About this study

Official title: Effectiveness of Two Bone Substitutes, Natural and Synthetic, in Preserving the Alveolar Ridge of Single-rooted Teeth: a Pilot Single-blind, Parallel Randomised Controlled Trial

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effectiveness of a natural and synthetic bone substitute in preserving the alveolar ridge (bone) of a single- rooted tooth after an extraction.

The main question it aims to answer:

Read more

Is there a difference between natural (Bio-Oss®) and synthetic (Bonalive®) bone substitutes in preserving the alveolar ridge dimensions based on changes in the width of the alveolar ridge (expressed in millimetres) from augmentation (baseline) to 24-week follow-up (post augmentation)?

Participants will have a tooth extraction and a bone substitute will be inserted into their socket immediately after. Participants will be divided into two equal groups and those in group A will receive Bio-Oss® while those in group B will receive Bonalive®. In both groups measurements of the alveolar bone will be taken when the bone substitute is inserted and 24 weeks after the insertion of the bone substitute. These measurements will be used to compare the effectiveness of Bio-Oss® and Bonalive in preserving the alveolar bone of a tooth after an extraction.

Read the detailed description

It is a pilot single-blind two-arm parallel randomised control trial that aims to assess the differences between two bone substitutes, natural versus synthetic. The study will mimic the routine practice, and patients will be randomly allocated to receive either natural (control) or synthetic (intervention) bone substitutes. The patient follow-up period will be 24 weeks from the baseline data collection point.

The University of Central Lancashire will lead the study in collaboration with Imperial College London and dental clinics in Midlands, Southeast and Northwest England. We will recruit 34 patients who require tooth extractions and divide them into two equal groups. Patients in group A will receive Bio-Oss® , while those in group B will receive Bonalive® For both groups, the bone substitute will be inserted immediately after an extraction, and the socket will be sealed with a membrane sutured in place. Patients in both groups will be reviewed after 2 weeks to remove the suture. Patients will have another review at 24 weeks, during which the researcher will take a scan or mould, a photograph, and a small biopsy sample of the area where the bone substitute was placed. Measurements obtained at the 24-week follow-up will be used to evaluate the effectiveness and differences between natural and synthetic bone substitutes in preserving the bone supporting a tooth after an extraction.

The results of this pilot study will inform the design and implementation of a full-scale randomised controlled trial to investigate the effectiveness of bioactive glass-derived bone compared with bovine-derived bone in preserving the alveolar bone of a tooth after an extraction

What participants receive

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

  • BonaliveOther

    Bonalive® is a bioactive glass synthetic bone substitute material that has been shown to have a low substitution rate and antibacterial properties. It has been used successfully in the orthopaedics, craniofacial and ear nose and throat (ENT) specialities for the treatment of osteomyelitis, sinusitis and bony cyst cavities. There have also been a few maxillofacial surgery case reports on its usage in the jaws.

  • Bio-Oss®Other

    Bio-Oss® is a bovine xenogeneic bone graft substitute that is widely used in regenerative dentistry. Bio-Oss® is very similar to human bone in its structure and chemical make-up. The material's porosity allows for vascularisation and new bone formation.

Study groups in NCT05938114
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Group A (Bonalive®)ExperimentalThe test bone substitute is Bonalive®, bioactive glass S53P4, which contains SiO2, Na2O, CaO, and P2O5 (granule size 0.5-0.8mm). Bonalive® is osteoconductive, meaning that it has the ability of promoting bone growth across the granules and the grafting area and slowly replace it with new bone over time. Bonalive® is osteostimulative and has antibacterial properties
Receives: Other: Bonalive
Group B ( Bio-Oss®)Active comparatorThe comparator is Bio-Oss®, deproteinized bovine bone granules (granule size 0.25- 1mm). Bio-Oss® is osteoconductive, which means it acts as a scaffold only for new bone to grow.
Receives: Other: Bio-Oss®

What is being measured

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

  1. Primary outcome measure is the change in the width of the alveolar ridge

    The change in the width of the alveolar ridge is expressed in millimetres and it will be obtained using intra-oral scanners (this does not involve radiographs) or impressions and clinical photographs.

    Measured: Outcome data will be collected at baseline and week 24

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Change in height of the alveolar bone.

    The change in height of the alveolar bone expressed in millimetres. Assessment will be done using the periapical radiographs taken pre-extraction and at 24-week follow-up and intra-oral scanners (this does not involve radiographs) or impressions and clinical photographs.

    Measured: This outcome data will be collected at baseline and at week 24

  2. Changes in the vertical crestal bone level

    The change in the vertical crestal bone level is expressed in millilitres and it will be assessed with periapical radiographs taken pre-extraction and 24-week post augmentation.

    Measured: This outcome data will be collected at baseline and at week 24

  3. Presence of bone around the alveolar ridge Concentration (in nanograms) of gene expression for bone markers

    The presence of bone around the alveolar ridge will be assessed using histology (qualitative assessment of bone infiltration)

    A Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) test will be done to determine the concentration (in nanograms) of gene expression for bone markers (including osteopontin, osteocalcin) at 24-week post augmentation.

    Measured: Outcome data will be obtained at week 24
