Prospective Observational Invivo Study on Zirconia and Titanium Dental Implants in an Indian Context

Abstract

AIM: To know the impact on osseointegration of custom made zirconia implants in comparison to titanium invivo conditions prospective basis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Prospective observational study was approved by the ethical committee of Government dental college and research institute, Bangalore. Based on the desired sample size of a total 15 patients with bilaterally missing lower first molar were reported in the departmental interventions of prosthodontics, GDCRI, Bangalore. All subjects were considered for the study intervention. As per the SOP a commercially availed Zirconia blocks were implanted for fabricating customs, which were made by zirconia implants, tested the implants. As reliability assurance were studied as comparable with titanium implants (placebo). Further, a split mouth design was developed with zirconia as a tested a specimen on one side and titanium implants on the other side. The implant site allocations were done on the basis of randomization 2x2 procedure. Customs made zirconia implants were made by copy milling the corresponding titanium implants, size were determined by using radiographic analysis and bone mapping techniques evolved after implant both groups were evaluated with respect to bone loss, plaque index and probing depth in the different follow up period (6,12,24 months). Multivariate analysis statistical method was used to draw the inference RESULTS: As per the resulted observation, the study was not found to be statistically significant between the placebo and study groups respectively (p>0.05) CONCLUSION: The present study concludes that, the results were generated from the present intervention are promising in using Zirconia implants for dental applications in the future prospective. It would be useful for dental clinicians for early diagnosis.
