Peri-implant Tissues on Aesthetic Slim Abutment Galimplant (PSG)
Spain80 participantsStarted 2019-03-01
Plain-language summary
This is a randomized, single-blind, split-mouth clinical trial to evaluate the performance of peri-implant tissues (bone and soft tissues) in conventionally loaded Galimplant implants, using a classic multi-position, anti-rotational abutment, comparing it to the new multi-abutment aesthetic slim anti-rotational placed both at the time of the implant surgery. To this end, 80 Galimplant implants with a diameter of 4 mm and 10 mm in length will be placed in areas of mature scarred post-extraction bone. Patients be divided into 2 study groups, group C: straight pillar; Group T: Slim pillar. The bone and clinical radiological stability of the peri-implant tissues will be evaluated at 6 weeks post-surgery and at 6-12-24 months post-prosthetic loading.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion Criteria:
* Patients without systemic pathology that are grounds for absolute contraindication
* Older adults who agree to be part of the study and sign the informed consent
* Consumption of tobacco less than 5 cigarettes / day
* Do not be completely toothless
* Absences of at least two pieces in posterior area with or without free ends to distal, maxillary or mandibular that do not require regenerative techniques. In case of odd absences (3,5,7), a Slim pillar will be placed, being the group to always be the majority.
* Area of mature bone healed at least 6 months post-extraction.
* Patients with a sufficient amount of bone to place implants 4 mm in diameter and 10 mm long
Exclusion Criteria:
* Immunosuppressed
* Aesthetic edentulous areas of 13-23 and 33-43
* Smokers of more than 5 cigarettes
* Index of bleeding greater than 30%
* Patients with less than 2 mm of keratinized gingiva
* Implants with primary stability with ISQ \<55
* Implants with ISQ index \<55 at 8 weeks
* When a margin of safety can not be assumed to the inferior dental nerve of at least 1 mm
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
