1 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
This randomized clinical trial will involve at least 25 patients who have selected to receive a dental implant to replace a missing tooth. One group will receive the test treatment of a bone graft and a dissolvable membrane at the outer surface of the dental, while the control group will not receive the bone graft and membrane adjacent to the implant. The following will be measured: bone thickness and height adjacent to implant, inflammation of gum tissue, recession of gum tissue, bleeding, pocket depth, and implant success. Patients will be followed for 1 year, including evaluation time points at 2 weeks, 1 month, 3 and 6 months, and 1 year. Statistical analysis of the data will be conducted. The hypothesis is that there is no difference with regard to bone thickness, bone height, pocket depth, bleeding, and implant success rate for grafted implant sites compared to non-grafted implant sites.
