Adjunctive Use of Polynucleotide and Hyaluronic Acid-based Gel in Alveolar Preservation After Tooth Extraction
A study testing Alveolar ridge preservation using DBBM + Regenfast + collagen matrix and Alveolar ridge preservation using DBBM + collagen matrix in people with Bone Substitutes and Tooth Extraction Status Nos, run by Adrià Jorba García at 1 site in Spain.
Trial summary
Alveolar ridge resorption after tooth extraction is a physiological process that continues throughout the patient's life due to the loss of the periodontal ligament and lack of mechanical stimulation. Alveolar ridge preservation (ARP) techniques aim to minimize dimensional changes in the ridge after tooth extraction. Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: Clinical and Histological Effects of the Adjunctive Use of Polynucleotide and Hyaluronic Acid-based Gel in Alveolar Preservation After Tooth Extraction: A Randomized Clinical Trial
Alveolar ridge resorption after tooth extraction is a physiological process that continues throughout the patient's life due to the loss of the periodontal ligament and lack of mechanical stimulation. Alveolar ridge preservation (ARP) techniques aim to minimize dimensional changes in the ridge after tooth extraction. These techniques involve grafting the socket to fill the bed and/or sealing it with a biomaterial. Currently, there is a polynucleotide and hyaluronic acid-based gel (Regenfast®) on the market that has proven useful in treating residual periodontal defects. Hyaluronic acid-based gels also appear to enhance the regenerative potential of critical bone defects in both in-vitro studies on rats and clinical studies. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the clinical and histological effects of polynucleotide and hyaluronic acid-based gel in alveolar preservation procedures.

Alveolar ridge preservation using DBBM + Regenfast + collagen matrixProcedure or surgery
Post extraction sites be filled up to the level of the highest point of the alveolar bone crest using particulate DBBM xenograft (Bio-Oss, Geistlich Pharma AG, Wolhusen, Switzerland) mixed with polynucleotide and hyaluronic acid-based gel (Regenfast®).

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Histomorphometric results
After 3 months of the ARP, A trephine with an internal diameter of 2.5 mm and a maximum length of 15 mm will be used to extract a bone core for histological analysis. Histological analyses will be performed on the entire sample area by calibrated and blinded examiners using open-source software (ImageJ, NIH). The areas of mineralized tissue and remaining xenograft material will be quantified based on their appearance and expressed as a percentage of the total area. The remaining area in the sample will be classified as non-mineralized tissue.
Measured: 3 months
Secondary outcomes (7)
Visual evaluation of socket healing.
Clinician will evaluate the healing of the socket based on a Healing index described by Avila-Ortiz, et al., 2018
Measured: At 1 week and 12 weeks
Implant insertion torque
Implant insertion torque measured in N·cm
Measured: 3 months
Need for additional bone regeneration for implant placement
Evaluation of the feasibility to place dental implant without needing additional bone regeneration
Measured: 3 months
Dimensional changes
Changes in the horizontal and vertical dimensions of the alveolar ridge after the ARP
Measured: Measurement at the day of the ARP and 3 months
Postoperative pain
Visual Analog scale.
Measured: During the first 7 postoperative days after ARP.
Analgesic medication consumption
Record of analgesics and anti-inflammatory drugs used
Measured: During the first 7 postoperative days after ARP.
Oral health related quality of life
Evaluation of the quality of life of the patient after an ARP procedure by means of the validated questionnaire OHIP-14
Measured: At the day of the ARP and 7 days postoperative

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Alveolar ridge preservation using DBBM + Regenfast + collagen matrix and Alveolar ridge preservation using DBBM + collagen matrix in people with Bone Substitutes and Tooth Extraction Status Nos, run by Adrià Jorba García 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 4 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Oct 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?
Results are not available in the source record.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Adria Jorba garcia, DDS, MS (+34 699183949, adriajorba@hotmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Histomorphometric results (time frame: 3 months). 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 NCT06633211, which also lists 5 linked publications.
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 9 Oct 2024.
