Single Tooth Extraction in Damaged Alveoli and Implant Site Development:TootToo

160 participantsStarted 2015-06

Plain-language summary

It is unclear what is the best approach to implant site development after tooth extraction when the pathology leading to extraction has damaged the alveolus. The main objective of this study is to assess if socket preservation and/or reconstruction surgery provides a clinical benefit in terms of ability to place an implant in a prosthetically guided position in such clinical conditions. The PICO question therefore is: In patients requiring single tooth extraction what is the benefit of socket preservation/reconstruction surgery with respect to spontaneous healing in terms of feasibility and ease of implant surgery?

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.

Inclusion Criteria: * Systemically healthy. No contraindications to elective oral surgery * All pathologies requiring single tooth extraction with adjacent teeth (or implant) with the presence of at least one third of the alveolus. * Evidence of subject ability to achieve good oral hygiene and control gingivitis in the whole of the dentition (FMPS\<25% and FMBS\<25%) * Ability to understand study procedures and to comply with them for the entire length of the study. Ability and willingness to give informed consent. Exclusion Criteria: * Presence of frank purulence or acute abscess at the time of extraction * Presence of bone resorption of one or more walls of the alveolus extending to the apical third of the socket * Self reported current smoking exceeding 20 cigarettes/day or pipe or cigar smoking * Presence of medical contraindications to elective surgery

Questions worth asking your doctor

Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.

1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.

Questions for the trial coordinator

The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.

1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?

A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
