Preservation of the Alveolar Ridge Using a Cortical Lamina After Tooth Extraction: A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Cortical Lamina Technique and Natural Healing (Control) for Tooth Extraction and 4 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 40 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This randomized controlled clinical trial aims to evaluate the efficacy of placing a cortical lamina between the elevated flap and buccal bone plate following tooth extraction for preserving alveolar ridge dimensions. Forty patients will be randomly assigned to either the test group (lamina placement) or control (no intervention). Changes in ridge width and height will be assessed using CBCT and 3D digital models after six months.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
Surgical placement of a cortical lamina between the buccal bone plate and elevated mucoperiosteal flap immediately after tooth extraction. The lamina serves as a barrier to stabilize the alveolar contour and promote bone preservation. The flap is sutured for non-submerged healing, and postoperative care includes chlorhexidine rinses and analgesics as needed.
After tooth extraction, the site will heal naturally without placement of cortical lamina or any grafting material. The flap is repositioned and sutured for non-submerged healing. Postoperative care is identical to the test group.
