Cortical Lamina for Alveolar Ridge Preservation

NCT07231874 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 40

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This randomized controlled clinical trial aims to evaluate the efficacy of placing a cortical lamina between the elevated flap and buccal bone plate following tooth extraction for preserving alveolar ridge dimensions. Forty patients will be randomly assigned to either the test group (lamina placement) or control (no intervention). Changes in ridge width and height will be assessed using CBCT and 3D digital models after six months.

Conditions

  • Tooth Extraction
  • Periapical Infections
  • Tooth Fracture
  • Periodontal Disease, AVDC Stage 4
  • Hopeless Tooth

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Cortical Lamina Technique

Surgical placement of a cortical lamina between the buccal bone plate and elevated mucoperiosteal flap immediately after tooth extraction. The lamina serves as a barrier to stabilize the alveolar contour and promote bone preservation. The flap is sutured for non-submerged healing, and postoperative care includes chlorhexidine rinses and analgesics as needed.

PROCEDURE

Natural Healing (Control)

After tooth extraction, the site will heal naturally without placement of cortical lamina or any grafting material. The flap is repositioned and sutured for non-submerged healing. Postoperative care is identical to the test group.
