A Randomized Prospective Clinical Trial Comparing Single Tooth Implant 3 Loading Protocols
NCT00607022 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
This is a research study to test the clinical procedure and not the FDA approved medical device. This project will screen up to 80 volunteers to enroll 40 active subjects to receive a single tooth implant on an anterior (incisor/canine) or pre-molar tooth in the mandible or maxilla (no implants will be placed in molar sites). This 3 year research study will examine the clinical effects of loading regimens on roughened surfaced implants. The proposed research project will measure the changes in mucosal healing and maturation over a three year period following implant placement. The proposed research lays the foundation for improved health care by providing surgeons and restorative dentists with data for determining the relationship between implant healing, loading pattern and bone type. The rationale that underlies the investigation is that identification of the influences of timing of load on implant stability in varying bone types will allow routine, predictable use of early loading, which, in turn, will translate into more rapid health care, and improved psychosocial well-being of the patient. If these hypotheses are correct, these results are expected to provide evidence based research data to support early loading and immediate loading of single implants in sites of adequate bone volume, and density. In addition, it is expected that these results will fundamentally advance the field of implant dentistry and bioengineering by providing information on the principles of the bone density-mechanical environment-implant stability interaction.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT00607022
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT00607022 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 41 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Clark Stanford, which has 1 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 1 condition, with Dental Implant appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 1 intervention — of which dental implant is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT00607022 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Iowa. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
