Comparison of Dehydrated Human Amnion-Chorion and Type 1 Bovine Collagen Membranes for Guided Bone Regeneration

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Ridge Deficiency
Interventions
Procedure: Guided Bone Regeneration (GBR)
Registration Number
NCT03290638
Lead Sponsor
Samer Faraj
Brief Summary

The objective of this randomized clinical study was to evaluate the use of dehydrated human amnion-chorion membrane as an exposed barrier for guided bone regeneration (GBR) after tooth extraction and to determine whether intentional exposure of this membrane to the oral environment compromises ridge dimensions and bone vitality for implant placement.

Detailed Description

Forty-three patients requiring extraction of at least one tooth and delayed implant placement were randomly assigned to either an experimental or a control group. For both groups, demineralized freeze-dried bone allograft was used to graft the socket. For the control group, Type I bovine collagen was used as a membrane; for the experimental group, human amnion-chorion membrane was used. For both groups, the barrier membranes were left exposed, and no primary closure was achieved. Patients returned for implant placement after a mean healing period of 19.5 weeks, at which time a core bone biopsy specimen 2 mm in diameter was obtained for histomorphometric analyses. Clinical ridge dimensions were measured at the times of extraction and implant placement.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Alveolar Ridge Dimensional ChangesAlveolar Ridge Dimensional Changes were taken at the extraction time and at the time of implant placement. Mean = 19.5 weeks

Clinical ridge height changes were taken with a thermoplastic triad stent, and a University of North Carolina (UNC) 15 periodontal probe. Ridge width changes measurements were taken with a metal bone caliper. Alveolar ridge dimensional changes in height and width were measured at the times of extraction and at the time of implant placement.

Alveolar Ridge Bone VitalityMean= 19.5 weeks after tooth extraction and bone grafting

a core bone biopsy specimen 2 mm in diameter was obtained from the center of the root at the time of implant placement for histomorphometric analyses

Ridge Healing EvaluationTwo weeks form the time of the extraction

Pictures of the healing ridges were taken using clinical macro lens photography
