Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Bone Regeneration
Interventions
Procedure: split bone block technique
Registration Number
NCT04205591
Lead Sponsor
Universidad Complutense de Madrid
Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to evaluate the outcome of three-dimensional bone regeneration procedures using thin cortical porcine xenograft plates in combination with autogenous bone chips compared with thin autogenous cortical plates and autogenous bone chips.

Detailed Description

Materials and methods: 16 patients referred for implant placement and with insufficient bucco-lingual (BL) alveolar bone width (\<4 mm) were included in the study. Patients received autogenous cortical plates (ACP) of either porcine xenogeneic (XCP). The aforementioned groups were compared in regards to bone augmentation using General Estimating Equations (GEE) and logistic regression. Demographic data, trabecular bone density, graft site, postoperative pain, and time consuming were also analyzed

Recruitment & Eligibility

Status
COMPLETED
Sex
All
Target Recruitment
16
Inclusion Criteria
  • Patients were enrolled in the study on the basis of having insufficient bone height (<6mm), width (<3mm) or both, in either maxilla or mandible
Exclusion Criteria

Patients with severe systemic disease (American Society of Anesthesiology III or IV) were excluded from the study.

In addition, patients who were pregnant, or patients with diseases affecting bone, such as:Paget's disease, osteomalacia, diabetes, vitamin D deficiency, alcoholism, hyperthyroidism cancer or osteoporosis as well as those on medications that might affect bone metabolism, such as bisphosphonates, corticosteroids or antiepileptic medicaments were also excluded from the study.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Volume of bone augmentation4 months

Volume of bone augmentation of the surgical sites was measured in the postoperative parasagittal CT scans using a region of interest (ROI) containing the entire bone box regenerated area using the closed polygon tool of the OsiriX software. This measurements have been done in mm3

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Bone box time consumingMinutes

In the control group this was measured from the moment the osteotomy incision began with the MicroSaw until the bone block was completely removed, splitting cortical plates and fixation to the buccal and lingual/palatal side of the bone defect using osteosynthesis screws after it is filled with the bone chips harvested previously. In experimental group the time was measured from the open of porcine cortical plate envelope until the bone box was completely filled and sealed.

Postoperative pain4 months

The amount of pain was classified into three categories: heavy pain, with the patient taking more than eight painkillers (ibuprofen 400); moderate pain, when the patient took four to eight painkillers; or little pain, when the patient needed fewer than four painkillers.
