Not Applicable

• Conditions: Bone Resorption Disorder

• Registration Number: NCT03731416
• Lead Sponsor: Cairo University

Brief Summary

This study is aiming to evaluate clinically, radiographically ,and histologically GBR using collagen membrane in combination with a mixture of ABBM and autogenous particulated bone compared to collagen membrane with ABBM in atrophied anterior maxilla.

Detailed Description

Guided bone regeneration (GBR) has been proposed as a possible alternative for patients with severe horizontal bone atrophy, to overcome the drawback of bone blocks techniques.6,8 To protect and prevent the invasion of the clot by nonosteogenic cells, maintaining an adequate biological space for the regeneration of bone tissue, the use of resorbable membranes, in combination with autologous or heterologous particulate bone have been proposed. Expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (e-PTFE) membranes are the most used non-resorbable membranes with the longest published follow-up, considering them the gold standard in the reconstructions of major horizontal bone defects. However, a second surgery is needed to remove them and they may get exposed in the oral cavity and contaminate with possible infection and graft loss. Conversely, the resorbable membranes most advantages are an ability to merge with the host tissues, as well as a rapid resorption in case of exposure, thereby reducing the risk of bacterial contamination. Resorbable membranes in combination with particulated anorganic bovine bone (ABB) can be used for the augmentation of horizontally deficient ridges. Particulated autogenous bone can be mixed with bone substitutes to add more osteogenic factors.
