regeneration of post extraction socket with biomaterials

regeneration of post extraction socket with biomaterials: after tooth extraction, in the test group we will place a demineralised bovine bone graft mixed with a gel containing hyaluronic acid and polynucleotide and we will cover the entrance of the socket with a collagen matrix

Study summary

The aim of this study is to test the use of a bovine-derived bone graft combined with a polynucleotides-rich hyaluronic acid (PNHA) gel for the preservation of the bone after a tooth extraction (alveolar ridge preservation) and to test the performance of a fully-digital workflow to rehabilitate the site with a dental implant. 40 patients in need for a single tooth extraction will be recruited at Centro di Odontoiatria, Università di Parma and they will be randomly assigned to 2 groups: extraction and spontaneous healing or extraction and regeneration of the site with a bovine-derived bone graft combined with a PNHA gel. At 4 months after extraction an implant will be placed in the extraction site, which will be rehabilitated with a fully-digital workflow and patients will be followed up at up to 12 months post rehabilitation. Two 3D x-rays with a small field of view will be performed immediately after extraction and at 4 months post extraction to plan implant placement. These images will also be used to assess changes in the dimension of the post extraction bone (primary outcome). As part of the study different questionnaires will be administered to assess quality of life and perception of the therapy and the wound exudate in the area of the extraction will be collected non invasively with a collagen sponge to assess the expression of different proteins during the early healing days. On the day of implant placement a sample of bone tissue will also be collected as part of the bone drilling and histologically analysed.

Inclusion Criteria: * ≥25-year-old males and females; * good systemic health (self-assessment); * presence of an unrestorable/hopeless tooth with periodontal attachment and buccal bone preserved at least for 2/3rd of the root and not associated with acute periapical pathology; * full mouth bleeding and plaque scores ≤ 25% Exclusion Criteria: * uncontrolled or untreated periodontal disease; * history of local (head and neck) radiation therapy in the past 5 years; * acute endodontic lesion in the test tooth or in the neighbouring areas to the extraction procedure (sites with presence of an asymptomatic chronic lesion are eligible); * medical history that includes uncontrolled diabetes or hepatic or renal disease, or other serious medical conditions that can impact on bone metabolism (e.g. rheumatoid arthritis, osteoporosis) or transmittable diseases (e.g. HIV-related disease); * history of alcohol or drug abuse; * smokers of ≥10 cigarettes a day; * self-reported pregnancy or lactation.
