About this study

Official title: Single Center Open-Label Post Market Clinical Follow-Up (PMCF) -Study on the Performance of Safety of SILKAM® Suture Material in Oral Surgery

Assessment of SILKAM® suture material in mucosal closure in oral surgery (mucosal sutures). A prospective, monocentric, single arm observational study.

Read the detailed description

The aim of this Non Interventional Study is to collect systematically and proactively different clinical parameters regarding safety, effectiveness, and performance of SILKAM® suture material under the daily routine clinical practice when is intended to be used for oral surgery. All patients enrolled will be prospectively followed until suture removal, which takes place approximately one week post-operatively.

What is being measured

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

  1. Surgical Wound Dehiscence rate

    Pathologic process consisting of a partial or complete disruption of the layers of a surgical wound.

    Measured: until day of suture removal (approximately 1 week after surgery)

  2. Complication rate

    Complications rate according to the "Classification of Askar" as Grade 1 (Localized complication(s) accompanied by no adverse effects on the success of the surgery) and Grade 2 (Localized complication(s) accompanied by adverse effects on the success of the surgery).

    Measured: until day of suture removal (approximately 1 week after surgery)

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Complication rate

    Complications rate according to the "Classification of Askar" as Grade 3 (Localized or systemic complication(s) that impairs the patient's daily routine but does not require hospitalization), Grade 4 (Localized or systemic complication(s) that impairs the patient's daily routine and requires hospitalization), Grade 5 (Localized or systemic complication(s) that inflicts irreversible damage to >1 anatomical structures), or Grade 6 (Localized or systemic complication(s) that lead to death.

    Measured: until day of suture removal (approximately 1 week after surgery)

  2. Pain assessment using the visual analogue scale (VAS 1-100)

    This parameter will be noted according to the Patient self assessment using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) which state "0" at one end representing "no pain" and "100" at the opposite end representing "maximal pain".

    Measured: until day of suture removal (approximately 1 week after surgery)

  3. Satisfaction of the patient using the visual analogue scale (VAS 1-100)

    This parameter will be noted according to the Patient self assessment using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) which state "0" at one end representing "completely satisfied" and "100" at the opposite end representing "not at all satisfied".

    Measured: until day of suture removal (approximately 1 week after surgery)

  4. Wound healing assessment using the visual analogue scale (VAS 1-100)

    This parameter will be noted by the surgeon using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) which state "0" at one end representing "very good wound healing" and "100" at the opposite end representing "very bad wound healing".

    Measured: until day of suture removal (approximately 1 week after surgery)

  5. Assessment of the handling of the suture material

    Evaluation of the handling of the suture material in five categories (Knot security, Knot run down, Knot pull tensile strength, Tissue drag, Pliability) with the 5 evaluation levels each: 'excellent', 'very good', 'good', 'satisfied' and 'poor' transferred into the evaluation scores 5, 4, 3, 2 and 1.

    Measured: intraoperatively

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Tooth, Impacted and Teeth Impact, run by Aesculap AG at 1 site in Spain.

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 1 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 20 Feb 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 Spain. 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?

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?

Surgical Wound Dehiscence rate (time frame: until day of suture removal (approximately 1 week after surgery)). The study lists 2 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 20 Feb 2024.
