GBR and Autogenous Bone Chips
- Conditions
- Bone Resorption
- Interventions
- Procedure: Guided bone regeneration with or without autologous bone
- Registration Number
- NCT03946020
- Lead Sponsor
- Universitaire Ziekenhuizen KU Leuven
- Brief Summary
This study will be an open, prospective, split-mouth, randomised controlled clinical trial. A total of 14 patients searching for oral implant treatment and where a GBR procedure is indicated per implant treatment will be enrolled.
All patients have to fulfill all of the inclusion criteria and none of the exclusion criteria. From all patients clinical photos will be taken.
Two sites within a patient will be randomly allocated to the 'autologous bone chips and DBBM or 'DBBM particles alone' group.
The study will be 1 year follow-up study comprising 9 visits
- Detailed Description
A randomized controlled clinical trial (RCT) to compare the use of deproteinized bovine bone mineral (DBBM) in combination with autogenous bone chips versus a DBBM alone for the augmentation of bony dehiscence after dental implant placement
Objectives: 1. To test whether the use of DBBM is not inferior to the use of a combination of DBBM and autogenous bone chips for the filling of bony dehiscence around dental implants
2. To test whether a digital impression technique can be used to measure guided bone regeneration in comparison to conventional measurement with a dental probe and to compare these observations with cone beam CT images
Study Design: Randomized, controlled, single center, split mouth study
Study Population: Partially edentulous male or female patients in need for oral implants for a fixed prosthetic implant supported rehabilitation and where a Guide Bone Regeneration (GBR) procedure is indicated during implant treatment
Patient Number: 14
Duration of treatment: The time in the study for each patient will be 1 year and 4 months. The treatment period includes implant and abutment installation (in a twostage procedure), with a healing time of minimum 12 weeks before the start of the prosthetic phase.
Study devices: Implants: 3.3 / 4.1 / 4.8 mm Straumann Bone level implants Bone Graft: DBB (Demineralised Bovine Bone, Bio OSS) Measuring Devices: Cadent iTero \& software and Dental Probes Prosthetics: Straumann (computer aided design computer aided manufacturing (CAD CAM) crowns and abutments
Outcome variables:
Primary outcome variable: Difference in bone fill between DBB + bone chips vs. DBB without bone chips afer 24 weeks of submerged healing. The "ideal bone volume" as defined at base line (= 100%) will be compared to the received bone fill \[%\] at re-entry measured by a digital impression technique (before and after GBR, and at abutment connection, before and after raising a flap, and at the 1-year follow-up).
The method of digital impression will be compared to CBCT immediately after implant placemetn and 1 year and periodontal probing during surgery and re-enty
Secondary Parameters:

Group Intervention Description Augmentation with autologous bone + DBBM Guided bone regeneration with or without autologous bone A layer of autogenous bone chips was placed on the implant surface. On top of this a layer of DBBM (Bio-Oss™, Geistlich®, Wolhusen, Switserland) was placed, thereafter covered with a collagen membrane. Augmentation with DBBM Guided bone regeneration with or without autologous bone A layer of DBBM was placed on the implant surface and thereafter covered with a collagen membrane. Care was taken to make both augmentations as comparable as possible by weighting the used amount of graft material.
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Horizontal and vertical bone augmentation 16 weeks The change of dimension was assessed comparing Cone Beam Computed Tomography scans (CBCT)
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Success of grafting procedure as assessed by clinical interpretation 1 year Defined as no persistent pain in the grafted area and no suppuration or expulsion of graft material and implant survival rates being lack of mobility, absence of peri-implant radiolucency, absence of recurrent peri-implant infection with suppuration, absence of continuous or recurrent pain, and no structural failure of the implant
Marginal bone level alterations assessed on peri-apical radiographs using software (ImageJ) 1 year measured from a reference point (implant shoulder) to the most coronal point of BIC, both mesially and distally
