About this study

The study is a two-arm, parallel-design, randomized, prospective clinical trial designed to examine histologic wound healing following ridge preservation using bovine xenograft and porcine xenograft materials.This protocol involves procedures that are standard care. All materials are FDA-approved materials being used in an FDA-approved manner. The test group subjects will have extraction sockets grafted with porcine xenograft (Zcore). This test group will be compared to an active control group using bovine xenograft (Bio-Oss). The null hypothesis is that there will be no significant difference in formation of new vital bone between treatment groups (primary outcome).

Each subjects will have a non-molar tooth extracted and the socket grafted with either test or control graft material. At the time of dental implant placement 18-20 weeks after tooth extraction a small core biopsy specimen will be removed from the implant site. The core biopsy will then be evaluated for the primary histologic outcome of % vital bone formation and secondary histologic outcome of % residual graft material.

Read the detailed description

The study is designed to examine histologic wound healing following ridge preservation using bovine xenograft and porcine xenograft materials.

This entire protocol involves procedures that are standard care. The study is a 2-arm, parallel-design, randomized, prospective clinical trial. The test group subjects will have extraction sockets grafted with porcine xenograft (Zcore). This test group will be compared to an active control group using bovine xenograft (Bio-Oss). The null hypothesis is that there will be no significant difference in formation of new vital bone between treatment groups (primary outcome).

In keeping with the protocol our study group has used several times before, the plan will be to extract non-molar teeth and graft with the test/control materials. Each subject will provide a single non-molar tooth site for study treatment. The graft material will be covered with a non-resorbable dense polytetrafluoroethylene (d-PTFE) membrane (TXT-200 singles, Osteogenics Inc). This d-PTFE membrane will be removed 4 weeks after placement during the 4-week post-op visit. Following 18-20 weeks of healing, the dental implant will be placed. To place a dental implant, an osteotomy (hole in the bone) is prepared into which the implant is placed. This osteotomy can be prepared with either a solid drill, in which case the bone that is removed is suctioned into the suction system, or with a hollow trephine drill into which a core of bone can be collected. The only "research procedure" being done in the current study is the collection of this bone core biopsy for histologic evaluation. The core biopsy will then be evaluated for the primary histologic outcome of % vital bone formation and secondary histologic outcome of % residual graft material.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Porcine Xenograft (Zcore) and Bovine Xenograft (Bio-Oss) in people with Alveolar Bone Loss, run by The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio 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 10 inclusion and 7 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 8 Jan 2019. 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. 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 8 Jan 2019). 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?

% Vital Bone Formation (Histological) (time frame: 18-20 weeks after ridge preservation). 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 NCT02802319, 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 8 Jan 2019.
