About this study

Official title: "Sandwich Osteotomy" Histologic Evaluation

The purpose of this study is to evaluate histologic bone remodeling after interpositional bone graft ("sandwich osteotomy" technique) using xenograft to fill the gap of the bone after moving and fixation it in the proper place.

Read the detailed description

Dental implant use for partially edentolous jaw is a predictable procedure with high success rate. However, implantation procedure requires sufficient bone support both vertically and horizontally, and sometimes there is bone defect that requires bone augmentation prior to dental implant insertion.

There are some bone augmentation techniques known and used for this purposes, including: guided bone regeneration (GBR), distraction osteogenesis, split osteotomy, onlay bone graft, and interpositional bone graft.

One of the techniques is the interpositional bone graft using "sandwich osteotomy" technique, in which a cut is made in the bone (one horizontal and two vertical) separating a mobile bone portion which is fixed (using bone plate) in its new "ideal" position. The gap between the moved bone and the remaining bone is filled with xenograft ("bio-oss"). There is no documentation in the literature about histological evaluation of the bone after this well known clinical procedure. Four months after the bone augmentation procedure - the fixating plate is moved out and dental implants inserted. The first bur of the implantation (the smallest in the diameter) will be a trephine from which a histologic slide will be taken for check. The continuous dental implants insertion is the normal protocol for dental implantation (widening the recipient hole with bur, and insertion of the implant), followed by rehabilitation by prosthodontics.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Dental Implants, run by Hadassah Medical Organization at 1 site in Israel.

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 2 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 8 Apr 2009. 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 Israel. 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?

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?

Histologic slide evaluation of the bone on the dental implantation time (time frame: implantation day (four months post bone augmentation)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00878332, which also lists 7 linked publications.

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 8 Apr 2009.
