Study Summary

The purpose of this research study is to compare the healing differences of two metals (trabecular vs. standard titanium) that are used for dental implants. In addition; investigators will be examine these differences in the gene expression profiles in subjects with three conditions associated with delayed healing: diabetes and osteoporosis. The study will last at least 11 weeks consisting of 6 appointments. All visits will be carried out at the GO Health Center within the UNC School of Dentistry. Visits will last between 30 minutes to 3 hours depending on the particular visit. The visits will consist of: Obtaining consent, doing a health history, measuring vital signs, doing dental exams of the teeth and gums, collecting samples of saliva dental radiographs (X-rays), a teeth cleaning, having 4 temporary mini test cylinders placed in areas of the lower jaw where teeth are missing and implant surgery to place up to four permanent implants.

Primary Outcome

Samples were analyzed comparing the osteogenic potential associated with titanium and porous tantalum dental implants (cylinders) at 2 and 4 weeks using transcriptome analyses. The primary outcome data are displayed showing the Average Delta ∆ (Ct) for osteogenic genes relative to the housekeeping markers. The numerical value of the CT is inversely related to the amount of amplicon in the reaction (i.e., the lower the CT, the greater the amount of amplicon).
