Photofunctionalization With UVC
Spain60 participantsStarted 2024-12-12
Plain-language summary
Summary:
Objective: The general objective is to compare the placement of standard implants with a surface photofunctionalization technique based on ultraviolet C radiation (UVC), having as working hypothesis that this photofunctionalization will accelerate the bone apposition on the implant surface and increase the amount of bone that binds to the implant, making it possible to load these photofunctionalized implants in less time.
Design: Pilot, clinical, randomized, prospective, controlled, single-center, prospective study.
Scope of the study: Master's Degree in Oral Surgery and Implantology. Faculty of Dentistry. Complutense University of Madrid.
Subjects of the study: patients attending the Master's Degree in Oral Surgery and Implantology for rehabilitation with dental implants, regardless of the sector in which they have missing teeth.
Key words: ISQ (implant stability quotient), inmediate loading, UVC, dental implants.

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?

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?
