Study summary

There is no consensus on antibiotic prophylaxis in dental implant applications, and its necessity is controversial. Current reports on antibiotic use are insufficient. Also, other than antibiotic prophylaxis, data that may affect the post-operative situation such as the patient's gender, age, smoking, duration of surgery, length of the operation field, flap design have not been evaluated comprehensively.

This study aims to evaluate post-operative complications, implant success, and implant stability in 50 individuals: preoperative single dose of 2 g amoxicillin + clavulanic acid (25) and placebo (25).

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Started Sep 2022 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Sep 2023, 12 months after the start.

Of 71 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Tooth Loss, half reached primary completion within 28 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 12 and three quarters within 48. This study's planned 12 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 77 studies reached it within 28 months; a quarter within 12 and three quarters within 48.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Aug 30, 2023, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
