Impact of Different Surface Treatments on Implant Stability

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study aims to evaluate the primary and secondary stability of dental implants placed in patients requiring rehabilitation in the premolar area, using various surface treatments such as vacuum-plasma activation, ozonated oil, and non-activated implants. The study will measure primary stability through insertion torque and the Implant Stability Quotient (ISQ), while secondary stability will be assessed over 90 days post-implant placement. Additionally, it will monitor implant survival after one year and any complications or adverse events, as well as the relationship between surface treatment and early marginal bone loss at multiple time points.
