Edentulous Sites Augmented With Collagen Matrix or CTG

Edentulous Alveolar Ridge

Ridge deformities can complicate prosthetic rehabilitation, especially in situations where optimal esthetic outcomes are desired. Simpler, less invasive and predictable treatments are needed in order to obtain soft tissue augmentation at edentulous ridges. Autogenous subepithelial connective tissue graft (SCTG) has always been regarded as the treatment of choice, but heterologous volume stable collagen matrix (VCMX) is emerging as a reliable alternative. The principal aim of the present RCT will be to compare the volumetric buccal soft tissue changes at edentulous areas after augmentation procedure using VCMX or SCTG. Parameters related to periodontal health at adjacent teeth and patient reported outcomes (PROMs) will be also assessed as secondary outcomes. Proving the non- inferiority of VCMX compared to SCTG would provide the specialists and general clinicians with an easier, less invasive and better tolerated technique for soft tissue augmentation at edentulous ridges and for improving aesthetic and cleansability of the prosthetic rehabilitation.

Dimensional Changes in Single Crowns Supported by Short Transmucosal Implants With Diverging or...

Edentulous Alveolar Ridge

The goal of the present randomized clinical trial is to assess the long-term osseous and peri-implant soft tissue changes as well as the success rate of short implants (6 mm) with a converging collar with micro threads or a diverging polished collar placed in the esthetic zone of the maxilla on partially edentulous patients. The main questions it aims to answer are: what are the long-term bone and soft tissue changes around implants with a converging collar with micro threads compared to a diverging polished collar placed in the esthetic zone of the maxilla? What is the success rate of implants with a converging collar with micro threads compared to a diverging polished collar placed in the esthetic zone of the maxilla? Dental implants with a converging collar with micro threads or a diverging polished collar will be placed in the esthetic zone of the maxilla of the included participants and the measurements regarding the bone and soft tissue level will be compared.

Implant Stability in Autogenous Mineralized and Demineralized Dentin Grafts

Edentulous Alveolar Ridge

The bone grafting materials currently used in dentistry are autografts, allografts, xenografts, and alloplastic grafts. Among these different types of bone graft materials, autografts are considered to have the most predictable results due to their properties of osteogenesis, osteoinduction, and osteoconduction. However, bone autografts are rarely used due to the high morbidity associated with harvesting the bone graft from the patient with a second surgical site. Because of the increased risk to the patient with autogenous bone grafts, the current standard of care is an allograft, which is a bone graft harvested from cadaver sources such as Freeze-Dried Bone Allograft (FDBA). While allografts can only possess the qualities of osteoinduction and osteoconduction, they also have dramatically less morbidity due to the lack of a second surgical site. Our null hypothesis states that: Experimental groups (mineralized, and partially demineralized dentin grafts) do not show positive changes in implant stability, survival, failure rate, probing pocket depth, and interproximal crestal bone level changes when compared to FDBA Our alternative hypothesis states that: Experimental groups (mineralized, and partially demineralized dentin grafts) show similar or better results in terms of implant stability, survival, failure rate, probing pocket depth, and interproximal crestal bone level changes when compared to FDBA.

Two-piece Zirconia Implants With Two Various Platforms

Edentulous Alveolar Ridge

24 patients with missing premolar teeth and healed sockets will be recruited. They will be randomized into two groups to supplied with tissue-level (n=12) or bone-level (n=12) 10-mm long 4-mm wide zirconia implants. Primary and secondary stabilities will be measured with International Stability Quotient (ISQ) device. After 3 months, ceramic crowns will be supplied. Implant survival rates and parameters in relation to periimplant soft-tissues and bone health and anatomy will be recorded and evaluated after 1, 3 and 5 years.

Use of Two Dissolvable Therapeutics Under Removable Partial Dentures

Edentulous JawEdentulous Mouth

Older removable denture wearing adults suffer from a complex set of oral health challenges, with relatively few solutions identified at this time. This is substantiated by statistics concerning the geriatric population on the correlation of poor oral health and the degradation of an individual's overall quality of life. The most recent National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey data found that 1 in 8 U.S. adults over the age of 65 are completely edentulous. A shift from complete edentulism to partial edentulism was also seen in this survey data, as the average individual over 65 had only 21 teeth remaining. Thus, partial edentulism remains a significant burden on seniors as well. Clearly, there exists both a great need and desire for improved implementation of proven oral-health strategies among this population, as well as the development of new preventive interventions and minimally invasive treatment strategies beyond traditional denture adhesive products. This proposed clinical trial intends to investigate two such potential treatment aids. In follow-up from our recent pilot study investigating MI Paste's application on the intaglio of complete dentures, in which our current findings have shown that the use of MI Paste can predictably increase the buffering capacity of a patient's saliva, our current proposal targets to further increase the study's sample size to improve the statistical power regarding subjective patient reports. The primary aims of this proposed study are to collect further data on how MI Paste affects patients' subjective evaluations of the comfort and retention of their denture, as well as dry mouth symptoms in patients reporting xerostomia. Furthermore, this study will include a second therapeutic intervention, Biotene Dry Mouth Gel (OTC), which will provide an additional contrast variable involving patient preferences regarding therapeutics under their removable prostheses. We hypothesize that the use of both therapeutics underneath removable dentures will provide added retention and stability to the prosthesis on patient reports, further coinciding with improved evaluations of comfort and function. Additionally, we hypothesize that the subjective improvements in patients self-reporting xerostomia will be of a statistically greater magnitude than those noticed by patients with normal salivary function, as xerostomia has been associated with increased denture discomfort in past literature.
