Comparison between two bone substitutes for alveolar ridge preservation after tooth extraction: Cone-beam computed tomography results of a non-inferiority randomized controlled trial

AIM To test the non-inferiority of demineralized bovine bone mineral (DBBM) compared to DBBM with 10% collagen (DBBM-C) for maintenance of bone volume after tooth extraction in the anterior maxilla. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixty-six patients were randomly treated with DBBM or DBBM-C, both of which were covered with a collagen matrix for ridge preservation in the anterior maxilla. Cone-beam computed tomographic analysis was performed immediately and 4 months after treatment. The primary outcome, for which non-inferiority of DBBM was tested, was change in the horizontal ridge width 1 mm below the buccal alveolar crest (HW-1) 4 months after extraction. RESULTS Four months after extraction, HW-1 measured -1.60 mm ± 0.82 mm for DBBM-C, while the DBBM group showed a mean loss of -1.37 mm ± 0.84 mm (p = 0.28, 0.23 [95% CI: -0.19; 0.64]). The horizontal ridge width at 3 mm (HW-3) showed -0.98 mm (±0.67 mm) for DBBM-C and -0.84 mm (±0.62 mm) for DBBM (p = 0.40, 0.12 [95% CI: -0.19; 0.45]), and the horizontal ridge width at 5 mm (HW-5) showed -0.67 mm (±0.47 mm) for DBBM-C and -0.56 mm (±0.48 mm) for DBBM (p = 0.36, 0.11 [95% CI: -0.13; 0.34]). CONCLUSIONS The present clinical trial demonstrated non-inferiority of DBBM compared to DBBM-C for maintenance of alveolar bone volume 4 months after tooth extraction in the anterior maxilla

Impacto da periodontite agressiva e da periodontite crônica na qualidade de vida relacionada à saúde bucal.

The objective of this cross-sectional study was to investigate the effect of different forms of periodontal disease on oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL). 52 patients with Aggressive Periodontitis (AP) or Chronic Periodontitis (CP) were included: nine patients with Localized Aggressive Periodontitis (LAP), thirty-three patients with Generalized Aggressive Periodontitis (GAP) and ten patients with Generalized Chronic Periodontitis (GCP). The Oral Health Impact Profile questionnaires (OHIP-14) were distributed after a clinical examination that measured the following periodontal parameters: tooth loss, bleeding on probing (BoP), probing depth (DP), gingival recession (REC) and clinical insertion level (CAL)) The global averages of the OHIP-14 score were 10.6 for the LAP, 16.5 for the GAP and 17.5 for the GCP. Statistically significant difference (p <0.01) was observed between the LAP group and the other two groups. There was significantly less bleeding and recession in the LAP group than in patients with generalized forms of periodontitis. LAP, GAP and GCP have an impact on patients' quality of life when measured with OHIP-14. Patients with GAP and GCP had worse HRQoL than patients with LAP.O objetivo deste estudo transversal foi investigar o efeito de diferentes formas de doenças periodontais na qualidade de vida relacionada à saúde bucal (OHRQoL). Foram incluídos 52 pacientes com Periodontite Agressiva (AP) ou Periodontite Crônica (PC): nove pacientes com Periodontite Agressiva Localizada (LAP), trinta e três pacientes com Periodontite Agressiva Generalizada (GAP) e dez pacientes com Periodontite Crônica Generalizada (GCP) . Os questionários de Perfil de Impacto na Saúde Oral (OHIP-14) foram distribuídos após um exame clínico que mediu os seguintes parâmetros periodontais: perda dentária, sangramento na sondagem (BoP), profundidade da sondagem (DP), recessão gengival (REC) e nível de inserção clínica (CAL) ) As médias globais da pontuação do OHIP-14 foram 10,6 para o LAP, 16,5 para o GAP e 17,5 para o GCP. Diferença estatisticamente significante (p <0. 01) foi observado entre o grupo LAP e os outros dois grupos. Houve significativamente menos sangramento e recessão no grupo LAP do que nos pacientes com formas generalizadas de periodontite. LAP, GAP e GCP têm impacto na qualidade de vida dos pacientes quando medidos com o OHIP-14. Pacientes com GAP e GCP apresentaram pior QVRS que pacientes com LAP

Comparison of dimensional alterations of the post-extraction socket between the alveolar preservation technique with the use of xenogenic bone substitute and spontaneous healing: randomized clinical trial

A cicatrização de um alvéolo após a extração dental é uma resposta reparadora. Após a exodontia, a cicatrização espontânea irá levar à perda do volume e do formato do rebordo original. A preservação alveolar envolve qualquer procedimento que limite os efeitos da reabsorção pós-extração. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar o uso de um substituto ósseo xenogênico na preservação alveolar pós-extração dental comparado com a cicatrização espontânea em dentes anteriores da maxila com defeitos ósseos da parede vestibular maiores do que 50%. Foram tratados 13 pacientes com necessidade de exodontia de dente anterior da maxila com perda >50% da parede vestibular. Todas as exodontias foram realizadas sem retalho. Os pacientes foram alocados aleatoriamente em grupo teste: preservação alveolar com substituto ósseo (7 participantes) e grupo controle: cicatrização espontânea (6 participantes). O desfecho primário foi a alteração dimensional do rebordo alveolar calculada entre as imagens tomográficas de início (pós-exodontia) e depois de 4 meses da intervenção, na espessura 1mm abaixo da porção coronal da crista (HW-1). Os desfechos secundários foram as medidas vestibular e palatina, e os segmentos transversais HW-3 e HW-5. A medida HW-1 reduziu 51,21 % no grupo teste e 82,80% no grupo controle, com uma diferença intergrupos estatisticamente significante de 31,59%. Para as medidas transversais, houve redução estatisticamente significante tanto para HW-3 quanto para HW-5 entre os dois grupos. Em alvéolos com perda da parede vestibular maior que 50%, a utilização do substituto ósseo promoveu uma menor perda horizontal na ordem de 30%.The healing process of post-extraction sockets is bone resorption. After tooth extraction, spontaneous healing will lead to loss of volume and shape of the original ridge. Alveolar ridge preservation involves any procedure that limits the effects of post-extraction resorption. The objective of this study was to evaluate the use of the xenogenic bone substitute in the post-extraction alveolar preservation compared to spontaneous healing in anterior maxilla teeth with vestibular wall defects greater than 50%. Thirteen patients with anterior maxillary tooth extraction with a > 50% buccal wall loss were treated. All the surgeries were made flapless. Patients were randomly assigned to a test group: alveolar preservation with bone substitute (7 participants); and control group: spontaneous healing (6 participants). The primary outcome was the dimensional alteration of the alveolar ridge calculated between the tomographic images at the beginning (post-extraction) and after 4 months of the intervention, at the thickness 1mm below the coronal portion of the crest (HW-1). Secondary outcomes were measures buccal and palatine, and HW-3 and HW-5 cross-sections. The HW-1 measure reduced 51.21% in the test group and 82.80% in the control group, with a statistically significant intergroup difference of 31.59%. For the other horizontal measurements, there was a statistically significant reduction for both HW-3 and HW-5 between the two groups. In sockets with buccal wall loss greater than 50%, the use of the bone substitute provided a 30% lower horizontal loss

Simultaneous Assessment of Soft and Hard Tissue Behaviors After Alveolar Ridge Preservation Using Bone Substitutes

This study aimed to simultaneously assess hard and soft tissues alterations and their proportions after alveolar ridge preservation (ARP). Participants (n = 65) who were previously enrolled in a clinical trial investigating ARP healing were selected. The CBCT DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine) and the cast STL (stereolithographic) files of each subject were imported, segmented, and superimposed. A cross-section view of the superimposed image presented the outlines from each DICOM and STL file. The center of preserved ridge was selected in the superimposed image and used to draw the reference lines to realize the measurements. Horizontal linear measurements determined ridge width (RW) and its respective hard/soft tissue proportion (H:S) at 1, 3, 5, and 7 mm below the buccal bone crest immediately after ARP and at the 4-month follow-up. At 1 mm, the baseline RW was 11.6 mm and reduced to 10 mm after 4 months. The baseline H:S was 65%:35% and was 43%:57% at the 4-month follow-up. Considering only the buccal half of the ridge, baseline H:S was 77%:23%, while after 4 months it shifted to 58%:42%. A similar pattern was observed at 3, 5, and 7 mm but with decreased resorption degree. The present study showed that hard tissue is mostly responsible for RW loss after healing, especially in the first 3 mm below the buccal bone crest. Soft tissue partially compensated for the hard tissue shrinkage, gaining thickness in the analyzed areas

Impact of aggressive periodontitis and chronic periodontitis on oral health-related quality of life

<div><p>Abstract The purpose of this cross-sectional study was to investigate the effect of different forms of periodontal diseases on Oral Health-Related Quality of Life (OHRQoL). Fifty-two patients with Aggressive Periodontitis (AP) or Chronic Periodontitis (CP) were included: nine patients with Localized Aggressive Periodontitis (LAP), thirty-three patients with Generalized Aggressive Periodontitis (GAP) and ten patients with Generalized Chronic Periodontitis (GCP). Oral Health Impact Profile questionnaires (OHIP-14) were distributed after a clinical examination that measured the following periodontal parameters: tooth loss, bleeding on probing (BoP), probing depth (PD), gingival recession (REC) and clinical attachment level (CAL). The global OHIP-14 score means were 10.6 for LAP, 16.5 for GAP, and 17.5 for GCP. A statistically significant difference (p < 0.01) was observed between the LAP group and the other two groups. There was significantly less bleeding and recession in the LAP group than in the patients with the generalized forms of periodontitis. LAP, GAP and GCP have an impact on patient quality of life when measured using the OHIP-14. Patients with GAP and GCP had poorer OHRQoL than LAP patients.</p></div
