Registration Number
NCT04190576
Lead Sponsor
Krishnadevaraya College of Dental Sciences & Hospital
Brief Summary

The present study is a human, prospective, randomised controlled clinical trial conducted to explore the outcome of a minimally invasive ridge augmentation technique with and without low level laser therapy. The trial is in accordance with the Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials (CONSORT) criteria, 2010.

Detailed Description

Twenty healthy individuals satisfying the inclusion and exclusion criteria were recruited for the study. A detailed, thorough medical and dental history was obtained and each patient was subjected to comprehensive clinical and radiological examination. All patients were informed about the nature of the study, the surgical procedure involved, potential benefits and risks associated with the surgical procedure and written informed consent were obtained from all patients.

All the patients were treated with subperiosteal minimally invasive aesthetic ridge augmentation technique. the test group of ten were given low level laser therapy as an adjunct. The clinical and radiographic parameters were recorded at baseline and six months postoperatively.
