U.S., April 17 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07535060) titled 'Pontic Site Development With or Without Fixed Partial Denture' on April 06.
Brief Summary: This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of soft tissue augmentation using connective tissue graft (CTG) in pontic site defects. It compares clinical and volumetric outcomes between sites with an existing fixed partial denture (FDP) and sites without an FDP.
Following tooth extraction, alveolar ridge resorption often leads to soft tissue defects that can compromise esthetics, function, and prosthetic outcomes. CTG is considered the gold standard for soft tissue augmentation due to its predictable improvement in tissue thickness and stab...
