Autogenous Ramus Bone Block Harvesting With Piezosurgery

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Alveolar Bone Resorption
Interventions
Device: Bone harvesting from ramus area with piezosurgery for autogenous bone augmentation
Device: Bone harvesting from ramus area with conventional burs for autogenous bone augmentation
Registration Number
NCT05548049
Lead Sponsor
Marmara University
Brief Summary

The aim of this randomized prospective clinical trial was to evaluate the outcome of bone block harvesting from the retromolar region using the Conventional and Piezosurgery Method.

The study was planned on 19 patients (13F,6M) on 31 donor sites. In patients with bilateral bone harvesting, the donor site and the surgical method to be used were determined by the randomization protocol, while in patients with bone harvesting from a single site, the donor site was determined by considering parameters such as proximity to the operation site and distance to the inferior alveolar nerve. Clinical parameters such as operation time, pain, swelling, trismus, nerve damage were evaluated.

Piezosurgery GroupBone harvesting from ramus area with piezosurgery for autogenous bone augmentationIn the experimental group, a piezosurgical device was used to harvest the bone block from the ramus area.
Conventional GroupBone harvesting from ramus area with conventional burs for autogenous bone augmentationIn the experimental group, a conventional burr was used to harvest the bone block from the ramus area.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Osteotomy timeIntraoperative

The time from the start of the osteotomy to the luxation of the bone block was measured with the help of a digital stopwatch.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change in pain7 days

Postoperative pain was assessed using a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) ranging from the absence of pain (score 0) to the most severe pain imaginable

Operation timeIntraoperative

The total time from the first incision of the operation site to the last suture was measured with the help of a digital stopwatch as the operation time.

Change in Mouth opening7 days

The distance between the mesio-incisal corners of the upper and lower central incisors was measured with the help of a ruler when the mouth opening was at its maximum.

Change in Oral Health-related Quality of Life14 days

Evaluated by OHIP-14

Change in facial swelling7 days

With the technique described by Neupert ; Angle of mandible-tragus Angle of mandible-lateral canthus of eye Mandible corner-nose wing Angle of mandible oral-commissures Measurements were made with a tape measure from 5 points, with the mandible corner-pogonion.
