About this study

Official title: Use of Erbium Laser With the Wavelength 2.94 nm for Extraction of the Impacted Lower Third Molars

A comparative analysis of the effectiveness of the erbium laser with the wavelength of 2.94 µm and traditional instruments in the extraction of the impacted lower third molars will be performed. Clinical, radiological and biochemical findings will be assessed after extraction of the impacted lower third molars.

Read the detailed description

A single-centre, interventional, non-randomized, prospective clinical trial in 2 parallel groups is planned. The lower third molars will be extracted in 60 patients. There will be 2 groups. The number of men and women in both groups will be the same, the patients age will be between 18 and 70 years. In the study group the lower third molars will be extracted using erbium laser with a wavelength of 2.94 µm (Erbium laser Smart 2940D plus with the wavelength 2,94 µm, company- DEKA, Italy, registration № 2005/1245), in the control group the lower third molars will be extracted using the conventional method (cutting and rotating instruments). Postoperative clinical symptoms such as collateral soft tissue swelling, postoperative pain, trismus in the extraction site and healing time (epithelization and bone regeneration) will be assessed. The epithelization will be assessed after 7, 10, 14 days. The bone regeneration will be assessed by cone beam computed tomography (KAVO, ORTHOPANTOMOGRAPH ОР 3D, type: РСХ-1; registration № РЗН 2020/10586) after 1, 3, 6 months. The radiation exposure will not exceed the permissible limits. Biochemical indicators in the saliva will be assessed before extraction, after extraction, 3 days and 7 days after the extraction. The Shapiro-Wilk test will be applied to check the normality of variable distribu- tion. Qualitative variables will be analyzed by Pearson's chi-squared test. Quantitative variables (normal distribution of variable) will be analyzed by Students t-test, non-normal distribution of variables will be analyzed by Mann-Whitney U test.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Third molar extraction by cutting and rotary toolsProcedure or surgery

    Extraction of the impacted lower third molar will be conducted using cutting and rotary tools under the local anesthesia (Ultracain D-S 1:100000 40 mg/ml, active substance- articaine+epinephrine, registration № П N015119/01 ). Scalpel will be used for the incision of the soft tissues, rotary instruments will be used for the bone tissue and tooth fragmentation. After the extraction the wound will be sutured by the suture material.

What is being measured

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

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Svetlana Tarasenko (+7-985-773-48-53, tarasenko_s_v@staff.sechenov.ru), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Assessment the level of bone regeneration according to Radiographic bone height (RBH) (time frame: Days 180 after extraction). 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 14 Sep 2022.
