Brief Summary

When the practitioners have to place an implant, it is necessary to have a sufficient amount of bone. This study propose to manage clinical situations by an approach using guided bone regeneration using an L-PRF bone block (composite graft composed of a xenograft, a membrane from the patient's blood and a collagenous membrane) after a short healing period of 6 to 8 weeks after tooth extraction. Alveolar ridge changes will be evaluated regarding soft and hard tissues up to 6 months.

Detailed Description

When the practitioners have to place an implant, it is necessary to have a sufficient amount of bone. After a tooth extraction, a bone remodeling process leads to a resorption of the various sockets components. The spontaneous healing of an extraction may result in an unsuitable site for the implant placement. It is therefore sometimes necessary to perform an alveolar ridge preservation (ARP) at the time of extraction at the future implant site to compensate for this natural resorption. However, some clinical situations don't allow ARP (infection, significant bone loss, etc.) at the time of extraction. In these situations where alveolar preservation is not indicated and bone augmentation is required to recover or preserve correct bone anatomy for implant placement, other techniques must be used. Thus, in this study, the investigators propose to manage these clinical situations by an approach using guided bone regeneration using an L-PRF bone block (composite graft composed of a xenograft, a membrane from the patient's blood and a collagenous membrane) after a short healing period of 6 to 8 weeks after tooth extraction. This early approach allows soft tissue healing (easier primary closure to cover the graft), take advantage of the residual bone architecture of the socket (only at the beginning of its resorption) and allows infection resorption at the extraction site.

The outcomes are the volumetric changes of the soft and hard tissue. To evaluate this volumetric changes, 3 CBCTs and 3 digital impressions will be made at 3 different times: before extraction, before guided bone regeneration and before implant placement (5 to 8 months after regeneration).

Patients will be recruited at Cliniques Universitaires Saint-Luc, participation will be voluntary without any obligation. To be included in the experiment, patients will have to have at least one tooth from the antero-superior sector that must be extracted with the need for pre-implant bone regeneration. This need for guided bone regeneration will be based on a three-dimensional radiological examination.

The chronology of the experiment is :

1. First consultation to make the diagnosis, explain the experiment and sign the informed consent.

2. 1st CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography) and 1st digital impression.

3. Surgery: extraction of tooth(s).

4. 2nd CBCT, digital impression and control of the healing of the extraction site 10 to 15 days after extraction.

5. Surgery: Guided bone regeneration 6 to 8 weeks after extraction.

6. Control of the healing of the site 10 to 14 days after regeneration.

7. 3rd CBCT, 3rd digital impression 5 to 8 months after regeneration.

8. Surgery: Implant placement. The data analysis will be done clinically with control visits after the different surgeries and volumetrically with CBCTs and optical impressions. The impressions and the radiographic images will be analysed used dedicated application (MeVisLab for the CBCTs and Gom Inspect for the impressions).
