Trial summary

Following tooth loss, a considerable reduction in hard- and soft-tissue volume can be expected (Tan WL, et al., 2012), (AraujoMG, et al., 2015). In the anterior maxilla, tissue loss can make future implant restorations more challenging and less predictable in terms of achieving and maintaining favorable… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Soft Tissue Augmentation Using The Dome Technique Around Immediate Implants In The Esthetic Zone. A Case Series

Following tooth loss, a considerable reduction in hard- and soft-tissue volume can be expected (Tan WL, et al., 2012), (AraujoMG, et al., 2015). In the anterior maxilla, tissue loss can make future implant restorations more challenging and less predictable in terms of achieving and maintaining favorable soft-tissue-emergence profiles. Even with careful implant planning and placement, marginal gingival recession of 0.5-1 mm has been a common finding with single-tooth implants (Nisapakultorn K, et al., 2010), (Suphanantachat S, et al., 2012). This is partly attributed to bone remodeling after implant surgery, and occurs regardless of implant-placement protocol used (Hof M, et al., 2015).

Read the detailed description

The dome technique addresses the placement of the CT, as it is layered over the implant and takes the shape of an inverted dome. The advantage of the dome CT technique is that it allows for both buccal and coronal augmentation of local soft tissue, while maximizing blood supply to the area by using tunneling-technique principles. It enhances and augments the peri-implant tissue foundation for a favorable facial and interproximal restorative emergence profile. As this technique does not involve raising an independent buccal flap, the gingival tissue of the adjacent teeth is not compromised, and thus the risk of recession and formation of black triangles on the adjacent teeth is minimized.

What is being measured

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

  1. Pink esthetic score (PES)

    The PES is based on seven variables mesial papilla, distal papilla, soft - tissue level, soft tissue contour, alveolar process deficiency, soft tissue color and texture . The PES is based on seven variables mesial papilla, distal papilla, soft - tissue level, soft tissue contour, alveolar process deficiency, soft tissue color and texture . it's numerical

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Gingival Thickness

    Will be measured using an anesthetic needle with a rubber stopper, trans-gingivally piercing tissues horizontally perpendicular to the long axis of the tooth implant until it contacts bone

    Measured: 6 months

  2. Post - Surgical Patient Satisfaction

    A 3 - item questionnaire is asked and the patients shall use a 7point answer scale

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing connective tissue grafting by Dome Technique in people with Recession, Gingival, run by Cairo University.

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 8 inclusion and 6 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Jan 2019. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Pink esthetic score (PES) (time frame: 6 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 NCT03802370, 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 16 Jan 2019.
