Hard and Soft Tissue Changes Following Vestibular Socket Preservation Versus Ice Cream Cone Technique for Management of Defective Fresh Extraction Sockets

Cairo University30 enrolled

Overview

Evaluation of hard and soft tissue changes following vestibular socket preservation versus ice cream cone technique for management of defective fresh extraction sockets in the esthetic zone.

The aim of this randomized clinical trial is to assess the volumetric and radiographic ridge contour changes following alveolar ridge preservation using Vestibular socket preservation in patient with type II fresh extraction sockets, versus ice cream cone technique. In patients needing extraction in anterior maxilla with type II sockets, there will be no difference between the Vestibular socket preservation and ice cream cone technique regarding the changes in alveolar ridge contour.

Interventions

Socket Preservation by vestibular socket therapyPROCEDURE

Subperiosteal tunnel will be created from the facial aspect of the socket orifice and extending apically until the extent of the vestibular access incision. A cortical shield will be introduced from the vestibular incision through the tunnel and the Socket will be filled by xenograft . Apical cut will be made at the palatal aspect to free the pedicle flap connective tissue and the pedicle flap will be raised using periosteal elevator and rotated and rolled occlusally to seal the socket and sutured using interrupted sutures . The primary palatal flap will be sutured in place over the donor site palatally using interrupted sutures.

Socket Preservation by icecream cone techniquePROCEDURE

Collagen barrier membrane will be shaped as an ice cream cone and placed in the extraction socket lining the buccal tissues. The socket will be filled with Demineralized Bovine Bone Matrix DBBM.The upper part of the membrane will be used to cover the socket and will be stabilized by interrupted sutures using prolene sutures of size 6-0

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Linear buccal distance (mm)

Soft tissue linear buccal distance will be measured using 3D scans via intaoral digital scanner at baseline, 3 months and 6 months using 3D software (NemoSmile Design 3D, Nemotec, Madrid, Spain) and STL viewer (3Shape Ortho viewer, 3Shape, Denmark)

Time frame: 6 months

Secondary Outcomes

Changes in the height of the socket buccal and palatal ridges (mm)

Radiographic assessment using Cone Beam Computed Tomography to assess the labiopalatal alveolar ridge width reduction and changes in the height of the socket buccal and lingual ridges. Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) (Carestream Health, CS 8100 3D System) will be performed preoperative, baseline and 6 months postoperative.

Time frame: 6 months

Labiopalatal volumetric ridge contour analysis (mm)

Labiopalatal volumetric ridge contour analysis will be measured using 3D scans via intaoral digital scanner at baseline, 3 months and 6 months using 3D software (NemoSmile Design 3D, Nemotec, Madrid, Spain) and STL viewer (3Shape Ortho viewer, 3Shape, Denmark) and scans will be superimposed on each other.

Time frame: 6 months

Patient satisfaction (Yes/No)

Patient satisfaction will be evaluated using questionnaires during the 2 weeks after ARP.

Time frame: 2 weeks

Pain (1-10)

The severity of subjective pain and swelling will be evaluated using the visual analog scale (VAS) score (score range = 0-10, with 0 reflecting no pain and swelling), and durations of pain and swelling will be investigated during the 2 weeks after ARP

Time frame: 2 weeks
