Trial Outcomes & Findings for Evaluation of Healing at Molar Extraction Sites With and Without Ridge Preservation (NCT NCT02543398)

NCT ID: NCT02543398

Last Updated: 2018-06-28

Results Overview

The width and the height of the alveolar ridge will be measured (in mm) on the initial (i.e. following tooth extraction) Cone Beam CT and on the CBCT taken prior to implant placement (i.e. 3 months after tooth extraction)

Measure
Ridge Preservation
The molar extraction socket is grafted with FDA approved materials, which includes a bone graft material derived from human donors (enCore®, Osteogenics biomedical, Lubbock, TX) and a membrane (like a thin sheet of paper) covering the grafted extraction socket. The membrane used will need to be removed at a later point since it is non-resorbable (it will not "dissolve" by itself). This membrane is made of dense polytetrafluoroethylene (dPTFE) (Cytoplast™, Osteogenics biomedical, Lubbock, TX). The procedure is called "Ridge preservation" Ridge preservation: Ridge preservation is a procedure which consists in grafting the tooth extraction socket with a bone grafting material and cover the site with a membrane to protect the site.
No Ridge Preservation
The molar extraction socket is left to heal by itself without any grafting material or membrane, i.e. "Spontaneous Healing" (No ridge preservation is performed) Ridge preservation: Ridge preservation is a procedure which consists in grafting the tooth extraction socket with a bone grafting material and cover the site with a membrane to protect the site.
