  Purpose

Simvastatin has been reported to promote osteoblastic activity and inhibit osteoclastic activity by enhancing the expression of BMP2. There have been many studies demonstrating the bone-promoting effect of local application various animal models including after application into socket of teeth in a rat. the purpose of the study is to investigate the effect of slow release topical simvastatin in socket of mandibular teeth on bone remodeling in the socket

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • bone height and density in former socket [ Time Frame: 3 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    measured on CT


Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • bone mineralization [ Time Frame: 3 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    histology from bone in former socket


Estimated Enrollment: 20
Study Start Date: May 2010
Estimated Primary Completion Date: October 2010 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Arms Assigned Interventions
Experimental: study group
simvastatin will be inserted to sockets
 Drug: Simvastatin
10 mg simvastatin, slow release in socket of extracted tooth (single application only)
No Intervention: control
sockets will be left to healing without material in socket
 Drug: Simvastatin
10 mg simvastatin, slow release in socket of extracted tooth (single application only)

Detailed Description:

after extraction of mandibular single root teeth 10 mg of slow release simvastatin would be inserted to the socket. observation will be at 1 week, 4 weeks and 3 months.after 3 months the patients will have dental CT as done routinely in our clinic before placing dental implants and the bone density and height will be measured on this data. during the procedure of inserting a dental implant a trephine will be taken for histology.

Accepts Healthy Volunteers:   Yes
Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  • need extraction of single root tooth
  • intend to have prosthetic implant in place of extraction
