Comparing Biodentin and Xeno Graft for Preserving Tooth Sockets

Histomorphometric and Radiographic Assessment of Bone After Socket Preservation Using Biodentin Versus Xeno Graft for Socket Preservation of Single Rooted Mandibular Teeth: Randomized Clinical Trial

Phase 4 Interventional Cairo University · NCT06695208

This study is testing whether Biodentin or Xeno Graft works better for keeping the bone healthy after a single-rooted tooth is removed.

What this trial studies

This clinical trial investigates the effectiveness of two materials, Biodentin and Xeno Graft, for socket preservation following the extraction of single-rooted mandibular teeth. After tooth extraction, the socket will be filled with either Biodentin or Xeno Graft, and the area will be closed with gel foam and sutures. Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) scans will be performed at baseline and after six months to measure changes in bone width, followed by a core biopsy and implant placement. The study aims to determine which material provides better outcomes for bone preservation.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are healthy adults aged 25 to 50 with a badly decayed tooth requiring extraction and good oral hygiene.

Not a fit: Patients with poor oral hygiene, smokers, or those with medical conditions that contraindicate surgical procedures may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could improve the outcomes of dental implant procedures by identifying the more effective material for socket preservation.

How similar studies have performed: Previous studies have explored socket preservation techniques, but the specific comparison of Biodentin and Xeno Graft is relatively novel.
