Vertical Bone Gain and Neurosensory Affection in Computer Guided vs Conventional Sandwich Osteotomy

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Bone Loss
Registration Number
NCT05666414
Lead Sponsor
Future University in Egypt
Brief Summary

The aim of this study was to assess the efficiency of the computer-guided interpositional sandwich osteotomy for the vertical bone gain and effects on vital structures (inferior dental nerve bundle) compared to free hand interpositional osteotomies.

Detailed Description

in this research a full digital sandwich osteotomy protocol was conducted to be compared with the conventional protocol. the investigators were seeking to determine the significance of using surgical computer software in sandwich interpositional bone grafting at atrophied posterior mandibles and how efficiently can it affect this technique.
