Trial summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to determine whether a graft material introduced recently (test) to be used in extraction sockets is as good as a previously known graft material (control) in adults undergoing tooth extraction of a single-rooted tooth. Read more about this study

About this study

The goal of this clinical trial is to determine whether a graft material introduced recently (test) to be used in extraction sockets is as good as a previously known graft material (control) in adults undergoing tooth extraction of a single-rooted tooth.

The main question it aims to answer is:

Read more

Is this graft material able to maintain good bone volume and composition after extraction?

Researchers will compare this new graft to a well-studied graft material.

Participants will be randomly assigned to one of the groups and will receive the allocated graft after tooth extraction. The dimension of the alveolar ridge, which supports teeth in the jaw, will be measured before extraction and four months after healing. A cone beam CT Scan will also be obtained.

Read the detailed description

Alveolar ridge resorption after tooth extraction poses a substantial obstacle for subsequent implant placement, frequently necessitating ridge augmentation treatments. Alveolar ridge preservation (ARP) is intended to reduce these dimensional alterations. Various grafting materials have been used for ARP, with varying success rates in maintaining ridge dimensions. This study compares the clinical and radiological outcomes of a composite graft plug of bioactive resorbable calcium apatite crystals embedded in a collagen matrix to a typical allograft.

This randomized controlled clinical experiment comprised 26 people needing a single-rooted tooth extracted. They were divided into two groups: composite plug and allograft. Clinical measures of soft tissue were collected at baseline and four months after extraction using a stent with reference points. At baseline and four months after extraction, radiographic examinations were performed using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT).

What is being measured

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

  1. clinical and radiographic ridge alterations

    Using a standardized stent with reference points , the following horizontal clinical measurements were obtained before extraction through the stent holes: buccal soft tissue thickness at 4, 7, and 10 mm apical to the gingival margin and palatal or lingual soft tissue thickness at similar sites. Vertical measurements were obtained an incisal or occlusal hole to the buccal aspect of the ridge (inciso-buccal) and the palatal/ lingual aspect (inciso-palatal). Radiographic width of the alveolar ridge was measure at the same reference points.

    theses measurements were taken at baseline (before extraction) and at 4 months after extraction and socket graft

    Measured: four months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Composite graft plug and Allograft in people with Extraction Socket Healing and Socket Preservation, run by King Abdulaziz University at 1 site in Saudi Arabia.

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 1 Oct 2024. 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 Saudi Arabia. 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?

clinical and radiographic ridge alterations (time frame: four months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT06617221, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 1 Oct 2024.
