Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Tooth Decay
Registration Number
NCT04350853
Lead Sponsor
Universitat Internacional de Catalunya
Brief Summary

This is a prospective study in which surgical extrusion of single-rooted teeth is carried out by the same operator in 15 consecutive patients.

Main objective: to evaluate the soft tissue rebound of the teeth 1 year after the surgery.

Null hypothesis (H0): surgical extrusion is not a predictable treatment for the restoration of single rooted teeth.

NameTimeMethod
Patient's response to pain or discomfort at palpation test12 months after the surgical extrusion

Patient's response to pain or discomfort at percussion test12 months after the surgical extrusion

Patient's response measured by yes/no

Tooth mobility (Miller classification)12 months after the surgical extrusion

mm

Periapical lesion occurrence12 months after the surgical extrusion

Assessed as the presence or not of a radiolucency at periapical radiograph (yes/no)

Root resorption occurrence12 months after the surgical extrusion

Assessed as the presence or not of an inflammatory root resorption and a replacement root resorption at periapical radiograph

Soft tissue rebound12 months after the surgical extrusion

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Gum bleeding on periodontal probing (yes/no)12 months after the surgical extrusion

Visual

Crown-root ratio12 months after the surgical extrusion

mm

Tooth plaque quantity12 months after the surgical extrusion

Measured visually according to Turesky plaque index, in which the best score is 0 (no plaque) and the worst score is 5 (plaque covering 2/3 or more the crown of the tooth).

Interproximal papillae height12 months after the surgical extrusion

Measured visually according to Jemt's index, in which the best score is 3 (interproximal space completely occupied) and the worst score is 0 (absent interproximal papilla).

Marginal bone loss12 months after the surgical extrusion

mm

Periodontal probing12 months after the surgical extrusion

mm

Patient's satisfaction12 months after the surgical extrusion

Measured visually using a visual analogue scale, in which the best score is 0 (highest level of patient's satisfaction) and the worst score is 10 (lowest level of patient's satisfaction).
