About this study

Official title: Demineralized Whole-tooth vs Demineralized Particulate Dentin Grafts in Alveolar Ridge Preservation. a Randomized Controlled Trial.

The aim of this trial is to compare whole-tooth vs particulate dentin for their effects in alveolar ridge preservation.

Read the detailed description

Extraction of the teeth is still one of the most commonly undertaken procedures in dental practices due to various reasons that render the teeth non-restorable. Following extraction, replacing the lost teeth with a prosthetic alternative that provides for both optimal esthetics and function can be challenging due to the inevitable events of socket healing that results in the reduction in alveolar bone height and width. To overcome these limitations and provide for adequate ridge volume, different bone preservation or augmentation techniques can be utilized with different clinical applications.

Alveolar ridge preservation is a procedure that attempts to reduce bone dimensional changes that naturally take place following tooth extraction. To overcome this problem, various approaches using various grafting materials and/or covering membranes have been proposed with varied success. The extracted tooth is no longer considered as clinical waste, it has been explored as an appropriate source for autogenous graft substitute. This idea emerged due to the shared embryonic origin of bone and teeth as well as the similarities in chemical structure as dentin is composed of 30-35% organic part and 65-70% inorganic part in comparison to alveolar bone, with inorganic and organic parts of 35% and 65% respectively. Both whole-tooth and particulate forms has been utilized for alveolar ridge preservation or augmentation but the superiority of one form over the other is not yet clear.

What is being measured

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

  1. Alveolar bone width change in mm

    Alveolar bone linear width will be measured at baseline at final cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans. The change in bone width will be calculated as the subtraction of final width from baseline width and will be expressed in millimetres.

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Alveolar bone height change in mm

    Alveolar bone linear height will be measured at baseline at final cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans. The change in bone height will be calculated as the subtraction of final height from baseline height and will be expressed in millimetres.

    Measured: 6 months

  2. Histological assessment

    Bone samples from at least one control and one intervention site will be taken during implant placement using a trephine bur. Samples will be examined for new bone formation (Yes/no) and inflammatory response (Yes/no).

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Alveolar ridge preservation using whole-tooth dentin graft and Alveolar ridge preservation using particulate dentin graft in people with Alveolar Bone Loss, 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 4 inclusion and 4 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 Apr 2022. 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 Ahmed Elfana, MSc (+2223634965, ahmed.abdelraouf@dentistry.cu.edu.eg), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Alveolar bone width change in mm (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 Apr 2022.
