Alveolar Ridge Preservation

The goal of this randomized clinical trial is to assess whether BCP (Biphasic Calcium Phosphate) improves alveolar ridge preservation (ARP) in patients who need tooth extraction. The main question it aims to answer is whether using BCP for alveolar ridge preservation has a positive effect on bone volume compared with natural healing. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does BCP improve ridge preservation compared with natural healing? Researchers will compare BCP grafted sockets to natural healing sockets to see if BCP better preserves ridge volume. Participants will: Have a tooth indicated for extraction. Be assigned to either BCP or natural healing. Undergo CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography) and intra-oral scanning after extraction and after six months of healing to measure horizontal and vertical resorption and bone density.

After a tooth is taken out, the empty socket needs to heal. Sometimes unhealthy soft tissue (called granulation tissue) is left behind and can slow down healing. This study compares two ways to clean the socket: 1. Manual method: a hand instrument (curette) 2. Rotary method: a small rotating dental bur Both methods are standard in dental practice. The study will see which method is faster, causes less pain, and leads to better bone healing. After cleaning, all patients will receive a routine bone graft to protect the jawbone for a possible future dental implant. The study will measure: * How long (in seconds) it takes to clean the socket * Whether the socket is completely clean, checked with a harmless blue stain (Toluidine Blue) * Changes in the bone at 3 and 6 months, measured by a special three-dimensional X-ray (cone-beam computed tomography, CBCT) * Pain and swelling reported by patients in the first week after the procedure * Any side effects or healing problems Patients are randomly assigned to one of the two cleaning methods (like flipping a coin). The surgeon knows which method is used, but the person analyzing the X-rays does not, to keep the results fair. The study will include 58-60 adult patients who need a tooth removed because of a long-term infection at the root. It is being conducted at the College of Dentistry, Imam Abdulrahman Bin Faisal University, Dammam, Saudi Arabia.

This research aims to investigate the influence of alveolar ridge preservation, after extraction of maxillary posterior teeth, on the potential need of sinus floor augmentation procedures (that include lateral or crestal sinus augmentations). From peri-apical radiographs, maxillary posterior teeth will be divided into 4 groups according to the relationship of their apexes with the sinus. Then, the patients will be divided into 2 sub-groups: unassisted socket healing (only extraction) and ARP group (extraction + ARP) and their CBCT scans before implant placement will be collected. The CBCT scans should be at least 4 months post-extraction and ARP. Depending on the residual bone height, patients will be divided into 3 categories, according to the ABC classification: 1. In need of lateral sinus floor augmentation 2. In need of crestal sinus floor augmentation 3. No need for sinus floor augmentation, therefore, implant placement. These divisions will be conducted, according to: \- The residual bone height (RBH) which is the height in mm from the alveolar ridge crest to the lowest point of the maxillary sinus floor. The results of the proposed hypothesis are verified and interpreted after statistical analysis.

Dental implants are considered a predictable rehabilitative option following tooth extraction or in cases of missing teeth. In some situations, the inevitable alveolar ridge resorption that occurs after extraction may make the placement of standard-diameter (\>3.5 mm) or standard-length implants difficult or even impossible without advanced bone augmentation procedures. To counteract post-extraction volumetric bone contraction, alveolar ridge preservation can be performed, consisting of placing a bone graft within the socket walls immediately after tooth extraction. Although this procedure cannot completely prevent dimensional changes, it has been shown to significantly reduce both horizontal and vertical ridge resorption, as reported in the scientific literature. However, there is a lack of clinical and radiographic studies evaluating the outcomes of implant rehabilitation following alveolar ridge preservation with standard-dimension implants in a hospital-based setting.

This is a prospective, randomized controlled pilot clinical trial evaluating the efficacy of a human placental-derived amnion chorion membrane (Biotivity™ A/C Plus Membrane) versus a conventional collagen membrane in alveolar ridge preservation (ARP) following atraumatic extraction of single posterior teeth. A total of 12 subjects will be enrolled at the University of Maryland School of Dentistry. The study aims to assess both soft tissue wound healing and hard/soft tissue dimensional changes over a 5-month period prior to dental implant placement. Throughout the approximately 6-month study duration, participants will undergo oral exams, x-rays, surgical procedures, and follow-up visits. All participants will undergo routine tooth extraction, bone graft material and barrier placement, and dental implant placement. Participation in the study is voluntary, and the alternative is to continue routine dental care. Risks include minor discomfort from procedures such as tooth extraction and implant placement. The major benefit of participation in the study is the preservation of jaw dimensions following extraction, which will simplify the placement of a dental implant.

This clinical study aims to evaluate the clinical and radiographic outcomes of delayed dental implant placement following socket preservation using an injectable alloplastic bone graft material. The study will include patients who require tooth extraction and are candidates for implant placement. After tooth extraction, the socket will be preserved using the bone graft material, and dental implants will be placed after a healing period. Clinical and radiographic assessments will be performed to evaluate bone quality, bone height, and implant stability. The goal of this study is to determine the effectiveness of injectable alloplastic bone grafts in maintaining the alveolar ridge and improving the success of delayed implant placement.

This clinical investigation aims to assess how two different allogeneic dentin graft materials - one de-mineralized and the other mineralized - influence bone preservation following extraction of a single upper posterior tooth. A total of 45 patients will be randomly allocated into three equal groups: a socket-only spontaneous healing group (control), a de-mineralized dentin graft group, and a mineralized dentin graft group. Over a six-month period after extraction, measurements will be taken using CBCT to monitor changes in ridge width, height, and bone density. Secondary outcomes include patient-reported pain, postoperative swelling, satisfaction levels, width of keratinized tissue, and histomorphometric data from biopsy samples at implant placement. Findings from this trial may support evidence-based decisions in alveolar ridge preservation and help clinicians choose the most predictable grafting strategy before implant placement.

When a tooth is removed, the bone around it (called the alveolar ridge) naturally shrinks. This study compares two bone grafting materials to find out which one better preserves bone after molar extraction: Demineralized Dentin Matrix (DDM): A material made from the patient's own extracted tooth, treated to remove minerals while keeping bone-forming proteins. Mineralized Plasmatic Matrix (MPM): A mixture of a standard bone substitute and platelet-rich plasma from the patient's blood.

The purpose of the study is to compare a new grafting material for alveolar ridge preservation to a commonly used and well studied material. Alveolar ridge dimensions as well as histology will be compared.

Rationale: To determine the effect of alveolar ridge preservation (ARP) versus spontaneous healing (SH) in large buccal bone defects in the posterior mandible. Objective: To evaluate whether ARP using a xenograft (XG) (Cerabone plus) or an allograft (AG) (Maxgraft granules) covered by a membrane (Jason membrane) reduces the need for additional bone augmentation either prior to or during implant placement in the posterior mandible compared to spontaneous healing Study design: Prospective randomized clinical study with 10-year follow-up. Study population: Inclusion criteria: patients are 18 years or older and in need for extraction of a (pre)molar in the posterior mandible with at least one adjacent tooth and a buccal bone defect of \>50%. Exclusion criteria: the presence of active periodontal disease, uncontrolled diabetes mellitus, a history of or current use of chemotherapy or radiation in the head and neck area, history of or current use of medication related to osteonecrosis of the jaw, smoking (\> 5 cigarettes a day, disability (physical and/or mental), making the patient unable to maintain basic oral health or follow the study protocol, pregnancy (in case of pregnancy, the treatment is postponed until after the delivery). Intervention (if applicable): Atraumatic extraction of a (pre)molar in the posterior mandible will be performed. Patients will then be included based on the dimensions of the buccal bone defect (buccal bone defect of \>50%). 66 patients will be randomly divided in either the XG group, the AG group or the SH group (control). In the ARP groups (XG and AG), following tooth extraction, ARP will be performed using either a XG (Cerabone plus) or an AG (Maxgraft granules), both covered by a membrane (Jason membrane). In the control group, the alveolus will be left for spontaneous healing, following tooth extraction. After 4-6 months, a cone bean computed tomography (CBCT) scan will be performed to determine the possibility of implant placement with or without additional augmentation. Implant placement will be performed in all groups with or without guided bone regeneration (GBR). Main study parameters/endpoints: Frequency of additional augmentation at implant placement.

This study will be held to overcome the previous limitations related to bone loss after teeth extraction by taking advantages from both Autogenous tooth graft and Simvastatin which will offer a promising synergistic approach for reducing alveolar ridge resorption, enhance bone regeneration and ensuring implant site development for future implant placement. This combination will address the gap in knowledge and offering a novel approach in alveolar ridge preservation. The Autogenous tooth graft will provide a scaffold and growth factor source for bone regeneration while Simvastatin will promotes osteogensis and angiogensis at graft site. So The goal of the present trial aims to evaluate the first-time application of Autogenous tooth graft from extracted tooth combined with Simvastatin with a ratio 1:1(test group) versus Autogenous tooth graft alone (control group) at an extraction socket of non molar single rooted teeth for alveolar ridge preservation and implant site development prior to implant placement. The participants will be divided into two groups: Intervention Group will receive Autogenous tooth graft combine with Simvastatin with a ratio 1:1 Control Group will receive Autogenous tooth graft. with follow up period 4 months.

For the first time, allografts from human-extracted teeth will be prepared and evaluated in a prospective clinical trial to assess their efficacy for alveolar ridge preservation. The reconstruction and preservation of the alveolar ridge after tooth extraction are essential for future prosthetic rehabilitation. Autogenous bone grafts, while effective, are limited by donor site morbidity and insufficient graft quantity. Allogenic dentin grafts from healthy human donors present a scalable solution. This study aims to evaluate the biocompatibility and effectiveness of two types of allogenic dentin grafts-demineralized dentin allografts (DDA) and whole tooth allografts (WTA)-for alveolar ridge preservation, contributing to innovative, sustainable dental practices.

Place a collagen plug (collagen plug) in the lower 2/3 to 1/2 of your tooth extraction site while giving you Vit. The extracted teeth are made into autogenous tooth root thin slices and covered in your tooth extraction cavity, and the skin flap raised by your flap surgery is used to cover the autologous tooth root cover to help the autologous tooth roots stabilize and heal the wound, which is different from traditional surgery. The difference in treatment lies in the local use of autogenous tooth root thin slices and Vit.D3. Collagen plug and Vit.D3 are already qualified medical materials and drugs on the market. However, there is no precedent for making thin autologous tooth root slices. will be a trial of a new medical technology that has not yet been used
