About this study

Official title: Clinical, Radiographic, and Histomorphometric Outcomes Following Ridge Preservation Using Leukocyte Platelet Rich Fibrin (L-PRF) and Freeze-Dried Bone Allograft (FDBA) Layered Technique: A Prospective, Randomized Clinical Trial

This study will evaluate the effect of Leukocyte Platelet Rich Fibrin and freeze-dried bone allograft in a layered technique on the bone quantity and quality following socket grafting in preparation for endosseous implant placement.

Pre (baseline)- and post-grafting (3 months) clinical as well as 2- and 3-dimensional radiographic measurements will be used to evaluate the dimensional ridge changes between sites grafted with L-PRF/FDBA layered technique vs. L-PRF/FDBA and L-PRF alone.

Histological analysis will be performed by a bone biopsy taken at time of surgical re-entry (after 3 months) of grafted sites to place the dental implant and assessed for differences in new bone formation between the three types of graft.

Read the detailed description

This study is a prospective, three-arm randomized trial that will evaluate and compare the bone healing following ridge preservation of extraction sockets using either L-PRF/FDBA layered technique or L-PRF/FDBA or L-PRF alone in a total of 30 patients (10 in each arm).

Qualifying participants and defects will be randomized following a computerized permutation block to receive either technique on day of surgery. Tooth extraction will be performed with a flapless minimally invasive technique, followed by socket grafting with a randomized graft.

The mineralized cortico-cancellous bone allograft that will be used in this study will be obtained from the same donor, lot and tissue bank to account for variation in age, race, gender and related healing potential of different graft sources.

Bone core biopsies will be harvested at time of implant placement 3 months following socket grafting. Bone cores will then undergo histological and histomorphometrical analyses to determine qualitative and quantitative healing differences between three treatment groups.

Clinical measurements are gathered at 2 time points (grating and implant placement) at all defects and will be compared for differences.

Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) initial scans are conducted immediately following socket grafting and second scans obtained prior to implant placement. Virtual implant planning software will be utilized to assess and compare the 2- and 3-dimensional changes for all defects.

What is being measured

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

  1. Measurements of Clinical Dimensional Changes at Alveolar Ridge 3 Months After Ridge Preservation Procedure Using L-PRF Alone, L-PRF/FDBA, and L-PRF/FDBA Layered Technique

    Compare quantitative clinical alveolar ridge dimensions (in mm) 3 months after ridge preservation between the three groups. Clinically we will measure the bone width of the ridge at time of extraction and after three months during the implant placement procedure. The dimensional changes will be calculated by subtracting the follow measurement from the initial measurement.

    Measured: From baseline to 3 months

  2. Measurements of the Radiographic Dimensional Changes at Alveolar Ridge 3 Months After Ridge Preservation Procedure Using L-PRF Alone, L-PRF/FDBA, and L-PRF/FDBA Layered Technique

    Compare quantitative radiographic alveolar ridge dimensions (in mm) 3 months after ridge preservation between the three groups using a CBCT scan. The bone width at the extraction site will be measured on the CBCT taken directly after the extraction. The same measurement will be taken at the 3 month follow up CBCT. The dimensional changes will be calculated by subtracting the follow measurement from the initial measurement.

    Measured: From baseline to 3 months

  3. Assessments of the Histology of the Bone Harvested at the 3 Month Visit.

    Measure quantitative histologic characteristics of new bone between the three groups after 3 months of ridge preservation by quantifying the distribution (in %) of new vital bone at the healed socket site. The quality of the bone created will analyzed using a descriptive analysis.

    Measured: 3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Ridge preservation using L-PRF/FDBA layered technique, Ridge preservation using L-PRF/FDBA and Ridge preservation using L-PRF in people with Ridge Preservation, run by University of Alabama at Birmingham at 1 site in United States.

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 5 inclusion and 3 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 26 Sep 2024. 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 United States. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 26 Sep 2024). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Measurements of Clinical Dimensional Changes at Alveolar Ridge 3 Months After Ridge Preservation Procedure Using L-PRF Alone, L-PRF/FDBA, and L-PRF/FDBA Layered Technique (time frame: From baseline to 3 months). 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?
