Trial summary

Alveolar bone resorption following tooth extraction is unavoidable. Graft placement following extraction is recommended when considering restorative procedures afterwards. The extracted tooth was considered a clinical waste. However, it is now seen as a convenient and available source for graft material. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Alveolar Ridge Preservation Using Autogenous Tooth Graft Versus Autogenous Demineralized Dentin Graft. A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial.

Alveolar bone resorption following tooth extraction is unavoidable. Graft placement following extraction is recommended when considering restorative procedures afterwards. The extracted tooth was considered a clinical waste. However, it is now seen as a convenient and available source for graft material. Different protocols are applied to process the extracted tooth for obtaining the graft material and investigations are needed to assess the protocol with the best outcome.

Read the detailed description

Autogenous graft is widely accepted as the gold standard for grafting procedures(Sakkas et al. 2017). And since the introduction of autogenous dentin graft for alveolar ridge preservation by Kim et al. clinically (Y.-K. Kim et al. 2010), it has increasingly attracted attention and teeth are no longer seen only as a waste. Tooth dentin has a chemical composition similar to that of alveolar bone; the inorganic content is 70%-75%, organic content 20%, and water content 10%, whereas alveolar bone has proportions of 65%, 25%, and 10% respectively(Y.-K. Kim et al. 2013). The similarity in chemical composition between dentin and alveolar bone, as well as its content of growth factors such as bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs), made the dentin a successful graft for filing alveolar bone defects of same patient(Y.-K. Kim et al. 2010, Nampo et al. 2010, Y.-K. Kim et al. 2013) .

The technique proposed by Kim et al includes demineralization of the dentin as it reduces minerals content, exposes collagen fibrils and increases BMPs released thus promoting the process of osteogenesis(Y.-K. Kim et al. 2010). However, demineralisation step is time-consuming, taking several days, which challenges same visit application. As a result, two main approaches have been developed to overcome this obstacle. One approach is to maintain the demineralization step but with improving the technique to shorten the processing time(MURATA et al. 2010, E.-S. Kim 2015, Kabir et al. 2015). On the other hand, many investigators have used the whole tooth without demineralization and reported satisfactory clinical outcome(Gideon Hallel et al. 2014, Valdec et al. 2017). Hence, more investigations are needed to evaluate the technique with the best outcome.

What is being measured

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

  1. Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) analysis

    CBCT scans will be taken at first day and at 6 months after the grafting procedures. The scans will be compared using predetermined reference points, buccolingual and vertical dimensions will be measured in cross-sectional images using the same reference points and lines. The difference in mm will be subtracted.

    Measured: immediately and after 6 months of grafting

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Histological analysis

    Bone samples from at least one control and one intervention site will be taken during implant placement. Patients will be asked to sign and additional informed consent. A trephine bur will be used to obtain samples and then sent to the department of oral histology for assessment

    Measured: after 6 months of grafting

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Alveolar ridge preservation in people with Alveolar Ridge Preservation and Dentin Graft, run by Cairo University at 1 site in Egypt.

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 3 inclusion and 5 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 10 Nov 2020. 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 Egypt. 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?

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?

Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) analysis (time frame: immediately and after 6 months of grafting). 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 10 Nov 2020.
