Who may be able to join

  • Provision of informed consent

About this study

Official title: Prospective, Comparative Assessment of Alveolar Ridge Preservation Using GUIDOR® Easy-graft® Classic in Atraumatic Extraction Socket

Randomized Controlled study to compare the effectiveness of two different treatment approaches using a new moldable beta-tricalcium phosphate(TCP) bone graft material in ridge preservation of an atraumatic extraction socket site compared to allograft with collagen plug.

Being tested
easy-graft CLASSIC, FDBA with collagen plug

What participants receive

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

  • easy-graft CLASSICDevice

    easy-graft will be grafted to a single extraction socket to preserve the ridge dimension for future implant placement.

  • FDBA with collagen plugDevice

    FDBA will be grafted to a single extraction socket and covered by collagen plug to preserve the ridge dimension for future implant placement.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in Radiographic Measurements of Ridge Dimension (Horizontal Ridge Width)

    Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) is taken at the ridge preservation procedure (baseline) and 4 months after the procedure. Linear measurement of horizontal ridge width is measured at 1 mm apical to the crest. Change of horizontal ridge width = (Baseline measurement - 4 months measurement)

    Measured: Baseline and 4 months post-surgery

  2. Change in Radiographic Measurements of Ridge Dimension (Volumetric Assessment)

    Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) is taken at the ridge preservation procedure (baseline) and 4 months after the procedure. Bone volume measurement is expressed in mm3, which allowed for a calculation of the % of volumetric reduction that took place from baseline to 4 months post-surgery.

    Measured: Baseline and 4 months post-surgery

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Histomorphometric Assessment of Newly Formed Mineralized Tissue

    Bone core biopsy is harvested at the time of implant placement from the "central" part of the ridge at 5 months after ridge preservation procedure. Histomorphometric analysis is performed by one blinded examiner who measured a proportion of mineralized tissue respective to the percent of the total core area.

    Measured: 5 months post-surgery

  2. Histomorphometric Assessment of Residual Bone Graft Particles

    Bone core biopsy is harvested at the time of implant placement from the "central" part of the ridge at 5 months after ridge preservation procedure. Histomorphometric analysis is performed by one blinded examiner who measured a proportion of residual bone graft respective to the percent of the total core area.

    Measured: 5 months post-surgery

  3. Histomorphometric Assessment of Non-mineralized Tissue

    Bone core biopsy is harvested at the time of implant placement from the "central" part of the ridge at 5 months after ridge preservation procedure. Histomorphometric analysis is performed by one blinded examiner who measured a proportion of non-mineralized tissue respective to the percent of the total core area.

    Measured: 5 months post-surgery

  4. Change of Marginal Bone Level Around Dental Implant

    Linear measurement of marginal bone level (MBL) in millimeters along mesial and distal dental implant surface are captured in periapical standardized radiographs at crown delivery (baseline), 6, and 12 months after crown delivery. Change of MBL = (Baseline measurement - 6 or 12 months measurement)

    Measured: Baseline, 6, and 12 months after crown delivery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing easy-graft CLASSIC and FDBA with collagen plug in people with Dental Implants and Alveolar Ridge Preservation, run by Sunstar Americas at 2 sites 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 15 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 22 Oct 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites 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 22 Oct 2020). 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?

Change in Radiographic Measurements of Ridge Dimension (Horizontal Ridge Width) (time frame: Baseline and 4 months post-surgery). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 22 Oct 2020.
