Official title
Evaluation of Socket Seal Using Flowable Composite Above Xenograft Compared to Dense Polytetrafluoroethylene (d-PTFE) Membrane in Ridge Preservation Procedures: a Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial
Overview
The aim of the current study is to compare the effect socket sealing with flowable resin composite compared to dense polytetrafluoroethylene membrane after filling the extraction site with xenograft particles in terms of soft and hard tissue changes, procedural time, post operative pain, patients' satisfaction, and cost effectiveness.
Detailed description
Implant placement has become the gold standard for replacing missing teeth. One of the biggest challenges present when placing implants is the lack of sufficient bone dimensions. This deficiency may be a common finding due to the process of post extraction remodeling where both bone height and width are reduced, complicating implant placement. As a result, several procedures have been suggested to address this issue. Socket preservation is one of the most implemented procedures used today to limit the amount of bone lost during post extraction remodeling. The current study was designed to compare the effectiveness of using flowable composite resin for socket sealing as an alternative to using d-PTFE membranes, bypassing the added time, cost and trauma needed for tunnel preparation and membrane tucking.
Interventions
- Procedure Socket preservation using xenograft and composite plug
Extraction of hopeless teeth will be followed by grafting the socket with xenograft and coverage with injected flowable composite plug which will then be stabilized using 5.0 polypropylene suture material with a figure of eight suture. - Procedure Socket preservation using xenograft and intentionally exposed d-PTFE
Extraction of hopeless teeth will be followed by grafting the socket with xenograft and coverage with d-PTFE membrane which will the be left exposed intentionally. This will be followed by securing the membrane using 5.0 polypropylene suture material with a figure of eight suture.
Primary outcome measures
