About this study

Official title: Examining Bone Quantity and Quality Following Standard Guided Bone Regeneration Procedures

Edentulism refers to a state of full or partial lack of teeth. This situation may interfere with essential functions such as mastication, speech and even appearance.

Dental implants inserted to the mandible or maxilla is a common treatment modality aiming to restore edentulus alveolar ridges by providing support and anchorage for removable or fixed dental prosthesis.There are cases which in addition to a lack of teeth suffer from lack of sufficient bone tissue volume to support the dental implant.A situation like this may originate from a variety of reasons such as residual bone atrophy, prior alveolar bone destruction due to periodontal disease and even a traumatic tooth extraction. In such cases, a routine alveolar bone augmentation is done to enable a dental implant installation at this site.Guided bone regeneration (GBR) is a widely used technique used to augment edentulus bone ridges. It relies on an inert membrane covering a bone substitute placed over the bony site requiring augmentation. The bone substitute provides a scaffold to alveolar regeneration by the host's osteoblasts while the membrane prevents unwanted epithelial cells to migrate to the bony defect area.

The investigators research is a aimed to preform a follow up after patients who already went through a GBR procedure and before inserting a dental implant. Patients answering the inclusion but not the exclusion criteria will go through an alveolar computerized tomography (C.T) done routinely before inserting dental implants.At the day of Dental implantation - residual bone left from the site of implantation (after preparing the site with a trephine bur) will be taken to a histological analysis. The results from the C.T and the histological examination will be analyzed for bone quantity (volume) and quality and will allow a comparison of bone characteristics obtained by using different routinely used bone substitutes.

What participants receive

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

Study groups in NCT01361321
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
patients after GBR procedureThe study will comprise of patients who already underwent a routine Guided Bone Regeneration (GBR) procedure in order to augment a bony ridge before dental implant insertion. The patients will be followed up in order to determine bone quality and quantity formed after the usage of routinely used bone substitutes during GBR procedure.

What is being measured

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

  1. Volume of the new bone formed after a GBR procedure

    Bone volume obtained following a GBR procedure will be detemined through a comparison of a 3 dimensional analysis of computed tomography images done before and after the GBR procedure.

    Measured: Volume of the new bone formed after the GBR procedure will be determined 6-7 months after the GBR procedure and before the insertion of dental implants.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Bone quality

    The collected bone sample will be subjected to histo-morphometric analysis in order to determine the size, shape and orientation of the bony trabeculae,the size and porosity of the bony cortex in addition to the new bone/ bone substitute ratio.

    Measured: Bone quality will be assesed through histological analysis that will be carried out at the time of implants insertion 7-8 months after the GBR procedure.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Alveolar Ridge Augmentation, 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 3 inclusion and 3 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 30 Nov 2017. 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?

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?

Volume of the new bone formed after a GBR procedure (time frame: Volume of the new bone formed after the GBR procedure will be determined 6-7 months after the GBR procedure and before the insertion of dental implants.). 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 30 Nov 2017.
