal flap was elevated under local anesthesia, osteotomy sites were prepared according to manufacturer's instructions and parallel pin was used to confirm position and angulation of osteotomy site. Conventional implant placement was done on one side. Resonance frequency analysis instrument was used to measure Implant Stability Quotient (ISQ) and check the primary stability of the implant. The surgical wound closure was done with mattress and single interrupted sutures, using 4-0 vicryl sutures.

  • UV implant

    Procedure/Surgery

    A full thickness mucoperiosteal flap was elevated under local anesthesia and osteotomy sites were prepared according to manufacturer's instructions. Parallel pin was used to confirm position and angulation of osteotomy site. UV implant was activated using UV Activator2 and placed in another site. Resonance frequency analysis instrument was used to measure Implant Stability Quotient (ISQ) and primary stability of the implant was measured. The surgical wound closure was done with mattress and single interrupted sutures, using 4-0 vicryl sutures.

Group B: UV dental implant groupExperimental treatment 1 intervention

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Implant stability using Resonance Frequency Analysis

to measure primary and secondary stability

Time frame
"Immediately after Post-operative", "1 month", "3 months"

Secondary outcomes

1

Marginal bone loss using RVG with grid

to measure marginal bone level

Time frame
"Immediately after Post-operative", 3 months
2

Soft tissue healing

soft tissue healing to be assessed using Landry Turnbull and Howley Healing Index. Soft tissue healing will be scored from 1 to 5, where score 1 is very poor and 5 is excellent.

Time frame
1 week, 1 month, 3 months.
