Trial summary

Twenty compromised post-extraction sockets were managed by VST and IMP. After tooth extraction and IMP, a vestibular incision was cut and a cortical bone shield was stabilized. The jumping gap was then filled with particulate bone graft, which was protected by a healing abutment. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Vestibular Socket Therapy With Immediate Implant Placement for Managing Compromised Fresh Extraction Sockets: A Prospective Single Arm Clinical Trial

Twenty compromised post-extraction sockets were managed by VST and IMP. After tooth extraction and IMP, a vestibular incision was cut and a cortical bone shield was stabilized. The jumping gap was then filled with particulate bone graft, which was protected by a healing abutment. After 2 years labial plate thickness was evaluated at 3 levels (crestal, middle and apical) using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). Pink esthetic core (PES), and probing depth (PD) were also measured. 2 year following implant placement, the mean differences (µ) and standard deviations (SD) were calculated. Paired t-test was used for detecting significant results at P≤.05.

Read the detailed description

In this protocol, atraumatic tooth extraction was carried out using periotomes (Stoma, Storz am Mark GmbH, Emmingen-Liptingen Germany) under local anaesthesia (ARTINIBSA 4% 1:100.000. Inibsa Dental S.L.U. Barcelona, SPAIN). After that, the socket was thoroughly curetted and debrided and repeatedly irrigated with 100 ml of anti-anaerobic infusion solution of 500 mg Metronidazole (Minapharm pharmaceuticals, Egypt). The root was then trimmed to half-length, its surface cleansed with an ultrasonic cleaner , and reinserted into the socket with its crown bonded to adjacent teeth . After six days, the root was removed and VST protocol was implemented.

Vestibular socket therapy (VST) included the following steps. a-traumatic tooth extraction, the socket curetted and rinsed with normal saline thoroughly (Figure 2 a,b). One-cm long vestibular access incision was made using a 15c blade (Stoma, Storz am Mark GmbH, Emmingen-Liptingen Germany) 3-4 mm apical to the mucogingival junction at the related socket (. A subperiosteal tunnel was created connecting the socket orifice and the vestibular access incision using periotomes and micro periosteal elevators (Stoma, Storz am Mark GmbH, Emmingen-Liptingen Germany) . A prefabricated CAD CAM surgical guide was used to deliver the implant fixture (Biohorizons, Birmingham, Al, USA) to its pre-planned location 3-4 mm apical to socket base with adequate primary stability achieved using a torque wrench reaching 30 Ncm torque (Figure 2 g). A flexible cortical membrane shield that is made of cortical bone of heterologous origin of 0.6 mm thickness (OsteoBiol® Lamina , Tecnoss®, Torino, Italy) was hydrated and then trimmed and introduced from the vestibular access incision reaching 1 mm below the socket orifice through the tunnel then stabilized using a membrane tack or a micro screw to the alveolar bone apical to the base of the socket (AutoTac System Kit, Biohorizons Implant Systems, Birmingham , Alabama Inc, USA) . The socket gap between the implant and the shield was then packed thoroughly with particulate bone graft (75% autogenous bone chips and 25% deproteinized bovine bone mineral (DBBM) of equine origin, fully enzyme deantigenised (Bio-Gen Mix, Bioteck, Vicenza -Italy).

For patients exhibiting thin soft tissue phenotype (assessed using the probe transparency method) a subepithelial connective tissue graft was harvested using a single incision technique (Hürzeler MB \& Weng D 1999) from the palate which and secured to the inner surface of the soft tissue tunnel wall with sutures. Finally, the vestibular incision was secured with 6/0 nylon sutures (Stoma, Storz am Mark GmbH, Emmingen-Liptingen Germany) . A chairside-fabricated anatomical healing abutment was used to seal the socket orifice . restorative phase then took place 45 days post-surgery till the final restoration finally cemented at 2 months post-surgery and followed up for 2 years using CBCT.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing vestibular socket therapy in people with Implant Site Reaction, run by Cairo University at 1 site in Egypt.

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 3 inclusion and 3 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 Apr 2020. 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 Egypt. 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?

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?

bone thickness (time frame: 2 years). 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 17 Apr 2020.
