Trial summary

This study will involve placing donor bone into the back of lower jaw then covering with a newly designed titanium mesh. The mesh will then stay in the mouth for 4 months before it will be removed. Implants will be placed in the newly formed bone. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Vertical Ridge Augmentation Using Titanium Mesh and Allograft in Posterior Mandible: A Feasibility Study

This study will involve placing donor bone into the back of lower jaw then covering with a newly designed titanium mesh. The mesh will then stay in the mouth for 4 months before it will be removed. Implants will be placed in the newly formed bone.

The goal of this study is to test how well using a newly designed titanium mesh and bone particles can grow bone in the back of the lower jaw. The investigators are also checking if the newly formed bone will stay around implants that will have been in use for 12 months.

Inclusion Criteria

  • Patients are at least 18 years old
  • At least two adjacent back teeth in the lower jaw are missing
  • No medical contraindication to dental surgery
  • Inadequate vertical ridge height at edentulous region (less than 10mm)

Exclusion Criteria

  • Unstable systemic diseases or conditions that would compromise the healing potential
  • Patients with osseous metabolic disorders (e.g., osteoporosis, Paget's disease etc.)
  • Patients who are pregnant or expect to get pregnant
  • Patients with unstable dental disease (e.g. caries and periodontitis) in the surgical sextant

What participants receive

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

  • Bone/MeshDevice

    A titanium mesh (Ti-Mesh) that is more porous than other materials will be placed in order to hold a spot for the bone particles to grow.

What is being measured

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

  1. Bone Height

    Diameter of the bone measured from the alveolar crest to the inferior alveolar nerve after the grafting procedures from CBCT images.

    Measured: 5 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Bone/Mesh in people with Alveolar Bone Loss, run by University of Michigan.

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 9 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 21 Nov 2023. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 19 Apr 2016). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Bone Height (time frame: 5 months). 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 NCT02255149, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 21 Nov 2023.
