Measurement of the Performance and Safety of RTR+Membrane in Guided Tissue Regeneration (GTR) in Dental Surgical Procedures

Recruiting
Conditions
Guided Bone Regeneration
Interventions
Procedure: Alveolar crest reconstruction
Procedure: Preserving alveolar bone volume after tooth extraction
Procedure: Covering bone defects during immediate implant placement.
Registration Number
NCT06467630
Lead Sponsor
Septodont
Brief Summary

The goal of this observational study is to measure in real practice the performance and safety of RTR+Membrane, a synthetic dental membrane for guided tissue regeneration in periodontal or dental implant surgery. The main question it aims to answer is to measure the post-operative wound healing several months after surgery. Participants will be followed after their dental surgery via clinical examination and radiological and photos images.

Detailed Description

Participants are any adult patients with one of the 3 following dental treatments to be done with RTR+Membrane:

* post-extraction socket preservation,

* alveolar ridge augmentation,

* Guided Tissue Regeneration (GTR) during immediate implant placement.

Since it is a real-life evidence study in current practice, patients will be followed at their surgery and their follow-ups. Below are listed visits and type of data collected.

* V1 - Surgery: Demography, Medical history and concomitant treatments, Clinical/technical information (tooth extraction, surgery, membrane and grafting materials use), Clinical Exam, Photography, X-rays or Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT)

* V2 - Early follow-up (including suture removal, if needed): Clinical Exam, Questionnaire, Photography

* V2bis - Early follow-up: Clinical Exam, Photography

* V3 - Late follow-up: Clinical Exam, Photography, X-rays or CBCT, Questionnaire

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Post-operative wound healing measured by the Early Wound-Healing Indexup to 6 months

For all groups

The Early Wound-Healing Index (EHI) has the following best to worst scoring:

(EHI) 1: complete flap closure without fibrin line in the interproximal area. (EHI) 2: complete flap closure with fine fibrin line in the interproximal area. (EHI) 3: complete flap closure with fibrin clot in the interproximal area. (EHI) 4: incomplete flap closure with partial necrosis of the interproximal tissue. (EHI) 5: incomplete flap closure with complete necrosis of the interproximal tissue.

The EHI is evaluated at the Visit 3 (late post-surgery follow-up) for the primary outcome measure.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Post-operative wound healing measured by Early Wound-Healing Indexup to 14 days

For all groups

The Early Wound-Healing Index (EHI) has the following best to worst scoring:

(EHI) 1: complete flap closure without fibrin line in the interproximal area. (EHI) 2: complete flap closure with fine fibrin line in the interproximal area. (EHI) 3: complete flap closure with fibrin clot in the interproximal area. (EHI) 4: incomplete flap closure with partial necrosis of the interproximal tissue. (EHI) 5: incomplete flap closure with complete necrosis of the interproximal tissue.

The EHI is evaluated at the Visit 2 for this secondary outcome measure.

Post-operative clinical examup to 6 months

For all groups

This is a descriptive secondary outcome measured by the investigator via the reporting of the presence or the absence of:

* pain,

* discomfort,

* inflammation,

* hematoma, redness,

* swelling/suppuration,

* membrane exposure,

* dehiscence.

The evaluation is done at visit 2, visit 2Bis, and visit 3.

Post-operative wound healing measured by Early Wound Healing Scoreup to 14 days

For all groups

The Early Wound Healing Score is from 0 (worse) to 10 (best).

The EHS is evaluated at the Visit 2 for this secondary outcome measure.

Oral Health-Related Quality of Life measured by the Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-5 items)up to 6 months

For all groups

The 5 items of OHIP are: Difficulty chewing any foods; Painful aching in the mouth; Felt uncomfortable about the appearance of teeth; Less flavor in the food; and, Difficulty doing the usual jobs.

Score is from 0 (best) to 20 (worse). The evaluation is done at visit 2 and visit 3.

Radiological measurements on CBCTup to 6 months

Only for Post-extraction socket preservation sub-group \& for Alveolar ridge augmentation sub-group

The treatment efficacy is measured via the following measures on CBCT:

A. Osseous changes in mesiodistal width of the alveolar ridge

B. Osseous changes in height of the alveolar ridge

C. Osseous changes in vestibulolingual dimension of the alveolar ridge.

These changes are evaluated from Baseline to Visit 3.

Radiological measurements on retro-alveolar radiosup to 4 months

Only for Guided Tissue Regeneration (GTR) during immediate implant placement subgroup.

The treatment efficacy is measured via the following measures:

A. Distal vertical situation of the bone plateau compared to the implant by retroalveolar radiography

B. Mesial vertical situation of the bone plateau compared to the implant by retroalveolar radiography

C. Insertion Torque Value (Ncm)

These changes are evaluated from Baseline to Visit 3.

Number of adverse device effects (at least possibly) related to study deviceup to 6 months

For all groups
