About this study

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if ridge preservation methods with dense polytetrafluoroethylene membranes, with d-PTFE membranes and platelet-rich plasma, and with free gingival grafts can reduce vertical resorption of the post-extraction socket walls.

Researchers compared each experimental group to a control group (unassisted socket healing). Participants were randomly allocated to one of the four groups.

Cone-beam computed tomography was performed after the procedure and 3 months post-operatively to evaluate the vertical socket wall resorption.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Ridge preservation with dense polytetrafluoroethylene membraneExperimentalTooth extraction and ridge prservation with dense PTFE membrane to cover the socket was used in this group.
Receives: Procedure: Ridge preservation technique
Ridge preservation with dense polytetrafluoroethylene membrane and platelet-rich plasmaExperimentalTooth extraction and ridge prservation with dense PTFE membrane and autologous PRP was used in this group.
Receives: Procedure: ridge preservation
Ridge preservation with free gingival graftsExperimentalTooth extraction and ridge prservation with autologous free gingival grafts as a method for socket sealing was used. Donor sites were the hard palate and the maxillary tuberosity.

Control groupNo interventionTooth extraction without ridge preservation.

What is being measured

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

  1. Vertical post-extraction resorption of the socket walls

    Each socket wall is measured using CBCT right after the extraction and after 3 months to assess the vertical resorption.

    Measured: 3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Ridge preservation technique and ridge preservation in people with Post-Extraction Socket Healing and Ridge Preservation, run by Medical University of Varna at 1 site in Bulgaria.

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 5 inclusion and 16 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 Bulgaria. 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?

Vertical post-extraction resorption of the socket walls (time frame: 3 months). 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 1 Oct 2024.
