Szczegółowy opis
Following tooth extraction, dimensional changes of the alveolar ridge and loss of interproximal soft tissue height may compromise esthetic and prosthetic outcomes. Alveolar ridge preservation attenuates hard tissue resorption but provides limited active support for the overlying soft tissues during healing. An ovate pontic provisional restoration may provide active soft tissue support and thereby help preserve interproximal soft tissue height. To date, no randomized controlled trial has compared a fixed ovate pontic provisional restoration with a removable non-contact Essix provisional restoration in the context of alveolar ridge preservation.
This is a single-center, open-label, confirmatory, randomized controlled trial with two parallel groups and 1:1 allocation. An adaptive design with an internal pilot phase (n=20) and blinded sample size re-estimation based on the residual variance of the primary endpoint is applied, up to a predefined maximum of 40 participants.
All participants undergo minimally traumatic, flapless single non-molar tooth extraction and alveolar ridge preservation with Bio-Oss Collagen. Test group: socket sealing by a fixed, 3D-printed ovate pontic provisional restoration providing active soft tissue support. Control group: socket sealing with Mucograft Seal plus a removable Essix-type provisional restoration positioned without intentional soft tissue contact.
Follow-up visits are performed at 2 weeks, 4 weeks, and 5 months. At baseline (T0) and at 5 months, intraoral surface scans, clinical photographs, cone-beam computed tomography, and patient-reported outcomes are collected. The between-group treatment effect on the primary endpoint is estimated using ANCOVA with the 5-month value as dependent variable, treatment group as fixed factor, and the baseline value as covariate; jaw is included as an additional between-subject factor.

Eksperymentalny: Fixed ovate pontic provisional
Following minimally traumatic, flapless tooth extraction, the alveolar socket is grafted with Bio-Oss Collagen.
Socket sealing is achieved by a fixed, 3D-printed provisional restoration incorporating an ovate pontic design that extends approximately 2 mm apical to the mucosal margin, providing active soft tissue support to maintain interproximal papilla height and facial soft tissue contour during healing.
The provisional is retained by adhesive bonding or temporary cementation on the adjacent teeth.
No additional collagen matrix or sutures are placed.
|
Deproteinized bovine bone mineral with 10% collagen (Geistlich Pharma AG, Wolhusen, Switzerland).
Used for alveolar ridge preservation by socket grafting after tooth extraction.
CE-marked and used within the approved indication.
Inne nazwy:
Patient-specific 3D-printed provisional restoration (PMMA or comparable clinically approved dental provisional material) incorporating an ovate pontic design.
Retained by adhesive bonding or temporary cementation on the adjacent teeth.
The convex, highly polished pontic extends approximately 2 mm apical to the mucosal margin and above the level of the bone graft, providing active soft tissue support.
|
|
Aktywny komparator: Removable Essix provisional with collagen matrix seal
Following minimally traumatic, flapless tooth extraction, the alveolar socket is grafted with Bio-Oss Collagen.
The socket is sealed with a porcine-derived collagen matrix (Mucograft Seal) secured with four to six single interrupted sutures, without primary closure.
A removable Essix-type provisional restoration with an integrated artificial tooth is delivered; the pontic is positioned above the mucosal level without intentional soft tissue contact.

Interproximal soft tissue height at 5 months
Ramy czasowe: Baseline (T0) and 5 months after tooth extraction
|
Interproximal soft tissue height at 5 months, calculated per participant as the mean of the mesial and distal measurements and expressed in millimeters.
Measurements are obtained by digital superimposition of baseline and 5-month intraoral surface scans (Geomagic Control X, 3D Systems) by an independent, calibrated examiner.
The between-group treatment effect is estimated using ANCOVA with the 5-month value as the dependent variable, treatment group as a fixed factor, baseline value as a covariate, and jaw as an additional between-subject factor.
