Movement of Dental Implants During Osseointegration

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 is a prospective observational study conducted in three private dental clinics in Spain to quantify 3D changes in implant position from placement (T0) to before loading (T1). Two intraoral STL scans will be superimposed to measure linear and angular displacement, using calibrated metrology software. Data on insertion torque, primary and secondary stability, site and timing of placement, bone density by Lekholm & Zarb, bruxism, and night guard use will be collected to explore factors linked to positional changes. The primary outcome is the 3D displacement at approximately 3–4 months, analyzed with multivariable methods to identify associations. Adults 18+ indicated for a single implant-supported restoration who consent and complete two scans are eligible.

Why it matters

Who can join: the full rules

Inclusion Criteria:

* Adults aged 18 years or older.
* Indication for a single implant-supported restoration.
* Good general health and absence of active periodontal disease.
* Willingness to provide written informed consent and to undergo two intraoral scans (immediately after implant placement - T0 - and before prosthetic loading - T1).

Exclusion Criteria:

* Uncontrolled systemic disease or any medical condition contraindicating implant surgery.
* High-risk antiresorptive therapy (e.g., intravenous bisphosphonates or denosumab).
* Pregnancy or breastfeeding, if applicable to local policy.
* Inability to attend the T1 follow-up visit or contraindication to intraoral scanning (e.g., limited mouth opening, severe gag reflex).
