About this study

Official title: Hyaluronic Acid and Amino Acid Gel Applied to the Alveolar Socket After Mandibular Third Molar Extraction Promotes Wound Healing: a Double Blind Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial

Objective: The study aimed to assess the effect of topical application of an amino acid + sodium hyaluronate acid gel after lower third molar extraction.

Study design: 136 patients requiring lower third molar extraction were enrolled. An amino acid + sodium hyaluronate acid (HA) gel was applied to the sockets of the patients in the treatment group immediately following extraction; the sockets of the controls were simply flushed with a sterile saline solution. 7 and 14 days after surgery, patients' outcomes and postoperative complications were evaluated. Cumulative incidence of dehiscence and secondary outcome measures were analyzed using a chi-square test.

Read the detailed description

A lower third molar was extracted under local anesthesia generally involving an inferior alveolar nerve block associated with a buccal nerve block (2% mepivacaine with 1:100,000 epinephrine, Optocain, Molteni Dental, Italy), plus sedation as necessary. All the surgical tools and materials as well as the surgical field were sterile. A full-thickness flap was raised and, if necessary, osteotomy and tooth sectioning were performed using a straight handpiece with dedicated burs under copious irrigation with sterile saline solution. The extraction was completed with curved and straight extractors, the socket was closely inspected and the dental follicle was removed. The bone edges were refined to remove the bone spurs with a bone lime and then irrigated with abundant sterile 0.9% saline solution. Depending on the group to which the patient was assigned, one of the following procedures was carried out: the socket was filled with a topical amino acid + sodium hyaluronate gel (Aminogam®, sterile syringe 2 ml) or the socket was flushed, using a 2ml sterile syringe similar to one utilized to apply the gel, with sterile physiological solution. The flap was then repositioned and sutured (Novosyn 4.0, B. Braun AG, Melsungen, Germany) to allow healing by primary intention. After surgery, the patients were prescribed antibiotics (amoxicillin clavulanate 1 g every 12 hours for 6 days, or clarithromycin 250 mg every 12 hours for 6 days) and painkillers (paracetamol 1000 mg every 8 hours was recommended). The patients were also provided standard postoperative recommendations regarding activity, diet, and smoking. The following data were registered at the time of surgery: the range of pre-operative mouth opening measurement (assessed by measuring the distance between the incisors), the type of sedation utilized, if osteotomy or root resection was carried out, the quantity of peri-operative bleeding, the amount of time between incision and suture (surgical procedure time).

What is being measured

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

  1. cumulative incidence of dehiscence

    Surgical wound dehiscence is defined as a pathologic process consisting of a partial or complete disruption of the buccal and lingual mucosa layers of a surgical wound.

    Measured: 14 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Aminogam in people with Pain and Oral Surgery, run by University of Padova, School of Dental Medicine at 1 site in Italy.

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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Feb 2018. 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 Italy. 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?

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?

cumulative incidence of dehiscence (time frame: 14 days). 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 12 Feb 2018.
