About this trial
The design is a single blinded, dual comparative study of ultrasound versus micro-CT/LASCA in one study group. Up to a total of 140 subjects registered will be recruited. Subjects who are treatment planned for extraction of a hopeless tooth and socket augmentation with bone graft and are planned for a dental implant surgery. The socket will be evaluated before the extraction and multi-time points during healing until an implant is placed with various evaluation tools, including ultrasound.
Eligibility criteria
This trial accepts healthy volunteersQualifiers
Patients at least 18 years of age and have at least a tooth that is considered hopeless, planned for an extraction and a bone grafting procedure for subsequent dental implant surgery.
Disqualifiers
Patients not willing or not able to have an extraction, bone graft and subsequent implant surgery due to health, finance, or any other reasons.
Trial population
Subjects who are treatment planned for extraction of a hopeless tooth and socket augmentation with bone graft and are planned for a dental implant surgery.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
1
Primary Objective
To determine if bone graft maturation can be imaged by ultrasound. Bone healing by ultrasound will be given a scale and will be compared to the reference standard micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) of tissue core biopsy taken at implant surgery
Time frame
approximately 6 monthsSecondary outcomes
1
Secondary Objective
To determine if bone graft maturation can be imaged by ultrasound, by comparing to clinical healing appearances. A score will be given to ultrasound image and clinical outcome and the correlation will be evaluated.
