Study Summary

This trial will compare two soft tissue grafting techniques (connective tissue graft vs. acellular dermal matrix) to see which is more effective in augmenting the soft tissue around the ridge augmentation.

Eligible Conditions
  • Ridge Deficiency
  • Bone Graft Complications
  • Dental Implants

Timeline

Screening ~ 3 weeks
Treatment ~ Varies
Follow Up ~from baseline to 6 months
This trial's timeline: 3 weeks for screening, Varies for treatment, and from baseline to 6 months for reporting.

Treatment Details

Study Objectives

Outcome measures can provide a clearer picture of what you can expect from a treatment.
Primary outcome measures
Any influence on the soft tissue outcomes
Measure changes in tissue thickness (in mm) between ADM and CTG
quality of soft tissue regenerated

Trial Design

3Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: connective tissue graftExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Connective tissue grafting (CTG) will be placed at the time of lateral ridge augmentation.Following the placement of the bone graft and the membrane, a CTG will be harvested and sutured to the membrane and then the flaps passively sutured on top on the bone and soft tissue graft
Group II: Acellular Dermal MatrixExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Acellular Dermal matrix (ADM) will be placed at the time of lateral ridge augmentation.Following the placement of the bone graft and the membrane, an ADM will be sutured to the membrane and then the flaps passively sutured on top on the bone and soft tissue graft
Group III: No soft tissue graftActive Control1 Intervention
Control group where no soft tissue graft is added to the lateral ridge augmentation.Following the placement of the bone graft and the membrane, the flaps passively sutured on top on the bone. No soft tissue graft will be added.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

Does the trial necessitate a certain age threshold for participants?

"The age parameters for this trial are 18 and 99, as outlined in the inclusion criteria."

Answered by AI

Is it permissible for me to involve myself in this experiment?

"This medical trial seeks to recruit 27 individuals aged between 18 and 99 with alveolar ridge deficiency. Furthermore, participants must be registered UAB dental school patients, English-speaking, healthy enough for the proposed therapy, willing to comply with study instructions and timeline assessment criteria as well as demonstrate an understanding of their informed consent form. Additionally they must have insufficient alveolar width for implant placement (5mm or less) as determined by bone sounding and cone beam computed tomography scans paired with a need for implants in at least one quadrant of the mouth."

Answered by AI

Are there any openings for individuals to join this clinical research endeavor?

"According to the clinicaltrials.gov portal, this trial has ended its recruitment period as of December 7th 2022; however, the original posting dates back to October 3rd 2019. At this time there are 383 alternate studies actively seeking participants."
