About this study

Official title: Clinical And Radiographic Evaluation Of The Use Of Pontic Shield Technique For Alveolar Ridge Preservation In The Esthetic Region . A Case Series

To assess bucco-lingual dimension of the ridge while using pontic shield technique as a treatment modality for ridge preservation

Read the detailed description
  • Patients with non-restorable teeth in the esthetic area will be recruited from Faculty of Dentistry in Cairo University A pre-operative cone beam computed tomography ( CBCT ) will be taken to examine the non-restorable tooth , measure bucco-lingual width and exclude any fenestration or dehiscence in the labial bone plate

A non-surgical phase one therapy will be done for the patient as a preparatory phase

Proper oral hygiene measures and chlorohexidene mouthwash will be prescribed after the the first

Reassessment of the case to assure absence of any signs of inflammation and prescence of normal tissues before the surgical procedure

  • The area will be anaesthetized using infiltration technique in labial site with 1.5ml of anaesthetic solution and palatal site with 0.3 ml of anaesthetic solution
  • Decoronation of the tooth , if the crown is available, will be done to obtain a concave mesio-distal root
  • A long shank root resection bur will be used to section the root mesiodistally as far apical as possible , in order to obtain the buccal half attached to the labial bone plate and together the apical and the palatal half will be attached to the palatal bone
  • Periotome will be used to distort the periodontal ligaments between the palatal half of the root and palatal alveolar socket wall
  • Together the apical and the palatal portions of the root will be delivered , using micro forceps
  • Bone curettage will be done in the presence of peraipical infection
  • Explorer will be used to exclude mobility of the buccal portion of the root
  • The thickness of the buccal portion will be reduced to 2mm
  • A large round bur will be used to reduce the height of the buccal portion in a mesiodistal direction.
  • A bone grafting material will be placed in the remaining socket
Being tested
Pontic Shield Technique

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Pontic Shield TechniqueProcedure or surgery

    • Together the apical and the palatal portions of the root in the esthetic region will be delivered and the buccal part is left for assessment of stability of bucco-palatal dimension of alveolar ridge
Study groups in NCT04566913
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Patients recruited from Cairo UniversityExperimentalAfter Cone beam CT assessment , The patient is assigned for nonsurgical periodontal phase then an impression is taken for stent formation to facilitate tissue thickness measurement . > After 2 weeks , the patient is assigned for surgical phase to extract the palatal and apical aspect of the tooth and leave the buccal portion . Socket preservation is attempted in the socket , using 'genbioss ' bone graft. Modified free gingival graft is done on the pontic site to cover the buccal root shield and the bone graft . Post operative instructions include : 1. Analgesics (Prufen 400 mg ) three times for three days 2. Antibiotic (Augmentin 1gm ) twice daily for one week The patient will be assured to contact the operator of any unexpected complications occured .
Receives: Procedure: Pontic Shield Technique

What is being measured

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

  1. Bucco-lingual ridge dimension

    To assess the stability of the ridge after surgical procedure using bone calliper and CBCT via subtractive method technique

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Labial bone thickness

    To assess the stability of labial plate after surgical procedure using CBCT via subtractive method technique

    Measured: 6 months

  2. Gingival thickness

    assess the the thickness of labial tissue using endodontic spreader to identify a numerical value

    Measured: 3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Pontic Shield Technique in people with To Assess Bucco-lingual Dimension of the Ridge While Using Pontic Shield Technique as a Treatment Modality for Ridge Preservation, 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?

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 28 Sep 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?

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?

Bucco-lingual ridge dimension (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 28 Sep 2020.
