Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to compare the clinical and histologic outcomes for acellular dermal matrix and resorbable membranes to determine if either provides a significant therapeutic advantage.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The control subjects will receive a bone graft in the extraction socket, plus an additional bone graft on the outside socket wall covered by a bioabsorbable membrane made of polylactic acid and a citric acid ester. The test subjects will receive same type and technique of bone graft with a the acellular dermal matrix membrane to cover the bone graft. The membrane the patients receive will be randomly assigned using a coin toss: heads will be assigned to the test group while tails will be assigned for controls. The objective is to determine if at 4 months the width and height of the jaw bone and also the soft tissue thickness where the tooth was extracted has increased, decreased or remained the same. Also the amount of patients own newly formed bone will be determined by microscopic examination of a core of jaw bone that will be obtained from the site of implant placement immediately before the implant is placed (the implant is not considered part of the study).

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Acellular dermal matrix membrane

An acellular dermal matrix membrane will be used as a barrier between the osseous graft and the soft tissue flap.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Acellular dermal matrix membrane

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

The surgical procedure will consist of a full-thickness papilla preservation flap performed on the buccal and a full thickness flap on the palatal to expose the alveolar ridge and the tooth to be extracted. The group will receive an intrasocket cancellous particulate allograft plus a facial overlay graft using a bovine xenograft covered by an acellular dermal matrix, composed of human connective tissue matrix.

Polylactic acid membrane

A polylactic acid membrane will be used as a barrier between the osseous graft and the soft tissue flap.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Polylactic acid membrane

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

The surgical procedure will consist of a full-thickness papilla preservation flap performed on the buccal and a full thickness flap on the palatal to expose the alveolar ridge and the tooth to be extracted. The group will receive intrasocket cancellous particulate allograft plus a facial overlay graft using a bovine xenograft, covered by a bioabsorbable membrane made of polylactic acid and a citric acid ester
