Brief Summary

The primary aim of the present multicenter randomized controlled trial was to evaluate and compare the shortterm clinical and histological changes of extraction sockets after ridge preservation procedures with changes of extraction sockets that healed naturally. The secondary aim was to evaluate which, if any extraction socket characteristics could have affected tissue changes occurring at the augmented as well as naturally healed sites. Recruitment and enrollment of patients were performed from June 2011 to June 2012 in five university centers/private practice:

  • University of Pisa;
  • University of Murcia;
  • University of Ancona;
  • Private practice, Dr. Di Felice;
  • University of Verona. Randomization:
  • extraction sockets with spontaneous healing;
  • extraction sockets grafted with pre-hydrated collagenated cortico-cancellous porcine bone, with a particle size between 600 and 1000 μm;
  • extraction sockets grafted with cortical porcine bone, with a particle size between 600 and 1000 μm.
  • Complications
  • Changes of ridge volume contour;
  • Vertical bone changes;
  • Buccal-Lingual Width;
  • Histomorphometric parameters. Sample size was calculated comparing outcome data between grafted sockets versus non-grafted sockets. The primary parameter was the change in mid-buccal vertical height (0.7±1.4mm and 3.6±1.5mm, respectively, for the test and control groups) (Barone et al. 2008). Final sample size was increased to 30 subjects per group due to possible patient dropout events. Each center contributed according to the predetermined 1:1:1 ratio; the fresh extraction socket was considered the unit of randomization. Corrections for balancing the three experimental groups for confounding factors were not applied. A matrix elaborator performed all the analyses§§: multi-way analysis of variance (ANOVAn) was applied, then appropriate post hoc comparison tests were run; post hoc estimated effect sizes were calculated with a power of 0.9. The level of statistical significance was set at 0.05 for all analyses.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (24)

  • Clinical vertical bone changes

    Vertical bone changes were evaluated in mm with the use of a custom made stent at mesial, distal, buccal and lingual/palatal sites; it was set as the distance between the reference point and the most apical point of the marginal bone level. Changes at the vertical bone level were evaluated by subtracting the postoperative value from the respective baseline value.

  • Volume of the alveolar ridge

    Several impressions of the experimental sites were obtained from each patient. Impressions of the jaw were obtained in a one-step process with two viscosity polyvinyl siloxane impression materials. Within 24 h, model casts of the dental impressions were obtained using plaster of Paris. A scanner for cone-beam computerized tomography was employed for 3D file acquisition of the different model casts of each patient. The CBCT scan data were inserted into a Matrix Laboratory, and for each patient, positions of axial images related to all time frames were elaborated in space in such a way that the residual teeth were superimposable (Sbordone et al. 2012a,b); A volumetric evaluation (V in cm3) of the study models in the site subjected to alveolar ridge preservation was performed with Segment and Planning tool of SimPlant Pro 12.02.

  • Marginal bone loss

    Bone loss was measured (in mm) by comparing the radiographs taken at baseline (immediately after placement) to the postoperative ones. The marginal bone height (MBL) was measured as the distance between the reference point (fixture-abutment interface) and the most apical point of the marginal bone level. Calibration was performed using the known thread-pitch distance of the implants (pitch = 1.0 mm), and fixture diameter and length.

  • Implant success

    Implant failure (count) was defined as implant mobility, removal of implants caused by progressive bone loss or infection. The stability of each implant was evaluated at the delivery of prosthetic restoration and 1 year after implant insertion and two metallic handles of dental instruments were used to evaluate the stability of single crowns. Success rates (in percentage) were calculated according to the criteria suggested by Buser and colleagues.
