What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
FoundationDevice
Collagen-based, bone filling augmentation material used to stimulate bone formation in extraction sockets or bone defects in the alveolar ridge.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Treatment | Experimental | Surgical sites (osteotomy) assigned to this group received endodontic microsurgery procedure+ Foundation (J. Morita USA). Receives: Device: Foundation |

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
2D Radiographic Healing at 12 Months Follow up (Overall Cases)
Periapical healing was assessed by qualitatively evaluating bone regeneration through PA radiographs using well-established criteria. Molven's criteria categorize healing using periapical films into four categories: complete healing, incomplete healing, uncertain and unsatisfactory healing.
Measured: 12 months
3D Radiographic Healing at 12 Months Follow up (Overall Cases)
Periapical healing was assessed by qualitatively evaluating bone regeneration through CBCT scans using Penn 3D criteria. Cases were classified into complete, limited, or unsatisfactory healing.
Measured: 12 months
2D Radiographic Healing at 12 Months Follow up (Asymptomatic Cases Only)
Periapical healing was assessed by qualitatively evaluating bone regeneration through PA radiographs using well-established criteria. Molven's criteria categorize healing using periapical films into four categories: complete healing, incomplete healing, uncertain and unsatisfactory healing.
Measured: 12 months
3D Radiographic Healing at 12 Months Follow up (Asymptomatic Cases Only)
Periapical healing was assessed by qualitatively evaluating bone regeneration through CBCT scans using Penn 3D criteria. Cases were classified into complete, limited, or unsatisfactory healing
Measured: 12 months
Secondary outcomes (2)
C Score (Overall Cases)
Cortical plate healing using RAC/B index as evaluated on CBCT scans.
Score 0: Cortical plate not re-established (Nonhealed). Score 1: Cortical plate is partially re-established (Partially healed). Score 2: Cortical plate is re-established (Completely healed).
Measured: 12 months
C Score (Asymptomatic Cases Only)
Cortical plate healing using RAC/B index as evaluated on CBCT scans.
Score 0: Cortical plate not re-established (Nonhealed). Score 1: Cortical plate is partially re-established (Partially healed). Score 2: Cortical plate is re-established (Completely healed).
Measured: 12 months

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Foundation in people with Apical Periodontitis, run by University of Pennsylvania 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 3 inclusion and 5 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 21 Nov 2022. 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 21 Nov 2022). 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?
2D Radiographic Healing at 12 Months Follow up (Overall Cases) (time frame: 12 months). The study lists 4 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 21 Nov 2022.
