Implant Stability in Autogenous Mineralized and Demineralized Dentin Grafts (NCT05219305)
Autogenous Mineralized Dentin Graft Compared to Partial Demineralized Tooth Graft and to Freeze-Dried Bone Allograft in Dental Implant Placement
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
The bone grafting materials currently used in dentistry are autografts, allografts, xenografts, and alloplastic grafts. Among these different types of bone graft materials, autografts are considered to have the most predictable results due to their properties of osteogenesis, osteoinduction, and osteoconduction. However, bone autografts are rarely used due to the high morbidity associated with harvesting the bone graft from the patient with a second surgical site. Because of the increased risk to the patient with autogenous bone grafts, the current standard of care is an allograft, which is a bone graft harvested from cadaver sources such as Freeze-Dried Bone Allograft (FDBA). While allografts can only possess the qualities of osteoinduction and osteoconduction, they also have dramatically less morbidity due to the lack of a second surgical site. Our null hypothesis states that: Experimental groups (mineralized, and partially demineralized dentin grafts) do not show positive changes in implant stability, survival, failure rate, probing pocket depth, and interproximal crestal bone level changes when compared to FDBA Our alternative hypothesis states that: Experimental groups (mineralized, and partially demineralized dentin grafts) show similar or better results in terms of implant stability, survival, failure rate, probing pocket depth, and interproximal crestal bone level changes when compared to FDBA.
