Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 20 to 60 years
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult

Who may be able to join

  • All patients should have partially edentulous ridge (missing upper one or two neighboring anterior teeth or premolars) of the maxilla. The edentulous area should require horizontal bone augmentation procedures owing to lack of sufficient residual bone.
  • All patients should not have any particular medical history (medically free) according to Burket health medical history questionnaire (Glick et al.2008).
  • All patients should not have any known contraindication to oral surgery.

Who cannot join

  • Smokers will be excluded from our study.
  • Patients with poor oral hygiene or not willing to perform oral hygiene measures.
  • Patients who showed residual infections in the edentulous area or apparent infection in a neighboring tooth.
  • Patients with systemic diseases such as diabetes mellitus and hemorrhagic disorders, patients receiving intravenous bisphosphonate therapy or systemic corticosteroid treatment.
  • Patients with occlusal discrepancies will be excluded.
  • Vulnerable groups (as pregnant and lactating females, and decisionaly impaired individuals) will be excluded from the study.

About this study

Official title: Alveolar Ridge Augmentation Following Self-Inflating Soft Tissue Expander: A Randomized Controlled Clinical and Histological Study

The objective of this study will be to assess and compare between sub-periosteal self- inflating osmotic tissue expanders used as preparatory surgery before alveolar ridge augmentation and periosteal releasing incision using autogenous onlay block bone graft.

The assessment and comparison will be based on:

  1. Change in edentulous alveolar ridge in bucco-lingual dimension after alveolar ridge augmentation.
  2. Quantity of the soft tissue obtained after soft tissue expansion.
Read the detailed description
  • Sixteen patients will be selected from the outpatient clinic of the department of, Oral medicine Periodontology, and oral diagnosis, Faculty of Dentistry, Ain Shams University.
  • Three surgeries will be carried out for group I patient; the first is placement of soft tissue expander, the second surgery is bone grafting and placement of collagen membrane for ridge augmentation while the third (re-entry surgery) is implant placement in a routine fashion. two surgeries will be carried out for group II patient; the first is surgery is bone grafting for ridge augmentation while the second (re-entry surgery) is implant placement in a routine fashion.

-Measurements and evaluation of edentulous ridge will be done by CBCT

What participants receive

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

  • soft tissue expansionProcedure or surgery

    Also called osmed

    Three surgeries will be carried out for group I patients:

    • Soft tissue expansion (1st surgery); at baseline
    • Alveolar ridge augmentation (2nd surgery); after five weeks
    • Implant surgery (3rd surgery); after six months
Study groups in NCT03153995
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
sub-periosteal soft tissue expansionExperimentalEight patients will receive osmotic hydrogel expanders prior to bone augmentation procedures. All expanders will be placed in sub-periosteal positions using the tunnel technique.
Receives: Procedure: soft tissue expansion
periosteal releasing incisionActive comparatorperiosteal releasing incision will be performed for Eight patients during ridge augmentation surgery .
Receives: Procedure: soft tissue expansion

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in ridge dimensional alteration by CBCT

    The ridge width will be compared between the two treatment groups by CBCT

    Measured: baseline, 6 months after surgery, 3 months after implant surgery

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Soft tissue volume gain

    Soft tissue volume gain will be assessed by volumetric analysis

    Measured: baseline, 4 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing soft tissue expansion in people with Horizontal Ridge Deficiency, run by Ain Shams University at 1 site in Egypt.

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 6 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 1 Dec 2020. 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 Egypt. 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?

Change in ridge dimensional alteration by CBCT (time frame: baseline, 6 months after surgery, 3 months after implant surgery). 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 1 Dec 2020.
