About this study

Official title: Clinical Evaluation of Freeze-Dried Bone Allograft Compared to Collagen-Enriched Bovine Xenograft for Alveolar Ridge Preservation of Anterior Extraction Sockets.

The purpose of this study is to compare two different bone graft materials (freeze-dried bone allograft, FDBA and collagen-enriched bovine xenograft, CEBX) that are routinely used for preserving the remaining bone after extraction of an anterior tooth, and before placing a dental implant. Patients will be randomly assigned to either group (flip of a coin) One group will receive FDBA material and the other group will receive CEBX (cow) material.

The study aims to examine the following main questions:

Read more
  • Potential differences in linear radiographic horizontal (HRD) and vertical (VRD) ridge dimensional changes between groups after 16 weeks of healing
  • Other clinical information of the treated areas and information regarding the esthetics of the dental implant that will subsequently be placed at the edentulous site as well as patient satisfaction with the treatment, will be evaluated.

The study will include 7 study visits. Study procedures will take place during the same visits as the standard of care treatments (tooth extraction and bone graft, dental implant placement, crown installation and follow-ups). Clinical information from these standard of care visits will be used for the current research study, such as:

  • Demographic information
  • Clinical information from intraoral photographs
  • Radiographic information from cone beam computed tomography and periapical radiographs.
Read the detailed description

The study will compare clinical, radiographic (dental cone beam computed tomography) and histologic outcomes upon tooth extraction and alveolar ridge preservation (ARP) as well as clinical, radiographic and patient-reported outcomes upon implant placement and crown fabrication at the same site.

Both bone graft materials (FDBA and CEBX) are FDA approved and are widely available in the US market and are routinely used in everyday practices and within the university.

  • FDBA is produced by Community Blood Center (Community Tissue Services, Ohio, USA) (FEI: 3008808182).
  • CEBX is produced by Geistlich Pharma AG (Wolhusen, Switzerland) [501(k) #: K122894].

Both materials will be stored and utilized based on manufacturers' recommendations and as per of Standard of Care protocols within the university.

Participants and investigators will be unaware of the envelope content and each participant will be asked to randomly pick an envelope and immediately both the participant as well as the investigator will be informed about the envelope content and, therefore, the group allocation. Eventually, participants and investigators will be aware of the group allocation, except for the investigator who will conduct all the study measurements who will remain blinded.

Upon healing, both groups will receive similar treatment as far as implant placement and crown restoration is concerned.

Interventions and procedures

The study-related interventions and procedures will more specifically include:

  1. Evaluation of horizontal and vertical ridge dimensional changes as well as contour changes upon standard of care procedures (alveolar ridge preservation) through cone beam computed tomography and intraoral scanning, respectively, after 16 weeks of healing.
  2. Determination of the feasibility of prosthetically driven implant placement upon standard of care evaluation of the post-healing cone beam computed tomography, at 16 weeks after ARP.
  3. Histological evaluation of the healed grafted area upon grafting with frequently used bone graft materials at 16 weeks of healing.
  4. Assessment of peri-implant clinical and radiographic parameters as well as crown esthetics and patient satisfaction upon 12 months from the dental implant placement.
