NCT06867068
The purpose of this pilot study was to compare two commonly employed intravenous drug combinations; I) nitrous oxide, midazolam, fentanyl, and ketamine and II) the same combination with substitution of propofol for ketamine, for use during wisdom teeth extraction. Measures of recovery, amnesia testing 20 minutes after induction and after completion of recovery tests, patient satisfaction, and surgeon satisfaction will be evaluated. The data from this pilot study will be used to obtain preliminary estimates of effect sizes and to select primary and secondary endpoints for the design of a larger scale and more definitive trial of the two anesthetic approaches.
NCT07396350
Forty patients will be selected from the outpatient's clinic of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Department, Faculty of Dentistry, Mansoura University for replacement of non-restorable tooth in posterior mandibular area with immediate implants.
NCT07257328
The aim of this study is to compare extraction socket healing (SH) following surgical extraction of lower third molars (LTMs) with and without the application of injectable platelet rich fibrine (i-PRF). A minimum of 32 participants will be included. One mandibular third molar per participant will be randomly assigned to the control group and the contralateral tooth to the test group. SH, gingival recession, and distal periodontal pocket depth of the adjacent second molar will be assessed, and outcomes compared between sides.
NCT06043037
The current trial aim was to evaluate clinically and radiographically the changes around dental implants inserted immediately in maxillary anterior esthetic zone using a novel combination of autogenous demineralized dentin graft (ADDG) with socket shield technique (SST) and compared this approach to socket shield technique (SST) alone. The present study included 50 participants, aged 20 to 45, with teeth that needed to be extracted. After Kafrelsheikh University research ethics committee approval, participants were randomized into 2 groups: the control group patients underwent immediate implantation using SS protocol, while the study group patients underwent the same procedure, but ADDG was created using the extracted palatal portion of the tooth; and then placed in the peri-implant gap defect.
NCT01025141
The main objective of the investigators' study is to assess the efficacy of a course of treatment using skeletal anchorage (MINISCREW) as compared with treatment involving dental anchorage (reference) during dentofacial orthopedic treatment.
NCT07231874
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.
NCT07191132
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether using a new Post-Dental Extraction Care Kit (PDEC-kit) can help patients better understand and follow their post-extraction instructions, and whether it can also reduce dental anxiety, compared with verbal instructions alone. The study is being conducted among adult patients (18 years and older) undergoing routine tooth extractions under local anaesthesia at a university oral surgery clinic. The main questions this study aims to answer are: Does the PDEC-kit improve patients' knowledge retention about post-extraction care? Does the PDEC-kit improve patient compliance with important post-extraction behaviours (e.g., medication use, diet, activity restrictions)? Does the PDEC-kit reduce patient anxiety compared with standard verbal instructions? Researchers will compare two groups of patients: One group will receive the usual standardised verbal instructions. The other group will receive the same verbal instructions plus the PDEC-kit. Participants in the PDEC-kit group will: Watch a short educational video on post-extraction care. Review illustrated flashcards showing key "dos and don'ts." Observe a live demonstration using a dental model to learn how to place and bite on gauze correctly. Take home a bilingual brochure (English and Bahasa Melayu), also available via QR code. All participants will be asked to answer short questionnaires about their knowledge, behaviour, and dental anxiety at three time points: before the extraction, immediately after receiving instructions, and one week later.
NCT07059247
From an exclusively periodontal point of view, the extraction of third molars (3M) or wisdom teeth is relatively frequently recommended, either because they show reduced bone support or to avoid periodontal damage to the supporting bone of the adjacent second molar (2M). There are anatomical conditions that make plaque control difficult for the patient, and it is common to find periodontal pockets with significantly increased depths on the distal side of second molars that are or have been closely associated with an impacted third molar. Among the periodontal considerations regarding impacted third molars, two aspects have traditionally been included: 1)The periodontal damage that certain impactions can cause to the periodontal health of the second molar, and 2) the periodontal sequelae or complications that the extraction of a wisdom tooth may leave on the distal surface of that second molar. Various therapeutic approaches have been described in the literature to prevent periodontal damage following the surgical intervention involved in the extraction of a fully or partially impacted wisdom tooth. These include scaling of the distal surface of the 2M after extraction, modifications in the surgical technique - such as flap design or suturing method - and various regenerative techniques. Within this context, the clinical research in which we invite the patients to participate will be developed. We will study the changes in bone levels on the posterior part of the second molar that is in contact with or close to the third molar, as well as the health of the soft tissues, after performing a conventional extraction protocol of the impacted lower third molar. This protocol includes the placement of a regenerative material of porcine origin (test procedure; enamel matrix derivatives) and will be compared to extraction without such material - and therefore without any attempt at periodontal regeneration (standard procedure). The patients will be closely followed up to one year after the surgical performance. This follow-up will be performed clinically and radiographically.
NCT07047131
This study compares two bone graft materials used when placing a dental implant right after tooth removal. One graft fully dissolves (GTO®), the other only partly (Apatos®). The goal is to see which one better preserves bone and improves appearance around the implant.
NCT06275191
The goal of this clinical trial is to test a three-item intervention in oral surgeons who remove teeth. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Can the intervention reduce opioid prescriptions to adolescents and young adults after tooth removal? * Do oral surgeons' beliefs about the intervention and opioid prescribing change? * Do patients that report using opioids after tooth removal have different experiences than patients that do not? Oral surgeon participants will: * Attend a 1-hour education session with a trained pharmacist * Receive patient instructions and blister packs of pain medicine to give to patients * Complete 2 surveys about feasibility and appropriateness Patient participants will complete a survey about pain and medication use after having a tooth removed. Researchers will compare the intervention to usual care to see if it reduces opioid prescribing.
NCT07020767
This randomized controlled clinical trial investigates the effect of two different surgical approaches-Vestibular Socket Therapy (VST) and Flap Elevation Technique-on soft and hard tissue outcomes during immediate implant placement in Class II extraction sockets of the anterior maxilla (esthetic zone). The study enrolled 26 systemically healthy adult patients contributing a total of 48 surgical sites. Each site was randomly assigned to one of the two treatment groups. The VST group employed a minimally invasive vestibular incision to allow atraumatic extraction, implant placement, bone grafting, and membrane placement while preserving the labial soft tissue and periosteal blood supply. The Flap Elevation group followed a conventional intrasulcular flap approach. In both groups, implants were placed with 30 Ncm torque and augmented with MegaOss™ allograft and a resorbable collagen membrane (T-barrier™). Clinical and radiographic evaluations were conducted at baseline, 6 months, and 12 months post-loading. Outcomes measured included Pink Esthetic Score (PES), peri-implant probing depth (PD), mucosal level changes, and crestal bone level changes.
NCT07018115
This randomized clinical trial investigates the effect of different preoperative patient information strategies on anxiety levels and hemodynamic responses during third molar extraction. Ninety-seven patients were assigned to control, verbal information, or visual (animation) information groups. Anxiety was measured using the Modified Dental Anxiety Scale (MDAS) and State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), while heart rate, blood pressure, oxygen saturation, and pain were recorded. The study aims to assess whether educational interventions can reduce anxiety and improve patient comfort during oral surgery.
NCT06970184
Observational, prospective study conducted on patients requiring tooth extractions followed by ARP and subsequent implant placement.
NCT06552936
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if the laser works to improve wound healing and bone regeneration after tooth extraction. The main question it aims to answer is: Does laser therapy improve wound healing and bone regeneration after tooth extraction? Researchers will compare a laser to sham laser therapy to see if the laser enhances wound healing and bone regeneration. Participants will: Have exposure to laser or sham laser therapy immediately after tooth extraction Record their pain intensity on days 2, 4, 6 and 14 Visit the clinic after 10 days for follow-up Again, visit the clinic after 4 months for evaluation
NCT05118815
A dental implant is an alloplastic material surgically inserted in a residual bone ridge, mainly with a prosthetic foundation. Nowadays the most widely used implants and with a higher degree of scientific evidence are the titanium root-form endosseous implants. In addition to the root component, the prosthodontic systems that allow the crown to be connected to the implant are very important. The aim of this project is to compare a classic anti-rotational straight esthetic multi-position attachment with the new anti-rotational straight esthetic slim multi-position abutment, both placed at the time of implant surgery. A multicenter randomized single-blind (for the patient) split-mouth randomized clinical trial will be performed to compare the composition, distribution and structure of the peri-implant tissues around the classic straight (control) and Slim (test) intermediate prosthetic abutments of the manufacturer Galimplant (Sarria; Lugo, Spain). The objective is to study which abutment design obtains a better biological seal from the clinical and histomorphometric point of view. For this purpose, 60 dental implants will be placed for the replacement of bilateral posterior absences in 30 patients attending the Master of Oral Medicine, Oral Surgery and Implantology of the University of Santiago de Compostela, Spain.
NCT06806423

The iWear consists of a lightweight high-end pair of video headphones that contain pair of VR goggles
NCT06724783
The goal of this randomized controlled clinical trial is to compare the use of two covering collagen membranes in a bone augmentation procedure around single implants and to assess three different veneering approaches on crowns in patients lacking a single tooth in the esthetic zone. The main aims include: 1. Bone stability, i.e. the difference in the bone defect depth 4 months after bone augmentation 2. The occurrence of ceramic restoration chipping at the inserted single crowns after 5 years. Participants will receive an implant with simultaneous bone augmentation using the bone particles and a covering collagen membrane. After the healing period, they will receive a crown restoration on the implant. In the surgical part, researchers will compare the commonly used collagen membrane with the compressed (stronger) version of the same collagen membrane in an otherwise identical procedure to evaluate if the compressed membrane offers the same or better bone stability. In the restorative part, researchers will compare three types of crown finishes: non-veneered, conventionally veneered and window-veneered (test group) Participants will be asked to come to follow-up appointments over a period of 7 years. Depending on the follow-up time in the study, different dental measurements will be taken to assess the stability of the implants and restorations.
NCT06657651
forty patients will be selected from the outpatient's clinic of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Department, Faculty of Dentistry, Mansoura University for replacement of non-restorable tooth in posterior mandibular area. Patients' Grouping: The patients will be randomly divided into two equal uniform groups each consists of 20 patients: Group A: 20 patients with non-restorable mandibular molar tooth will be treated with an immediately placed dental implant in conjunction with a dentin-derived membrane from the extracted tooth. Group B: 20 patients with non-restorable mandibular molar tooth will be treated with an immediately placed dental implant in conjunction with extended platelet rich fibrin membrane.
NCT03413891
In patients treated with direct oral anticoagulants, bleeding events during or after tooth extraction can lead to unscheduled interruption of the antithrombotic treatment and a potential increased risk of thrombo-embolic events. Therefore, an optimal strategy to minimize bleeding events after tooth extractions is required. In this study, the investigators want to assess whether adding tranexamic acid mouthwash reduces the number of bleeding events in patients treated with direct oral anticoagulants and undergoing a tooth extraction.
