Extraction Socket Management Using Connective Tissue Graft Versus Mucograft®

Phase 4
Completed
Conditions
Tooth Lost
Registration Number
NCT02753153
Lead Sponsor
University of Liege
Brief Summary

This study aims at assessing the hard and soft tissues remodelling of the alveolar crest after extraction socket managements in the aesthetic areas:

* 3D radiographic evaluation (CT scan) was performed post extraction and 3 months after at the time of implant placement. (Outcomes 1: Hard tissues analyses )

* Impressions, models and 3D analyses of the treated area allowed studying external soft tissue remodeling at different time points after extraction. (Outcomes 2: Soft tissues analyses )

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Bone remodeling of the buccal and palatal walls using radiographic measurements1year

Bone remodeling of the buccal and palatal walls will be measured in cone beam computerized tomography (CBCT) on the day of extraction, at 3 months after implant placement.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Soft tissue contours measurements by 3D image analyses.6months

Models from the different time points are scanned using 3D-Laser-Scanner and Software (Metalor). 3D reconstructions are matched in order to evaluate 3D and 2D volume changes in extraction sites from baseline to implant placement.
