About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Modified Shell Technique Versus Onlay Bone Graft for Reconstruction of Atrophic Anterior Maxilla

Amount of bone volume and (width and height):

Will be measured using linear measurements from CBCT after 6 month from implant insertion.

Will be measured using Histometric analysis of bone area percent sampling from recipient site after 6 months.

Read the detailed description

Augmentation of insufficient bone volume can be brought about by different methods, including, particulate and block grafting materials, Guided Bone Regeneration with or without growth and differentiation factors, ridge splitting, expansion and distraction osteogenesis, either alone or in combination. These techniques may be used for horizontal/vertical ridge augmentation

Autograft is considered as the Gold Standard for bone transplantation and various studies have shown efficacy for it. It is osteogenic, osteoconductive and osteoinductive. Autografts can be derived from extra oral source (iliac crest, ribs) or intraoral source (chin, ramus). They can be used in block or particulate form. Corticocancellous block grafts are preferred because of enhanced revascularization of the cancellous portion, and mechanical support and rigidity of the cortical portion, which ensures optimal ridge augmentation.

Fouad Khoury presented a three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction technique for atrophic ridges and complicated vertical bone defects using mandibular bone block graft "the Gold standard". There are several possibilities for augmentation of bone volume depending on situation, indication and adequate diagnosis; the treatment options can be extended from minimally invasive procedures with locally harvested bone grafts in local anesthesia, to very sophisticated grafting techniques for 3D bone reconstruction with extra oral harvested bone grafts. Khoury reported that his ascending ramus grafts is almost 5 times more than chin grafts

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing modified shell technique in people with Implant Complication, run by Cairo University.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Sep 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Histomorphometric (time frame: 3 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 10 Sep 2018.
