Trial summary

Various graft materials are used to reconstruct bone defects in the jaws due to tooth loss, trauma, advanced periodontal diseases, pathological lesions and congenital disorders.

About this study

Official title: Healing of Extraction Sockets Preserved With Autogenous Dentin Graft: A Clinical, Histological, Histomorphometrical and Electron Microscobic Study

Various graft materials are used to reconstruct bone defects in the jaws due to tooth loss, trauma, advanced periodontal diseases, pathological lesions and congenital disorders. The main features of an ideal bone graft are osteogenesis, osteoinduction and osteoconduction. Autogenous bone graft is considered as the gold standard among all bone graft materials. Because it has all the features that an ideal bone graft should have. However, there are some disadvantages such as donor site morbidity, obtaining limited amounts and high rates of resorption. Because of these disadvantages, other bone graft materials such as allografts, xenografts and alloplastic bone grafts are frequently used for bone augmentation. In the light of recent studies, the limits of conventional bone graft materials such as limited osteoconduction capacity and disease transmission have been clearly demonstrated. Due to the disadvantages of these materials, studies are directed to develop alternative graft materials. Aim of this study is to analyse the effects of autogenous dentin graft and mixture of autogenous dentin graft and platelet rich fibrin (PRF) applied to the tooth extraction sockets on bone healing process. A total of 57 extraction sockets in 9 patients who were planned to be treated with dental implant after tooth extraction were evaluated in this study. Extraction sockets were divided randomly into 3 groups. In the first group, sockets were filled with autogenous dentin graft (Group D-20 sockets). In the second group, sockets were filled with the mixture of PRF and autogenous dentin graft (Group DP-21 sockets). In the third group, sockets were left empty as control group (Group C-16 sockets). After 3 months, histological and immunohistochemical evaluations were performed on the samples taken during the implant surgery. Additionally, samples obtained from each group were examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM).

What is being measured

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

  1. Histopathological Evaluation

    Samples obtained from the groups were fixed in 10% formalin solution and decalcified in 5% formic acid solution. The samples were gradually dehydrated in an ethanol series, placed in xylene for clearing, and then embedded in paraffin. The tissue blocks were sectioned at 5µm on a rotary microtome (Leica RM 2125RT, Nussloch, Germany). Sections were stored overnight at 60°C for deparaffinization. Then the deparaffinization process was completed with xylene series. Following this procedure, the sections were passed from the alcohol series and dehydrated. Following deparaffinization, all sections were stained using Hematoxylin-Eosin staining method. Five sections were taken from each sample and used for histopathological evaluation. Images were taken from all sections in X4, X10 and X20 magnification using light microscope (Olympus BX43, Center Valley, PA) with camera attachment. New bone, connective tissue, graft and blood vessel volumes were evaluated by histopathological scoring method.

    Measured: 3 months after the augmentation procedure

  2. Immunohistochemical Evaluation

    Sections (5 µm) were taken from each sample and deparafinization was completed. Mouse and Rabbit Specific HRP / AEC (ABC) Detection IHC Kit (Abcam, USA) was used to perform the reactions. After this process, the sections were exposed until color change in order to show the immune reaction in the tissue and counterstained briefly with Mayer's hematoxylin. Anti-BMP-2 and anti-RUNX-2 antibodies (Abcam, USA) were used. Finally, the sections were washed with distilled water and then covered with immune closure medium. Images were taken in X4, X10, X20 magnification using light microscope (Olympus BX43, Center Valley, PA) with camera attachment (Carl Zeiss, Germany).

    Measured: 3 months after the augmentation procedure

  3. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) Evaluation

    After the drying process, 4 samples from each group were coated with a 10 nm thick gold-palladium layer using the coating device (Balzers-SCd 050, Germany). The samples were analyzed at 10 kV with the SEM device (JSM-7001 F, JEOL, Tokyo, Japan) for the purpose of examining the surface formation. For each group, the image was taken at X2000, X5000 and X10.000 magnification.

    Measured: 3 months after the augmentation procedure

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing autogenous dentin graft and platelet rich fibrin (PRF) in people with Bone Regeneration and Bone And Bones, run by Bahçeşehir 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 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 18 Oct 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

Histopathological Evaluation (time frame: 3 months after the augmentation procedure). The study lists 3 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 18 Oct 2019.
