Trial summary

Preserving the ridge dimension after tooth extraction aims to avoid the need for bone augmentation procedures before implant placement. This study aims to show that socket preservation procedure is a safe, easy and predictable method that stabilizes the bone situation when late implantation is planned. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Socket Preservation - How Successful is the Method for Inexperienced Practitioners? A Randomized Clinical Implementation in a Student Setting

Preserving the ridge dimension after tooth extraction aims to avoid the need for bone augmentation procedures before implant placement. This study aims to show that socket preservation procedure is a safe, easy and predictable method that stabilizes the bone situation when late implantation is planned.

Read the detailed description

Preserving the ridge dimension after tooth extraction aims to avoid the need for further augmentative procedures before implant placement. Immediately after the extraction a bone replacement material is inserted into the empty socket and covered with a membrane to protect it to maintain or even improve alveolar bone dimension. But how promising is it, if such an operation is carried out by an inexperienced practitioner? The aim is to show that socket preservation is a predictable, promising and an easy-to-implement method that creates a better initial bone situation for later implant placement. The execution by a student is intended as a simulation of a inexperienced practitioners.

Design:

A total of 51 patients with the need of extraction of a single-rooted lower jaw tooth (35-45) will be recruited from the dental clinic of the Sigmund Freud Private University. Written consent will be given before enrollment in the study. All subjects will receive a professional cleaning and hygiene instruction before the start of the study. The extracted tooth will be replaced by a dental implant after six months of healing.

The patients are divided into three groups (17 participants each).

Group 1 serves as a control group, no ridge prophylactic measures are taken after tooth extraction.

In groups 2 and 3 after the extraction, a socket preservation is made with a company's bone replacement material and a membrane (Geistlich (BioOss Collagen + Mucograft Seal)) by a student (Group 2) or investigator doctor (3. The allocation to the respective group is carried out randomly using a random generator. The entire treatment takes place in all groups under the supervision of one study doctor.

Dimensional changes of the bone will be measured after the extraction and after 6 month using CBCT Scans.

What participants receive

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

  • Socket PreservationProcedure or surgery

    After extracting a tooth, the alveolar socket is cleaned. A bone replacement material (Bio-Oss Collagen) is then placed into the socket and sutured with a collagen membrane (Mucograft-Seal). Patients will receive Antibiotics (Augmentin 875mg/125mg OR Dalacin C 300mg) and pain medication (Seractil forte 400 mg). Patients will be advised to carefully rinse with Chlorhexamed forte for one week. Sutures will be removed after two weeks.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Socket Preservation in people with Alveolar Bone Loss and Dental Implant, run by Sigmund Freud PrivatUniversitat.

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 5 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: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Aug 2024. 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. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Contact Katharina Georg (+4368181891155, katharina.georg@med.sfu.ac.at), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

three-dimensional bone changes (time frame: measured after six months after extraction). 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 6 Aug 2024.
