Not Applicable
Active, not recruiting
Conditions
Soft Tissue Defect
Registration Number
NCT04703738
Lead Sponsor

Brief Summary

This double blind, randomized, parallel study evaluates the non-inferiority of Geistlich Fibro-Gide® in comparison to connective tissue graft for soft tissue volume augmentation around dental implants

Detailed Description

A total sample size of 60 subjects (n=60) will be evaluated at 5 centers, by 6 Investigators with approximately 10-subjects per Investigator. Power analysis based on 80% power, past Thoma, Zeltner and González-Martin studies 1,2,3 and a one-sided confidence interval of 0.025, indicates that with a volume change standard deviation between 0.5 and 0.7 mm, 17-31 subjects are required per group (test and control), so 50-60 subjects are an acceptable estimate, with a preference for 60, given potential loss to long-term follow-up.

Inclusion Criteria
  • Subjects requiring soft tissue augmentation around single implants, i.e., thin biotype with potential for
  • All implants must be at least 6 months post bone graft/implant placement
  • have at least 1 mm of keratinized tissue width (KTw),
  • have final restoration permanently in place for at least 4-weeks and
  • subject have no recession on the implant body
  • Subjects who, can achieve good oral hygiene (80% plaque free surfaces on the implant and maintain 80% plaque free surfaces on teeth adjacent to treatment sites).
Exclusion Criteria
  • participation within the last six months in other interventional studies.
  • any systemic condition that could influence healing, such as uncontrolled diabetes mellitus - confirmed by A1C score ≥7% - cancer, HIV, oral muco- cutaneous conditions and drug induced gingival enlargement.
  • taking medications that compromise wound healing, such as chronic steroid use - either inhaler or systemic, calcium channel blockers with secondary hyperplastic tissue reactions, anti-seizure medications, IV bisphosphates for bone metabolic diseases, radiation or other immuno-suppressive therapy.
  • acute infectious lesions in the areas intended for surgery.
  • History within the last 6 months of weekly or more frequent use of nicotine products
  • Female subjects who are pregnant or lactating, or sexually active female subjects who are of childbearing potential and who are not using hormonal or barrier methods of birth control
  • Untreated, moderate to severe periodontal disease.
