About this trial
The main objective of this study is to assess the impact of confounding factors such as jaw, implant position, indication, smoking status, implant dimension, and medical history on RFA trends. In addition, this study aims to explore correlations of RFA trend, with the goal of using ISQ trends as an indicator for treatment protocol decisions (e.g. time of loading). Participants have already received dental implant as per clinic's standard protocol. Information regarding Implant Stability Quotient (ISQ) measurements performed at any time point until 1-year follow-up will be collected. The principal investigator protocol regarding the use of ISQ measure to define time of implant loading will also be assessed. Only participants followed up at least until one year after implant placement will be included in the data collection.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Participant received implant treatment NobelReplace, NobelActive or NobelParallel implants on or after October 2021 (with TiUnite or TiUltra surfaces)
Participant was at least 18 years old at the time of surgery
Participant attended a follow-up visit at least 1-year after surgery
Implant stability was assessed by means of RFA at a minimum of three time-points
Disqualifiers
1-year follow-up data not available
Subject received major guided bone regeneration
Trial population
At least 100 consecutive subjects treated with the RFA-trend protocol since October 2021 are included. To ensure sufficient sampling of underrepresented indications and due to the novelty of this decision-making protocol, adaptive sample size determination will be used. Participant received implant treatment NobelReplace, NobelActive or NobelParallel implants on or after October 2021 (with TiUnite or TiUltra surfaces)

Treatments tested in this trial
Dental implant
DeviceThere is no intervention in the study. The participants have already received dental implant treatment and data will be collected retrospectively regarding the procedure
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Resonance frequency analysis (RFA) trends
Occurrence of Resonance frequency analysis trends (3 consecutive increasing or stable implant stability quotient (ISQ) values vs 3 consecutive decreasing ISQ values)
Secondary outcomes
Implant treatment success
Implant loaded functionally after 1 year of implant placement
Change in prosthetic protocol
3 months to definitive prosthesis placement in maxilla, 2 months in mandible due to ISQ trend
