About this study

Official title: Efficacy of Socket Grafting for Alveolar Ridge Preservation: A Randomized Controlled Trial

The purpose of this study is to clinically and radiographically assess whether the use of a ridge preservation technique significantly minimizes alveolar ridge resorption following tooth extraction.

Read the detailed description

Subjects requiring single-rooted tooth extractions and future tooth replacement therapy with implant-supported restorations will be recruited. Subjects will be randomly assigned to either a control (tooth extraction alone) or an experimental group (tooth extraction and ridge preservation using an allograft to fill the alveolar socket covered with a non-absorbable, dense polytetrafluoroethylene membrane [dPTFE]). Clinical linear measurements of the ridge (horizontal and vertical) will be obtained using a tooth-supported stent. Following extraction, primary closure of the socket will not be attempted. Subjects will be re-evaluated at 1 and 4 weeks. Implant placement surgery will be performed at 16 weeks. Clinical measurements will be repeated upon surgical re-entry. Cone beam computed tomographic (CBCT) scans will be obtained at baseline (after tooth extraction) and at 14 weeks (prior to implant placement) to assess alveolar ridge volumetric changes (primary outcome). Secondary outcome measures include changes in bucco-lingual and apico-coronal clinical measurements of the ridge and changes in modified wound healing index changes overtime. The influence of the thickness of the facial and lingual bone of the alveolar ridge and the width of the keratinized tissue on the remodeling of the ridge will be evaluated.

What is being measured

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

  1. Alveolar Ridge Volumetric Changes

    3D reconstructions using radiographic data obtained at baseline and at 14 weeks after the intervention was utilized to calculate the reduction of bone volume that took place during the healing period in both groups

    Measured: Baseline to Week 14 after tooth extraction

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Changes in Bucco-lingual Ridge Dimension

    Linear ridge width change at the bone crest

    Measured: Baseline to Week 14 after tooth extraction

  2. Changes in Apico-coronal Ridge Dimension

    Linear ridge height change at the mid-facial aspect of the ridge

    Measured: Week 14 after tooth extraction

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Tooth extraction and grafting with allograft and Tooth extraction in people with Atrophy of Edentulous Alveolar Ridge, run by University of Iowa at 1 site in United States.

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 14 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 17 Aug 2017. 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 United States. 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.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 11 Jul 2017). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Alveolar Ridge Volumetric Changes (time frame: Baseline to Week 14 after tooth extraction). 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 NCT01794806, 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 17 Aug 2017.
