About this study

Official title: A Prospective, Randomized, Controlled, Multi-center Study With Direct Measure and Histological Evaluation Comparing Xenograft and Allograft for Posterior Buccal Dehiscence Extraction Site Ridge Preservation

To compare the effectiveness of demineralized freeze-dried bone allograft + cross-linked collagen membrane with xenograft + non-cross-linked collagen membrane for posterior extraction socket ridge preservation.

Read the detailed description

Buccal bony wall loss is a common sequela following tooth extraction, and guided bone regeneration (GBR) is a common treatment for the regeneration of ridge form and volume preservation allowing dental implant placement. Many bone augmentation biomaterials are employed to accomplish GBR, and both the medical/ dental community and, subsequently, patients benefit from understanding whether a given GBR biomaterial might be more efficacious. To this end, a randomized, case series comparison of allograft + x-linked collagen membrane versus xenograft + non-x-linked collagen membrane would be beneficial to both the dental community and patients.

The study compares the effectiveness of demineralized freeze-dried bone allograft + x-linked collagen membrane with xenograft + non-x-linked collagen membrane for posterior region extraction socket ridge preservation.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • allograft + x-link collagen membraneDevice

    Following resolution of any periodontal issues in the region of study and administration of pre-surgical antibiotic, minimally traumatic extraction with periotomes and flap reflection will be performed. Allograft will be placed according to randomization schedule and in quantity to fill the extraction socket and mimic surrounding ridge dimension. X-link collagen membrane will be trimmed to extend at least 2 mm beyond the margins of the defect, and soft tissue flaps will be re-approximated using resorbable Vicryl® 6-0.

  • xenograft + non-x-link collagenDevice

    Following resolution of any periodontal issues in the region of study and administration of pre-surgical antibiotic, minimally traumatic extraction with periotomes and flap reflection will be performed. Xenograft will be placed according to randomization schedule and in quantity to fill the extraction socket and mimic surrounding ridge dimension.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Bone Ridge Buccal-Lingual and Apico-Coronal Measures at 6 Months

    The primary efficacy parameter will be ridge volume preservation as measured apico-coronal and buccal-lingual using a preformed and marked stent.

    Measured: Six Months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. New Bone Plus Graft Content at 6-months

    New bone and graft content are measured as histomorphometric % vital bone and % mineral (graft remnants) from mid-section bone core biopsies. Histomorphometric analyses are performed with imaging software on composite overview scans. The area of new healing (versus old/ original bony tissues) is demarcated in each section. Within this area, the percentage contributions of each tissue type within the overall area of newly healed tissue is computed, i.e., new bone plus graft content added with connective tissue/ marrow elements totals 100% of the "new healing" area.

    Measured: Six Months

  2. Wound Closure at 4-weeks

    Suture line gap will be measured (buccal-lingual) with a UNC-15 Probe, rounding down to the nearest 0.5 mm.

    Measured: 4-weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing allograft + x-link collagen membrane and xenograft + non-x-link collagen in people with Tooth Loss, run by McGuire Institute at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 7 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Feb 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 18 Feb 2016). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Bone Ridge Buccal-Lingual and Apico-Coronal Measures at 6 Months (time frame: Six Months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02330523, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 18 Feb 2016.
