Comparing collagen sponge and membrane for preserving tooth sockets in gum disease patients

Efficacy of Collagen Sponge Versus Collagen Membrane in Combination With Collagenated Bovine Bone Mineral on Ridge Preservation of Compromised Extraction Sockets in Periodontitis Patients: a Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial

Not applicable Interventional The Dental Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine · NCT05188196

This study is testing whether a collagen sponge or a collagen membrane helps people with gum disease keep their jawbone shape after having their molars removed.

What this trial studies

This study evaluates the effectiveness of two different materials, collagen sponge and collagen membrane, used alongside collagenated bovine bone mineral for preserving the ridge of the jawbone after the extraction of periodontally compromised molars. Patients will be randomly assigned to receive either the collagen sponge or collagen membrane treatment, and their clinical and radiographic outcomes will be assessed before surgery and six months postoperatively. Key measurements will include changes in ridge width, height, keratinized tissue, and mucosal thickness.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 and older who require molar extraction due to periodontal disease and plan for future dental implants.

Not a fit: Patients with untreated periodontal disease, severe systemic conditions, or those who smoke may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could improve outcomes for patients undergoing tooth extraction due to periodontal disease by enhancing ridge preservation and facilitating future dental implants.

How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown promising results with similar approaches in ridge preservation, indicating potential for success in this study.
