About this study

Official title: The Influence of Cortical Bone Perforation on Guided Bone Regeneration in Humans: A Randomized Clinical Trial

The purpose of this randomized clinical trial was to evaluate the effect of cortical bone decortication on the angiogenesis and osteogenesis of augmented ridge by GBR.

Read the detailed description

Background: The purpose of the current study was to evaluate the effect of cortical bone perforation on angiogenesis and osteogenesis of augmented ridge by guided bone regeneration.

Methods: Fourteen patients (mean age: 52) who were in need of dental implants at areas with osseous defects in the mandible were selected. In the test group (n=7), alveolar cortical bone at the area of regeneration was perforated using a #2 high speed round bur. No decortication of cortical bone was performed in the control group (n=7). Subsequently, defects were augmented by guided bone regeneration using resorbable membrane and bovine bone. After a healing period of 7 months, implant sites were created and trephine cores harvested for histological and histomorphometric analysis of the grafted areas.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Decortication in people with Alveolar Bone Loss, run by Mashhad University of Medical Sciences.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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 18 Apr 2016. 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?

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?

The amount of vital bone formation by histomorphometric analysis after cortical bone perforation (time frame: 7 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 18 Apr 2016.
