Effect of Citric Acid Demineralization on Autogenous Bone Blocks Consolidation in Humans

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Alveolar Bone Atrophy; Bone Resorption

• Registration Number: NCT03357068
• Lead Sponsor: University of Sao Paulo

Brief Summary

This study evaluates the effect of citric acid demineralization in autogenous bone blocks consolidation. Half of participants will receive citric acid treatment at the bone block and recipient site. Other half will receive no demineralization treatment.

Detailed Description

Autogenous bone grafts are indicated in areas where there is not enough bone height and/or width for implant installation. Treatment of bone surfaces with citric acid, promote a slight demineralization on surface that mimic natural processes of bone demineralization by osteoclasts. Thus, this treatment could accelerate the process of autogenous bone block consolidation to its recipient site.
