Bone Loss, Alveolar
Conditions
Brief summary
The purpose of the study is to determine the efficacy and safety of the effects of a topical medication on bone remodeling after dental extraction, in order to establish whether such treatment can be a new therapeutic option for said pathology. The participation of 60 patients is expected, who will be divided randomly in equal proportions into two groups. Treatment groups: Group A (30 patients): medication administered topically. Group B (30 patients): placebo with characteristics equal to the drug under investigation.
Detailed description
The purpose of the study is to determine the efficacy and safety of the effects of a topical medication on bone remodeling after dental extraction, in order to establish whether such treatment can be a new therapeutic option for said pathology. The participation of 60 patients is expected, who will be divided randomly in equal proportions into two groups. Treatment groups: Group A (30 patients): medication administered topically. Group B (30 patients): placebo with characteristics equal to the drug under investigation. Subsequently, a review will be carried out 15 days later to assess the status of the intervention performed and a final visit 3 months after surgery. Neither the doctor nor the patient will know what treatment they will receive during the study. You will have a 50% chance of receiving the placebo, which will have the same characteristics in terms of color, texture and consistency; but it does not contain the pharmacologically active substance and therefore it is not expected to have an effect. Before the start of the study, it will be assessed if you accomplish the criteria of the study, you will be informed of all doubts and you must sign the patient informed consent form. You will need to attend study visits: Your participation in the study will last approximately 3.5 months. Throughout which you will have to go four times to the University Dental Clinic. On the 1st visit, the treatment group will be assigned together with dental extraction and application of the medication or placebo for 15 min. and you will have to rinse 3 times for 1 min. with sterile saline solution. A cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scan will be performed and photos will be taken. The 2nd visit will take place after 15 days where the suture stitches will be removed and a review will be carried out where photos will be taken to assess the evolution. At approximately 3.5 months, both the imaging test (CBCT) and the photos will be repeated.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Buccal and lingual vertical and horizontal bone socket dimensions will be measured by CBCT. | Day 1 | Three dimensional volumetric changes in hard tissue will be measured in (mm). |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Record any adverse effect and their severity related to the Soludronate® or its use. | 1 day to 3 months | First follow-up: assessments to be performed during the visit: control, suture removal, photos and evaluation of the surgical site at 15 days. Second follow-up: optional visit, 1,5 months after the treatment. If the patient shows abnormal redness, swelling or pain in the first follow up, patient will be scheduled for a second visit. End of the study: assessments to be performed during the visit: CBCT scan and intraoral photos at 3,5 months approximately after the treatment visit. |
