About this study

Official title: Ridge Preservation With Provisional Ovoid Pontic: a Randomized and Controlled Clinical-tomographic Trial

A prospective randomized controlled trial of 30 patients from the Faculty of Dentistry of the UFJF was conducted. It was included patients who presented indication of extraction of premolars, canines or incisors. All the thirty patients underwent dental extraction and were randomly divided into three groups according to the study methodology. Plaster casts and Cone-Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) exams were performed for comparative analysis between sample groups and between study times ( imediate postoperative and four months later).

Read the detailed description

Thirty consecutive patients who presented at the Dentistry College of Federal University of Juiz de Fora (Brazil) were selected, requiring a single-tooth extraction of premolar, canines or incisors in maxilla. All of the patients included at this study signed a free and informed consent form, agreeing to participate voluntarily in this research. The study was approved by the Research Ethical Committee of the University of Juiz de Fora under the form 1.731.395.

The patients were randomly allocated in three groups according the following treatments:

  • Group 1: Closure of the socket by primary intention through a palatal pedicle subepithelial connective tissue flap by the technique of Khoury \& Happe (2000) (Figure 1);
  • Group 2: Filling the socket with a synthetic bone substitute of biphasic calcium phosphate (Bone Ceramic®, Straumann) and covering it with a palatal pedicle flap by the technique of Khoury \& Happe (2000) (Figure 2);
  • Group 3: Sealing of the socket with a provisional ovoid pontic of acrylic resin (Figure 3).

As response factors were performed evaluations of study casts and tomographic analysis for dimensional stability evaluation of the sockets at immediate postoperative and after four months of the surgical procedures.

What participants receive

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

  • Surgical proceduresProcedure or surgery

    All the extractions were performed under local anaesthesia, minimally traumatic as possible. After the extraction, each patient was treated according to the group of their allocations.

Study groups in NCT03166475
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Palatal pedicle flap (Group 1)ExperimentalOn patients of this group were performed the palatal pedicle subepithelial connective tissue flap after the extraction, following the technique described by Khoury \& Happe (2000), which consists of total detachment of the palatal flap followed by division of the flap to release the connective tissue, maintain a pedicle and sliding it to cover the fresh socket by primary intention. The sutures were removed seven to ten days of postoperative.
Receives: Procedure: Surgical procedures
Graft + palatal pedicle flap (Group 2)ExperimentalOn patients of this group were performed the palatal pedicle flap like the group 1, however, the sockets were previously filled with a graft of synthetic bone substitute (Bone Ceramic®, Straumann, Switzerland) and then recovered with the connective flap and sutured by primary intention. The sutures were removed seven to ten days of postoperative.
Receives: Procedure: Surgical procedures
Provisional ovoid pontic (Group 3)ExperimentalOn patients of this group, after the extraction of the tooth, were made a provisional ovoid pontic with acrylic resin or with the crown of the removed tooth itself, cut and sealed with composite resin. The pontics were placed to seal the entire gingival margin of the socket and penetrating 2 to 3 mm into it, stabilized laterally by the adjacent teeth with orthodontic and composite resin or acrylic resin. No sutures were made.
Receives: Procedure: Surgical procedures

What is being measured

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

  1. Changes of bone remodelation measured by Cone-Beam Computed Tomography exams and by plaster casts analysis, from baseline to 4 months

    Will be measured width and height buccal-lingual of the ridge for each tooth extracted by the researcher.

    Measured: Baseline (immediate postoperative) and 4 months after it.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 May 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Changes of bone remodelation measured by Cone-Beam Computed Tomography exams and by plaster casts analysis, from baseline to 4 months (time frame: Baseline (immediate postoperative) and 4 months after it.). 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 NCT03166475, which also lists 12 linked publications.

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 25 May 2017.
