Clinical Trial Summary

To compare the effectiveness of demineralized freeze-dried bone allograft + cross-linked collagen membrane with xenograft + non-cross-linked collagen membrane for posterior extraction socket ridge preservation.

Description:

Buccal bony wall loss is a common sequela following tooth extraction, and guided bone regeneration (GBR) is a common treatment for the regeneration of ridge form and volume preservation allowing dental implant placement. Many bone augmentation biomaterials are employed to accomplish GBR, and both the medical/ dental community and, subsequently, patients benefit from understanding whether a given GBR biomaterial might be more efficacious. To this end, a randomized, case series comparison of allograft + x-linked collagen membrane versus xenograft + non-x-linked collagen membrane would be beneficial to both the dental community and patients.

The study compares the effectiveness of demineralized freeze-dried bone allograft + x-linked collagen membrane with xenograft + non-x-linked collagen membrane for posterior region extraction socket ridge preservation.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Subjects 18 to 70-yrs of age

2. Subject indicated for posterior tooth extraction (from 1st premolar to 1st molar) intended for implant placement, with adjacent teeth intact (for stent indexing)

3. Subjects with extraction site bony buccal dehiscences at least 1/3 the depth of socket and 1/3 the mesial-distal width of tooth socket

4. Subjects will have read, understood and signed an institutional review board (IRB) approved Informed Consent Form (ICF).

5. Subjects must be able and willing to follow study procedures and instructions.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Subjects with a history of any tobacco use within the last six months.

2. Subjects with healing disorders (i.e., diabetes mellitus, cancer, HIV, bone metabolic diseases) that could compromise wound healing and/ or preclude implant surgery; or who are currently receiving or have received within two months prior to study entry, systemic corticosteroids, immunosuppressive agents, radiation therapy, and/or chemotherapy which could compromise wound healing and preclude periodontal surgery.

3. Subjects taking intramuscular or intravenous bisphosphonates.

4. Subjects who have a known allergy or sensitivity to alginate, latex, collagen or acrylic.

5. Female subjects who are pregnant or lactating, or who intend to become pregnant during the study duration

6. Subjects participating in other clinical studies involving therapeutic intervention (either medical or dental).

7. Subjects, who in the opinion of the investigator, for any reason other than those listed above, will not be able to complete the study per protocol.

• Tooth Loss

Intervention

Device:
• allograft + x-link collagen membrane
Following resolution of any periodontal issues in the region of study and administration of pre-surgical antibiotic, minimally traumatic extraction with periotomes and flap reflection will be performed. Allograft will be placed according to randomization schedule and in quantity to fill the extraction socket and mimic surrounding ridge dimension. X-link collagen membrane will be trimmed to extend at least 2 mm beyond the margins of the defect, and soft tissue flaps will be re-approximated using resorbable Vicryl® 6-0.
• xenograft + non-x-link collagen
Following resolution of any periodontal issues in the region of study and administration of pre-surgical antibiotic, minimally traumatic extraction with periotomes and flap reflection will be performed. Xenograft will be placed according to randomization schedule and in quantity to fill the extraction socket and mimic surrounding ridge dimension. Non-x-link collagen membrane will be trimmed to extend at least 2 mm beyond the margins of the defect, and soft tissue flaps will be re-approximated using resorbable Vicryl® 6-0.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Bone Ridge Buccal-Lingual and Apico-Coronal Measures at 6 Months	The primary efficacy parameter will be ridge volume preservation as measured apico-coronal and buccal-lingual using a preformed and marked stent.	Six Months	No
Secondary	New Bone Plus Graft Content at 6-months	New bone and graft content are measured as histomorphometric % vital bone and % mineral (graft remnants) from mid-section bone core biopsies. Histomorphometric analyses are performed with imaging software on composite overview scans. The area of new healing (versus old/ original bony tissues) is demarcated in each section. Within this area, the percentage contributions of each tissue type within the overall area of newly healed tissue is computed, i.e., new bone plus graft content added with connective tissue/ marrow elements totals 100% of the "new healing" area.	Six Months	No
Secondary	Wound Closure at 4-weeks	Suture line gap will be measured (buccal-lingual) with a UNC-15 Probe, rounding down to the nearest 0.5 mm.	4-weeks	No
