Active clinical trials for "Alveolar Bone Loss"

This study was conducted to clinically and radiographically evaluate locator RTx attachments for two implant-supported mandibular overdenture using two loading protocols

The study is a two-arm, parallel-design, randomized, prospective clinical trial designed to examine histologic wound healing following ridge preservation using bovine xenograft and porcine xenograft materials.This protocol involves procedures that are standard care. All materials are FDA-approved materials being used in an FDA-approved manner. The test group subjects will have extraction sockets grafted with porcine xenograft (Zcore). This test group will be compared to an active control group using bovine xenograft (Bio-Oss). The null hypothesis is that there will be no significant difference in formation of new vital bone between treatment groups (primary outcome). Each subjects will have a non-molar tooth extracted and the socket grafted with either test or control graft material. At the time of dental implant placement 18-20 weeks after tooth extraction a small core biopsy specimen will be removed from the implant site. The core biopsy will then be evaluated for the primary histologic outcome of % vital bone formation and secondary histologic outcome of % residual graft material.

The main objective of this prospective, controlled, and randomized clinical study is to evaluate the peri-implant bone loss of immediately loaded versus conventionally loaded implants with a single prosthesis. A split-mouth experimental design will be used, and the success rate of the installed implants will be determined. Twelve selected patients (corresponding to a minimum of 24 surgical implant sites) will receive endosseous Ti dental implants. The protocol for preparing the surgical sites will be based on the manufacturer's recommendations and bone density. Patients with an initial torque less than 30 N·cm and an implant stability quotient (ISQ) less than 60 will be excluded from the research. Envelopes, indicating which site is the test site, will be opened after the implants are installed. Transfer impressions of the implants receiving immediate loading will be produced so that temporary crowns can be made. Temporary crowns will be installed a maximum of 24 hours after the surgery, by using the torque recommended by the manufacturer. Appropriate occlusal adjustment will be made to ensure minimal contact at maximum intercuspation and absence of contacts during protrusive and lateral excursive movements of the jaw. At baseline (time of implant installation) and 3, 6, 9, and 12 months after implant installation, the following aspects will be evaluated: the initial torque at the moment of implant insertion, Osstell ISQ, pain in the implant when subjected to vertical and horizontal forces, clinical mobility of the implant, crestal bone loss around the implant (as determined by x-ray evaluation), probing depth around the implant, and periodontal pain.

GUIDOR Growth Factor Enchanted Bone Graft Substitute (GFeBGS) when used in periodontal surgery will shown greater gum and bone regeneration when compare to bone graft substitute alone. Also, to find the optimal dose.

The purpose of this research is to determine if a subject's own bone marrow tissue can help regenerate bone in the area of his/her jaw where a tooth has been removed using Tissue Repair Cell (TRC) Therapy.

Straumann Bone Ceramic (SBC) and BioOss will be used as bone grafting materials when there is a need for bone augmentation in the posterior upper jaw. 9 months later the bone formation is evaluated. The patients are followed for 3 years.The study hypothesis is that the SBC is not worse than BioOss.

The aim of this study was to compare and measure the amount of bone density and ridge width gained with motor driven expanders and densifying burs with simultaneous dental implant placement.

The purpose was to evaluate histomorphometrically the early healing at implants installed in sites prepared with either a sonic device or conventional drills.

Immediate implant placement has proven to be a successful treatment procedure that is preferred by patients because of being less traumatic, more time-efficient. Nowadays, the main goal of a successful immediate implant treatment has ceased to be gaining stability and osseointegration, but achieving long-term dimensional stability has become the optimal challenge. Various soft tissue and hard tissue augmentation techniques have been investigated in order to maintain the ridge dimensions following extraction and immediate implant placement.

The substitution of a tooth with a fixture often induces undesired morphological changes, resulting in a deterioration of the aesthetic appearance. The purpose of this study is to compare the soft tissue behavior next to two different implant connections: 5° (group 1) and 35° hexed (group 2), conical, internal with switching platform design after 12 months of functional provisionalization
