Osteogenic Potential of Cissus Quadrangularis Alveolar Ridge Distraction

Phase 2
Completed
Conditions
Distraction of Bone
Dental Implant
Interventions
Drug: Cissus Quadrangularis
Registration Number
NCT04669795
Lead Sponsor
Al-Azhar University
Brief Summary

Deficient alveolar mandibular ridge corrected distraction osteogenesis to facilitate dental implant placement. Patients grouped into 2 groups: one group received Cissus quadrangularis during the consolidation period, and the other group received placebo.

Detailed Description

OPGs were taken immediately after distractor placement, at end of activation period, at 1st,2nd month of consolidation period, and at end of consolidation period. Change in bone height was evaluated immediately after distractor placement, at end of activation and end of consolidation periods.

CBCT were taken immediately after implant installation, and 6 months later to evaluate change bone density and marginal bone level about the dental implant.

histological evaluation was done by biopsy obtained, by trephine bur, from implant site during its preparation. The bone biopsy fixed in 4% formalin solution for 7 days, rinsed in water, and dehydrated in sequent phases of ethanol (70, 80, 90, and 100%) and then specimens were stained by hematoxylin- eosin for microscopic evaluation.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Relapse after distraction3 months from beginning of consolidation period

Relapse evaluated on panorama

Bone gain after distractionimmediately at end of distractor activation

Increase in bone height after distraction

Crestal bone loss around dental implant6 months from implant placement

By using cone beam CT, crestal bone level around implant evaluated by measuring a distance from implant apex to a point on dental implant where bone contacts the dental implant mesially and distally. then average of bone loss round each implant was obtained.

Bone density around dental implant6 months from implant placement

By using cone beam CT, bone density assessed around dental implant at crestal, middle, and apical portions then average was obtained
