About this study

Official title: Accuracy of Cone Beam Computed Tomography in Measuring of Mandibular Pig Soft Tissue Thickness Using a Radiopaque Material in Comparesion With Real Measurement.Diagnostic Study

accuracy of CBCT in measuring soft tissue thickness by using a radiopaque material as the real finding and measurements on pig jaws

Read the detailed description
  • Pig jaws will be included in this study.
  • Soft tissue surfaces were lightly covered with barium sulfate powder using a powder spray. CBCT was taken.
  • A periodontal probe and a rubber stop were used for the measurement of trans-gingival probing thickness (TPT).
  • After that, flap were elevated, and actual thickness of soft-tissue (actual thickness, AT) was measured.

The Analytical phase:

  • In order to assess soft tissue thickness and bone levels an electronic digital caliper (Shenhan Measuring Tools Co., LTD, Shanghai) will used for measuring the transgingival probing thickness on the pig jaws.
  • A graduated Naber's probe will be used for measuring the transgingival probing thickness.

Soft tissue thickness measurements:

  • Intra-observer variability was tested under the supervision of the director.
  • For the measurement of radiographic thickness (RT), wet soft tissue surfaces were covered with barium sulfate powder (SoloTop; Taejoon, Seoul, Korea), a radiopaque material used as a contrast medium.
  • A probes and rubber stop were used for the measurement of transgingival probing thickness (TPT).
  • A rubber stop was placed in contact with the surface to facilitate the measurement of tissue thickness, and then TPT was measured with digital calipers. All measurements were rounded to the nearest 0.01 mm.
  • For the measurement of actual thickness (AT), an incision was made onto each marked area. After flap elevation, actual soft tissue thickness was measured using the same method that was used for TPT.

Radiographic examination

  • The pig jaws will then be imaged with CBCT.
  • CBCT scanning will be performed using a PROMAX R 3DMid CBCT device (Planmeca Oy, Helsinki, Finland) with scanning protocol 90 kVp, 8 mA and 13.58 seconds exposure time with a single 360 degree rotation ROMEXIS software. The jawes will be placed on the horizontal plate of the device. The midline and mandibular position will be adjusted using the laser guide

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

  1. cbct

    measuring soft tissue thickness using cbct in pig jaw

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Acutal thickness measurement

    periodontal probe was inserted vertically into the soft tissue surface until resistance of the bone was felt

    . A rubber stop was placed in contact with the surface to facilitate the measurement of tissue thickness.actual thickness was measured with digital calipers

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cone Beam Computed Tomography, 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 2 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 20 Aug 2021. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact mahinaz R abdelhamed, master (01005610622 ext. 02, dentist_m2012@hotmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

cbct (time frame: 6 months). 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 20 Aug 2021.
