About this study

Official title: Clinical and Radiological Evaluation Using Bone Graft Materials in Augmentation of Alveolar Bone Deficiency in Bilateral Posterior Mandible: A Randomized Controlled Study

This prospective split-mouth randomized controlled trial compared horizontal alveolar ridge augmentation using alloplastic bone graft versus xenograft, both performed simultaneously with implant placement using the decompression technique in the posterior mandible. Outcomes included postoperative edema, pain, soft tissue healing, and horizontal bone gain at 6 months assessed by CBCT.

Being tested

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Horizontal Alveolar Bone Gain

    Change in horizontal alveolar bone width measured by CBCT at baseline and 6 months

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Postoperative Edema

    Facial edema assessed by measuring three surface distances (lateral orbital rim to mandibular angle, tragus to oral commissure, tragus to pogonion) at baseline, day 2, and day 7

    Measured: 7 days

  2. Postoperative Pain

    Postoperative pain assessed using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS); score range 0-10; higher scores indicate worse pain. VAS scores recorded daily for 7 days

    Measured: 7 days

  3. Soft Tissue Healing

    Wound healing assessed using the Landry wound healing index; score range 1-5; higher scores indicate better healing. Landry wound healing index assessed at postoperative days 2 and 7

    Measured: 7 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Alloplastic bone graft and Xenograft in people with Alveolar Bone Loss and Edentulous Jaw, run by Ege University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 7 inclusion and 12 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Jun 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye). Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Horizontal Alveolar Bone Gain (time frame: 6 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 3 Jun 2026.
