About this study

Official title: Effect of Local Application of Platelet-Rich Fibrin Scaffold Loaded With Simvastatin Versus Bone Powder on Peri-Implant Bone Changes

This study is conducted A- To investigate that PRF loaded with osteopromotive pharmacological drug can be a great aid in implant rehabilitation, and whether it could be a replacement for the other high price bone graft materials or not.

This will be done through:

  1. Measuring bone changes around the implant by cone beam
  2. Measuring change in bone density around the implants

B- Evaluate the effect of statins on osteoblasts activity and expression of various osteogenic products in vitro.

Read the detailed description

Twenty four patients requiring rehabilitation by immediate implantation in an extraction socket were recruited for this study. The Patients were divided into three groups (n=8), For the first group; immediately after extraction, PRF alone was added into the extraction socket prior to implant insertion. For the second group, PRF + 1.2mg Statin powder are inserted into the extraction site before implant insertion. For the third Group; PRF + Bone powder are inserted into the extraction site before implant insertion. A conebeam CT was used to evaluate the effect on bone changes and bone density around implant sites, for every patient in all implant groups immediately after the surgery and at follow-up time. In vitro experiment: isolation of human Adipose mesenchymal stem cells (hAd-MSCs), characterization and osteogenic differentiation will be done. The cells were divided into two groups one control group and the other statin group. Osteogenic markers were measured in both groups and statistical analysis performed

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Simvastatin in people with Dental Caries Extending to Pulp and Dental Implant Failed, run by British University In Egypt 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 3 inclusion and 6 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 6 Sep 2023. 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. 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 combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

Changes in crestal peri-imlant Bone (time frame: 12 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 6 Sep 2023.
