The "Open Wound Bone Augmentation Concept" With Amnion-Chorion Membrane

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Horizontal Ridge Deficiency
Interventions
Procedure: Guided bone regeneration (GBR)
Registration Number
NCT05013580
Lead Sponsor
University of Michigan
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to compare two bone graft wound healing techniques; an open wound healing approach versus the standard closed wound healing approach.

Detailed Description

Open wound healing approach (experimental technique): the wound where the graft was attached to the bone will be filled with a type of tissue (the amnion-chorion membrane) taken from a placenta (the tissue sac that surrounds an embryo) and will be left partially open to heal.

Closed wound healing approach (standard technique): the wound where the graft was attached to the bone will be filled with collagen tissue (processed bone grafts from donors) and stitched closed while it heals.

20 patients needing more bone before placing a dental implant will be recruited for this trial. Patients will be randomized to either the test (open wound healing approach) or control (closed wound healing approach) group.
