About this study

Official title: Effects of Pre-operative Antibiotics on the Wound Healing Following Clinical Crown Lengthening Surgery

The goal of this clinical trial is to test the effects of prophylactic antibiotics in healthy individuals who are in need of surgical crown lengthening. The main question it aims to answer is if single dose antibiotics prior to surgical crown lengthening has any effects on the healing outcomes.

Participants will be asked to take either

  • 2 g of amoxicillin + clavulanate, or
  • placebo, one hour prior to surgery and without knowing what medicine they took.

Researchers will compare the wound healing and self-reported outcomes of the antibiotics group and placebo group.

Being tested
Surgical crown lengthening, Augmentin
Medical subject headings

    Tissue color Redder or whiter than opposite site: 0; Similar to opposite site: 1

    Incision margins Incomplete flap closure/fibrin clot/partial or complete necrosis: 0; Complete closure/fine fibrin line: 1

    Suppuration Yes: 0; No: 1

    Edema VAS 6-10: 0; VAS 1-5: 1

    Pain VAS 6-10: 0; VAS 1-5: 1

    Measured: at 3 days

  2. Early healing index (proliferation phase)

    Scores are given as specified below (Hamzani et al. 2018)

    Tissue color Redder or whiter than opposite site: 0; Similar to opposite site: 1

    Scar wider than 2 mm/contour irregularity: 0; scar less than 2 mm/contour regularity: 1

    Pain VAS 6-10: 0; VAS 1-5: 1

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Surgical crown lengthening and Augmentin in people with Tooth Diseases and Tooth Wear, run by Biruni 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 1 inclusion and 10 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 19 Jul 2023. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Mustafa YILMAZ, PhD, DDS (+902124440276, myilmaz@biruni.edu.tr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Early healing index (inflammation phase) (time frame: at 3 days). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05925179, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 19 Jul 2023.
