Trial summary

The purpose of this study is to document and evaluate how a bone graft material (Healos®) can help rebuild bone width. Dental implants can only be placed when enough bone is found and this bone graft may help to rebuild bone width for dental implant placement. Read more about this study

About this study

The purpose of this study is to document and evaluate how a bone graft material (Healos®) can help rebuild bone width. Dental implants can only be placed when enough bone is found and this bone graft may help to rebuild bone width for dental implant placement. The ultimate goal of this study is to evaluate how this graft material can help bone healing.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Alveolar ridge augmentationProcedure or surgery

    Also called Healos

    Under local anesthesia, full-thickness mucoperiosteal flaps will be elevated, followed by degranulation, and collection of all clinical measurements. Crestal and vertical releasing cuts will be performed using diamond-coated discs on the edentulous ridge in need of augmentation. A sequence of bone chisels and osteotomes will be used to split the alveolar ridge in half until a desirable width for implant placement is achieved. Healos® will then be inserted between both osseous plates. Fixation screws will be used as needed to stabilize the expanded alveolar ridge. Collagen barrier membranes (Ossix Plus) will be used to cover the osseous wound. Flaps will be approximated to achieve primary wound closure.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Alveolar ridge augmentation in people with Dental Implantation, run by William Giannobile at 1 site in United States.

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 6 inclusion and 7 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The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Dec 2015. 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 United States. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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 (width) bone gain or loss in millimeters. (time frame: 18 weeks). 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 NCT01154868, which also lists 11 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 14 Dec 2015.
