About this study

Immediate reconstruction and dental rehabilitation of maxillofacial ablative defects with patient specific reconstruction plates, dental implants, and immediate load provisional screw-retained prosthesis will improve patient short and long term outcomes and improve patient quality of life. Utilizing current technologic advances, patients undergoing large ablative procedures for benign head and neck pathology can now not only have immediate bone and soft tissue reconstruction, but dental rehabilitation as well. Using virtual surgical planning, patient specific selective laser melded reconstruction plates, and dental implants, a screw-retained provisional dental restoration can be fabricated and placed during a one-stage procedure with minimal to no intra-operative prosthetic work required.

Read the detailed description

The primary goal of any reconstructive procedure is to restore a patient's natural form and function. The new techniques implemented in this study will demonstrate an approach that allows immediate return of the patient's premorbid state in one procedure. The investigators have demonstrated success with a small cohort of patients, and published a recent case study regarding this new technique. This study is meant to build upon the investigators experiences and advance their process and treatment of these patients. With a larger patient population to study, greater data can be obtained, with the ultimate goal of establishing this treatment as a new standard of care for patients with large ablative defects requiring reconstruction.

Patients with benign, large tumors requiring surgical resection with free tissue transfer reconstruction involving the maxilla and mandible will be included in the study. All of the patients will undergo the following pre-operative protocol:

  • CT Maxillofacial Region
  • CTA
  • Dental impression (intra-oral scan and/or impressions)
  • Virtual surgical planning
  • Patient specific plate fabrication
  • Resection and flap harvest osteotomy guides
  • Fabrication of screw-retained provisional prosthesis

Surgical treatment protocol involves:

  • Resection of benign tumor using osteotomy guides
  • Reconstruction with free tissue (osseous free flap) transfer using osteotomy guides
  • Placement of dental implants (minimum of three) using integrated osteotomy and implant placement guide
  • Placement of provisional screw-retained prosthesis (all while flap is still pedicled to vascular supply)
  • Inset of flap/implant/prosthesis/custom plate construct
  • Vascular anastomosis and closure

Immediate post-operative management will include a 5-to-7 day post-operative hospital stay and a post-operative CT scan evaluation. Long-term evaluation of patients will include routine clinical exams and cone beam CT scans to evaluate flap and implant survival. Patients, for the purpose of this study, will be followed for one year following placement of final dental prosthesis (18-24 months post-operatively).

What participants receive

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

  • NobelActiveDevice

    NobelActive's expanding tapered implant body condenses bone gradually while the apex with drilling blades enables a smaller osteotomy. These features help to achieve high primary stability in demanding situations, such as soft bone or extraction sockets. NobelActive enables immediate implant placement and Immediate Function where it might otherwise be challenging.

  • KLS Martin Mandibular Reconstruction ImplantDevice

    The prefabricated prosthesis will be secured onto the implants using non-engaging multiunit abutments with screws, followed by fixation of the patient-specific plate to the fibula with monocortical screws. The previously used cutting guides are fixated with the screw locations corresponding to the screw locations of the custom plate. This allows for accurate positioning and fixation of the custom construct of the plate and fibula without the need for intermaxillary fixation (IMF).

What is being measured

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

  1. Time to final dental rehabilitation

    Time elapsed until final dental rehabilitation is reached.

    Measured: 6-8 months

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Total operating room time

    The total time taken in operating room for a procedure

    Measured: 6-8 hours

  2. Surgical outcome accuracy (CT imaging)

    Accuracy of the proposed surgical outcome assessed via CT scan imaging

    Measured: 5-10 days post-op

  3. Implant survival - Short term

    Six month survival rate of the dental implant

    Measured: 6 months post operatively

  4. Implant survival - Long term

    Long term survival rate of the dental implant

    Measured: one year post operatively

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing NobelActive and KLS Martin Mandibular Reconstruction Implant in people with Maxillofacial Injuries, run by University of Florida.

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 2 inclusion and 4 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 17 Jul 2019. 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 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?

Time to final dental rehabilitation (time frame: 6-8 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 17 Jul 2019.
