The Effect of Systemic Antibiotics on Post-surgical Complications and Patient-centered Outcomes in Patients Undergoing Implant Surgery With Guided Bone Regeneration and Simultaneous Sinus Floor Elevation

The primary aim of the trial is to evaluate the effect of systemic antibiotic administration compared to placebo in patients undergoing oral implant therapy with simultaneous lateral sinus floor elevation and guided bone regeneration (GBR) in regard to patient-centered outcomes.

The secondary aims of the trial is to evaluate the effect of systemic antibiotic administration on postsurgical complications, in patients undergoing oral implant therapy with simultaneous lateral approach sinus floor elevation and guided bone regeneration (GBR).

Treatment and study plan

Amoxicillin

Drug

Preoperatively antibiotics of 2 g amoxicillin 1 hour prior to standard implant placement and sinus floor Elevation will be administered. An additional single dose of 500 mg of amoxicillin will be administered 8 hours after surgery and 500 mg thrice daily (8 hourly) on days 1 to 3 following implant placement and sinus floor elevation.

Placebo

Other

Preoperatively a placebo of 2 g will be administered. An additional single dose of 500 mg of placebo will be administered 8 hours after surgery and 500 mg thrice daily (8 hourly) on days 1 to 3 following implant placement and sinus floor elevation.

Primary outcomes

  1. Patient-centered Outcomes - 1

    Time frame: days 1-7 and 14

    Change in visual analogue scores (VAS) on the wound (pain, swelling, bruising, haematoma, bleeding) Intensity of bleeding, swelling, pain and bruising on a score from 1(mild) to 10(severe).

  2. Patient-centered Outcomes - 2

    Time frame: days 1-7 and 14

    Change in discomfort of the sinuses (nosebleed, nasal congestion, rhinorrhea, feeling of pressure, hyposmia)
