Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Background
Post-extraction bone resorption may affect the outcome of ensuing restorations.Purpose
This study aimed to evaluate a comprehensive laser post-extraction protocol by comparing resulting alveolar bone regeneration with that obtained after standard extraction procedure.Materials and methods
About 53 simple extractions were randomized to either laser or control group. In the laser group, erbium (Er:YAG; 2940 nm) and neodymium (Nd:YAG; 1064 nm) lasers were used for degranulation, disinfection, de-epithelialization of the surrounding gingiva, clot stabilization, and photobiomodulation. The primary outcome measure was change in bone density in the extraction area between day 1 and 4 months after extraction. Patients were monitored for potential side effects.Results
Increase in bone density at the follow-up CBCT was significantly higher in laser than in control group (p < 0.001). No post-operative pain, bleeding, or swelling was present in the laser group. In the control group, one patient had bleeding 3-5 days after extraction, two patients had swelling and three patients reported post-operative pain rated 3-5 on a 0-10 pain scale up to 3 days after extraction.Conclusions
The proposed laser post-extraction procedure is a safe and effective method to improve post-extraction bone healing.

Project description:Objectives:The purpose of this systematic review was to assess quantitatively and qualitatively the influence of two different factors: membranes and soft tissue graft influence for the extraction socket preservation. Material and Methods:A wide-ranging electronic search was performed in six databases up to 30 of November 2018 in order to identify all the clinical and randomized clinical trials performed in humans published with no data restriction. The inclusion criteria were extraction socket preservation with and without membranes or a soft tissue graft in a intact socket with at least six months of follow-up, have more than 12 patients or treat more than 12 sites per group and evaluated at least one of the primary outcomes measures (radiographic measures histological assessment, clinical measures). Results:From an initial search of 1524 studies only 6 papers fulfil the inclusion and exclusion criterions. All the six selected papers, presented a wide heterogeneity of treatments used, evaluated variables and observation period that made impossible to recommend any specific techniques and/or material to achieve better results. The limited data found suggest that the used of membrane reveals to achieve better results. It wasn't possible to observe in any clinical trial that compares the used of soft tissue graft. Conclusions:New trials need to be performed in order to identify what specific techniques and/or materials are better to decrease the reabsorption of the socket after tooth extraction. Clinical trials designed to understand when/how the soft tissues grafts influence at the socket preservation is needed.

Project description:AIM:To compare the effectiveness of two-ridge preservation treatments. MATERIALS AND METHODS:Forty subjects with extraction sockets exhibiting substantial buccal dehiscences were enrolled and randomized across 10 standardized centres. Treatments were demineralized allograft plus reconstituted and cross-linked collagen membrane (DFDBA + RECXC) or deproteinized bovine bone mineral with collagen plus native, bilayer collagen membrane (DBBMC + NBCM). Socket dimensions were recorded at baseline and 6 months. Wound closure and soft tissue inflammation were followed post-operatively, and biopsies were retrieved for histomorphometric analysis at 6 months. RESULTS:Primary endpoint: at 6 months, extraction socket horizontal measures were significantly greater for DBBMC + NBCM (average 1.76 mm greater, p = 0.0256). Secondary and Exploratory endpoints: (1) lingual and buccal vertical bone changes were not significantly different between the two treatment modalities, (2) histomorphometric % new bone and % new bone + graft were not significantly different, but significantly more graft remnants remained for DBBMC; (3) at 1 month, incision line gaps were significantly greater and more incision lines remained open for DFDBA + RECXC; (4) higher inflammation at 1 week tended to correlate with lower ridge preservation results; and (5) deeper socket morphologies with thinner bony walls correlated with better ridge preservation. Thirty-seven of 40 sites had sufficient ridge dimension for implant placement at 6 months; the remainder were DFDBA + RECXC sites. CONCLUSION:DBBMC + NBCM provided better soft tissue healing and ridge preservation for implant placement. Deeper extraction sockets with higher and more intact bony walls responded more favourably to ridge preservation therapy.

Project description:Background: Wound healing is essential in any surgical procedure, and multiple factors, such as smoking, can impair it. The aim of this clinical trial was to evaluate the ability of platelet-rich fibrin to enhance socket wound healing in smokers. Methods: A total of 18 smoker participants with forty non-restorable upper molars indicated for extraction were recruited to the study and were randomly allocated to four different groups for the assessment of four techniques: advanced platelet-rich fibrin (A-PRF), factor-enriched bone graft matrix with advanced platelet-rich fibrin (A/S-PRF), freeze-dried bone allograft and crosslinked collagen membrane (FDBA/CM), and resorbable collagen plug (RCP). One examiner clinically measured soft-tissue closure and the healing pattern using a periodontal probe and a healing index. Each subject was given a questionnaire after each follow-up visit to record several patient-reported experience measures (PREMs). This was conducted at baseline and 10, 21, and 28 days after the extraction procedure. Results: Both A-PRF and A/S-PRF showed significant results in terms of mesio-distally (p = 0.012), and healing pattern parameters (p < 0.0001), while RCP showed the least favorable outcome. Conclusions: Different forms of PRF exhibited enhanced wound closure and healing patterns, as well as reduced post-operative complications among smokers.

Project description:Past studies in humans have demonstrated horizontal and vertical bone loss after six months following tooth extraction. Many biomaterials have been developed to preserve bone volume after tooth extraction. Type I collagen serves as an excellent delivery system for growth factors and promotes angiogenesis. Calcium phosphate ceramics have also been investigated because their mineral chemistry resembles human bone. The aim of this study was to compare the performance of a novel bioresorbable purified fibrillar collagen and hydroxyapatite/β-tricalcium phosphate (HA/β-TCP) ceramic composite versus collagen alone and a bovine xenograft-collagen composite in beagles. Collagen plugs, bovine graft-collagen composite and HA/β-TCP-collagen composite were implanted into the left and right first, second and third mandibular premolars, and the fourth molar was left empty for natural healing. In total, 20 male beagle dogs were used, and quantitative and histological analyses of the extraction ridge was done. The smallest width reduction was 19.09% ± 8.81% with the HA/β-TCP-collagen composite at Week 8, accompanied by new bone formation at Weeks 4 and 8. The HA/β-TCP-collagen composite performed well, as a new osteoconductive and biomimetic composite biomaterial, for socket bone preservation after tooth extraction.

Project description:The present study aimed to investigate the effect of HA in improving post-extraction socket healing in subjects with diabetes mellitus (DM) type 2. DM patients requiring bilateral extraction of the homologous teeth were visited at the C.I.R. Dental School, University of Turin. After the extractions, one site was randomly assigned to the test (T) group (postoperative application of HA), while the other site was assigned to the control group (C, no treatment). Patients were then followed after 3, 7, 14, and 21 days. Primary outcomes were the healing index and socket closure. The Mann-Whitney test or the Student's t-test was used for nonparametric or parametric distributed variables. The chi-square test was used if the estimated data in any given cell were >5, otherwise the Fisher test was adopted. A p < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. In total, 36 patients (n = 36) were enrolled in this study for a total of 72 extractions (n = 72). Sockets treated with HA showed significantly (p < 0.05) better healing index values at day 7 (p = 0.01) and at day 14 (p = 0.02) and significantly (p < 0.05) better socket closure values at day 3 (p = 0.04), day 7 (p = 0.001) and day 14 (p = 0.001) compared to the C group. Based on the clinical results, HA seems to be promising in improving the timing and the quality of post-extractive wound healing in DM patients. Further clinical research, as well as histological investigations, are required to confirm the results.

Project description:Tooth extraction results in alveolar bone resorption and is accompanied by postoperative swelling and pain. Maresin 1 (MaR1) is a proresolving lipid mediator produced by macrophages during the resolution phase of inflammation, bridging healing and tissue regeneration. The aim of this study was to examine the effects of MaR1 on tooth extraction socket wound healing in a preclinical rat model. The maxillary right first molars of Sprague-Dawley rats were extracted, and gelatin scaffolds were placed into the sockets with or without MaR1. Topical application was also given twice a week until complete socket wound closure up to 14 d. Immediate postoperative pain was assessed by 3 scores. Histology and microcomputed tomography were used to assess socket bone fill and alveolar ridge dimensional changes at selected dates. The assessments of coded specimens were performed by masked, calibrated examiners. Local application of MaR1 potently accelerated extraction socket healing. Macroscopic and histologic analysis revealed a reduced soft tissue wound opening and more rapid re-epithelialization with MaR1 delivery versus vehicle on socket healing. Under micro-computed tomography analysis, MaR1 (especially at 0.05 μg/μL) stimulated greater socket bone fill at day 10 as compared with the vehicle-treated animals, resulting in less buccal plate resorption and a wider alveolar ridge by day 21. Interestingly, an increased ratio of CD206+:CD68+ macrophages was identified in the sockets with MaR1 application under immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence analysis. As compared with the vehicle therapy, local delivery of MaR1 reduced immediate postoperative surrogate pain score panels. In summary, MaR1 accelerated extraction wound healing, promoted socket bone fill, preserved alveolar ridge bone, and reduced postoperative pain in vivo with a rodent preclinical model. Local administration of MaR1 offers clinical potential to accelerate extraction socket wound healing for more predictable dental implant reconstruction.

Project description:Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) regulates the survival, proliferation and differentiation of all cells in the neutrophil lineage, and is consequently used for neutropenic conditions. Upon G-CSF administration, osteoblasts and osteocytes are suppressed, and the support system allowing hematopoietic stem cells to remain in the microenvironment is diminished. The present study focused on and investigated G-CSF as a regulatory factor of bone remodeling. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of G-CSF administration on the bone healing of tooth extraction sockets. Significant differences in the bone volume fraction, and trabecular separation of the proximal femurs and alveolar septa were observed between the G-CSF and control (saline-treated) groups. The trabecular bone of the femur and alveolar septa was reduced in the G-CSF group compared with that in the control group. In addition, serum procollagen type 1 N-terminal propeptide levels, a marker of bone formation, were lower in the G-CSF group compared with in the control group. Fibrous connective tissues and immature bone were observed in the extraction socket, and bone healing was delayed in the G-CSF group compared with that in the control group. The bone area in the extraction socket 6 days after tooth extraction was significantly smaller in the G-CSF group (23.6%) than that in the control group (45.1%). Furthermore, G-CSF administration reduced the number of canaliculi per osteocyte and inhibited the connection of osteocyte networks. Consequently, osteoblast activation was inhibited and bone remodeling changed to a state of low bone turnover in the G-CSG group. Analysis of bone formation parameters revealed that the G-CSF group exhibited a lower mineral apposition rate compared with in the control group. In conclusion, these findings indicated that G-CSF may delay bone healing of the socket after tooth extraction.

Project description:PurposeThis randomized controlled clinical trial compared soft tissue changes following a novel vestibular atraumatic extraction technique (test group) versus the conventional incisal atraumatic extraction approach (control group) while implementing the vestibular socket therapy for immediate implant placement.MethodsThirty patients with hopeless maxillary anterior teeth requiring atraumatic extraction were randomly assigned into two equal groups to receive either test or control. Vertical soft tissue alterations in mm were measured at baseline and 12 months post-restoration using intraoral digital scans at three reference points, distal papilla, mid-facial gingival margin, and mesial papilla, as well as pink esthetic scores (PESs) after 12 months.ResultsVestibular extraction technique showed significant soft tissue improvement and creeping when compared to incisal extraction (P < 0.05). The test group showed soft tissue measurements with a mean (± SD) of 0.26 (± 0.58), 0.39 (± 0.64), and 0.05 (± 0.37) mm for the mesial papilla, mid-facial gingival margin, and distal papilla respectively. While the incisal extraction technique demonstrated gingival recession at the distal papilla, mid-facial gingival margin, and mesial papilla of - 0.37 (± 0.54) mm, - 0.32 (± 0.68) mm, and - 0.39 (± 0.59) mm respectively. The overall PESs after 12 months were 12.67 (± 1.59) in vestibular extraction group, while incisal extraction group was 11.40 (± 1.40), with significant difference between them (P = 0.03).ConclusionThis investigation suggests that both studied techniques were successful in the atraumatic extraction of hopeless severely damaged teeth. The novel vestibular extraction technique might be considered an alternative reliable atraumatic extraction approach compared to the conventional incisal extraction when performing the vestibular socket protocol for immediate implant placement with soft tissue enhancement.

Project description:BackgroundThe healing of an extraction socket leads to alveolar ridge resorption that can hinder future implant placement and further rehabilitation with special concerns in diabetes mellitus. Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) has been developed as a new material for alveolar socket augmentation. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of CoQ10 hydrogel on bone regeneration after extraction of mandibular teeth in Type II diabetic patients.MethodsThis trial was registered under the number NCT05122299 and included eighteen patients. The hydrogel was first prepared and characterized. After tooth extraction, the hydrogel was placed in the extraction sockets. Bone formation was evaluated three months after tooth extraction.ResultsThe bone density was significantly higher in the CoQ10 group than the other two groups measured on cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). The relative gene expression of Runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2) and Osteopontin (OPN) showed significant increase in the presence of CoQ10. Histomorphometry revealed significantly less fibrous tissue in the CoQ10 group in comparison to the control or collagen group.ConclusionThe local application of CoQ10 after tooth extraction provided a simple, inexpensive, yet effective treatment facilitating bone formation and healing in the extraction sockets of diabetic patients.

Project description:ObjectiveTo evaluate the efficacy of a novel decellularized porcine bone xenograft, produced by supercritical carbon dioxide extraction technology, on alveolar socket healing after tooth extraction compared to a commercially available deproteinized bovine bone (Bio-Oss®).Materials and methodsNine dogs (about 18 months old and weighing between 20 kg and 30 kg) underwent extractions of lower second to fourth premolars, bilaterally. The dogs were randomly selected and allocated to the following groups: Group 1: control unfilled socket; Group 2: socket filled with decellularized porcine bone xenograft (ABCcolla®) and covered by a commercially available porcine collagen membrane (Bio-Gide®); Group 3: socket filled with Bio-Oss® and covered by Bio-Gide® membrane. One dogs from each group was sacrificed at 4-, 12-, and 24-week to evaluate the socket healing after tooth extraction. The mandible bone blocks were processed without decalcification and specimens were embedded in methyl methacrylate and subjected to histopathology analyses to evaluate the bone regeneration in the extraction sockets.ResultsAt 24-week after socket healing, ABCcolla® treated defects demonstrated significantly higher histopathology score in new bone formation and bone bridging, but significantly lower score in fluorescent labeling than those of the Bio-Oss®. In the microphotographic examination, decellularized porcine bone xenograft showed similar characteristics of new bone formation to that of Bio-Oss®. However, there was significantly less remnant implant materials in the decellularized porcine bone xenograft compared to the Bio-Oss® group at 24-week. Thus, the decellularized porcine bone graft seems to have promising bone regeneration properties similar to that of Bio-Oss® with less remnant grafted material in a canine tooth extraction socket model.ConclusionsWithin the limits of the study, we concluded that ABCcolla® treated defects demonstrated significantly more new bone formation and better bone bridging, but less amount of fluorescent labeling than those of the Bio-Oss® group. However, clinical studies in humans are recommended to confirm these findings.
