What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of bone formation

    During the postoperative interval of 30 days, the patients underwent cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). Five central transverse scan images were captured from each socket. Using the KS300 software, the gray intensity was measured in each image and the results were expressed as mean percentage of bone formation

    Measured: 30 days after extraction and treatment application

  2. Fractal dimension

    During the postoperative interval of 30 days, the patients underwent cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). Five central transverse scan images were captured from each socket. The pattern of the alveolar trabecular bone was also evaluated through the fractal dimension in each image.

    Measured: 30 days after extraction and treatment application

  3. Dimensional Alveolar changes

    To determine whether treatment could prevent loss of buccolingual thickness, was compared bone loss of 90 to 30 days between the treated and control groups.

    Measured: 30 to 90 days after extraction and treatment application

  4. Percentage of bone formation

    During the postoperative interval of 90 days, the patients underwent cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). Five central transverse scan images were captured from each socket. Using the KS300 software, the gray intensity was measured in each image and the results were expressed as mean percentage of bone formation

    Measured: 90 days after extraction and treatment application

  5. Fractal dimension

    During the postoperative interval of 90 days, the patients underwent cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). Five central transverse scan images were captured from each socket. The pattern of the alveolar trabecular bone was also evaluated through the fractal dimension in each image.

    Measured: 90 days after extraction and treatment application

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing hyaluronic acid in people with Alveolar Bone Loss, run by Federal University of Minas Gerais.

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 1 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 16 Mar 2016. 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 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?

Percentage of bone formation (time frame: 30 days after extraction and treatment application). The study lists 5 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 16 Mar 2016.
