Clinical Trial: Ovate Pontic Versus Essix Provisional After Tooth Extraction and Alveolar Ridge Preservation (Pontic-Essix)

U.S., Aug. 7 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07748871) titled 'Ovate Pontic Versus Essix Provisional After Tooth Extraction and Alveolar Ridge Preservation (Pontic-Essix)' on July 31.

Brief Summary: This randomized controlled trial compares two provisional socket-sealing concepts following single non-molar tooth extraction and alveolar ridge preservation: a fixed, tooth-supported, 3D-printed ovate pontic provisional restoration providing active soft tissue support (test) versus a removable Essix-type provisional restoration without intentional soft tissue contact combined with a porcine collagen matrix seal (control). Both groups receive alveolar ridge preservation using a deproteinized bovine b...
