CLINICAL TRIALS IN DENTISTRY, A NEW EVIDENCE-BASED JOURNAL FOR THE DENTAL PROFESSION

I am proud to present a new scientific clinical journal "Clinical Trials in Dentistry". The focus of this new journal is to provide reliable scientific evidence to clinicians and patients on the most effective interventions in dentistry. Why a new journal? This is the most common question I am asked. A new journal is needed because there are no other journals in dentistry specifically publishing reliable clinical trials in a broad range of dental specialties, keeping in mind that the relevance of clinical research will increase in the near future also for the industry due to new European regulations soon to be implemented. Relevant and transparent randomised controlled trials, cohort studies, case-control studies and systematic reviews focussing on patient treatments in dentistry are warmly welcomed. The journal will be published by the Italian publisher EDRA. EDRA is an emerging publishing house in the scientific world that strongly believes in this project, sharing our vision and ambitions and is courageously supporting us in this new adventure. Our aim is not to publish a mass of articles but filter relevant and honest papers that will help all of us in taking evidence-informed clinical decisions for better patient care. It will take some time to be listed in Scopus, Science Citation Index, Medline and to obtain an impact factor, but as we did it before, we shall do it again. I will be assisted by two valid and prepared Associate Editors: Michele Nieri and Jacopo Buti. Both have an extensive experience in international research, additional degrees in statistics and are from the town where Renaissance was born, Florence. We shall try our best to select impartially and promote the best manuscripts according to scientific standards. We are optimistic and strongly motivated so time will tell about this new adventure, hoping that the loyal, the brave and the bold readers will follow us.

Happy reading Marco, Michele and Jacopo

PURPOSE. To compare the clinical outcome of single implants placed immediately after tooth extraction with those placed 6 weeks after tooth extraction (early placement), and those placed 4 months after extraction and socket healing (delayed placement).

MATERIALS AND METHODS. Two hundred and ten patients requiring one single implant-supported crown to replace a tooth to be extracted were randomised into 3 groups of 70 patients each to receive immediate, early (at 6 weeks), or delayed (after 4 months of healing) post-extraction implants, according to a parallel-group design. When needed, patients from the immediate and early groups had bone substitute grafts in the extraction socket, covered with a resorbable membrane, at implant placement. Sockets randomised to delayed implants were grafted in the same manner if poorly preserved, or in the "aesthetic" areas (from second upper premolar to second upper premolar). Implants inserted with at least 25 Ncm torque were left to heal unloaded for 4 months, whereas those inserted with less than 25 Ncm were left to heal unloaded for 6 months. Temporary crowns were delivered, and were to be replaced by definitive ones after 4 months. Outcome measures were crown and implant failures; complications; peri-implant marginal bone level changes; aesthetics, as assessed using the pink aesthetic score (PES); and patient satisfaction, recorded by blinded assessors. Patients were followed-up for 3 years post-loading.

RESULTS. Three years after loading, drop-outs were: five (7.1%) patients from the immediate, nine (12.9%) from the early, and eight (11.4%) from the delayed group. Five implants (9.2%) failed in the immediate, four (6.6%) in the early, and one (1.6%) in the delayed group (P [Freeman-Halton] = 0.282). Apart from the crowns that failed due to implant losses, no other definitive crown had to be remade. Complications affected eleven patients from the immediate group, 12 from the early, and eight from the delayed group (P [chi-square test] = 0.596). Mean peri-implant marginal bone loss after 3 years was -0.33 ? 0.22 mm at immediate, -0.43 ? 0.26 mm at early, and -0.49 ? 0.30 at delayed implants; (P [Kruskal Wallis test] ................
