Evaluating the Clinical Efficacy of Collagen Scaffold (Ossix VOLUMAX) With Piezo-Surgical Decortication in Enhancing Orthodontic Treatment Outcomes: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Russia70 participantsStarted 2024-06-25
Plain-language summary
Recent advances in orthodontic treatment have explored various materials to enhance treatment efficacy, particularly focusing on collagen scaffolds. Collagen, being a primary component of the bone matrix, has garnered attention for its biocompatibility, cell adhesion, and osteoconductivity properties. Studies have shown that collagen scaffolds undergo natural degradation, mimicking biological processes, and play a significant role in tissue engineering (International Journal of Implant Dentistry, 2023). This aligns with the growing interest in minimally invasive methods that accelerate orthodontic treatment and improve tissue regeneration.
In this context, the application of collagen scaffolds, such as Ossix VOLUMAX, in conjunction with piezo-surgical decortication, presents a novel approach. This study aims to build upon the existing knowledge, exploring the efficacy of collagen scaffolds in enhancing orthodontic treatment outcomes, especially in patients with specific dental conditions like a thin gingival phenotype and malocclusion. The study\'s hypothesis is grounded in the promising properties of collagen-based materials in dental and orthodontic applications, as evidenced by recent research in the field.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Gingival Phenotype: Participants must be diagnosed with a thin phenotype of gingiva. This could be measured using a periodontal probe to assess the thickness of the gingiva, typically less than 1 mm is considered thin. In this area may be gingival recession 1,2 Cairo type.
Dental Health: Participants must have a sufficient number of teeth and bone support to undergo orthodontic treatment. A minimum number of teeth or specific dental conditions may be outlined to ensure that the treatment can be applied effectively.
Malocclusion: Participants must be diagnosed with malocclusion, specifically requiring correction in the mandibular incisors. The type and severity of malocclusion can be classified according to a recognized system such as the Angle classification or the Index of Orthodontic Treatment Need (IOTN).
Medical History: Participants must not have any contraindications to dental surgery or orthodontic treatment, such as uncontrolled diabetes, bisphosphonate therapy, or a history of radiation to the jaws.
Consent: Participants must be able to understand the nature of the study and provide informed consent to participate in the trial.
Availability: Participants must be available for the duration of the study and able to attend all scheduled appointments for treatment and follow-up assessments.
Periodontal Health: Participants should have good periodontal health or controlled periodontitis. This may involve a preliminary periodontal assessment, ensuring that there are …
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.
What they're measuring
1
Increase in Gingival Thickness and Alveolar Bone Volume
Timeframe: Baseline measurements will be taken prior to the surgical intervention. Subsequent measurements will be taken at 1 month, 6 months, and 1 year post-surgery. Each measurement will be conducted by blinded examiners to maintain objectivity.
