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 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Patients with horizontal atrophied maxillary ridge (thin ridge) less than 4mm.
  • All ages and both sexes were included in this study.
  • Patients should be free from any systemic disease that may affect normal healing of bone, and predictable outcome.
  • Patients with physical and psychological tolerance

Who cannot join

  • Patients with high risk systemic diseases like uncontrolled diabetes mellitus. As uncontrolled diabetes mellitus has a negative impact on normal bone healing. 8

About this study

Official title: Assessment of Guided Bone Regeneration in Augmentation of Horizontally Atrophic Maxillary Ridge Using Collagen Membrane Versus Using Titanium Mesh: a Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial

this study is aiming to Assess postoperative complications and bone quality and quantity in augmentation of horizontally atrophic maxillary ridge using a 1:1 mixture of autograft and xenograft particulate bone covered with collagen membrane with the new Sausage technique™ versus using the same mixture covered with titanium mesh.

Read the detailed description

patients with atrophic maxillary ridge < 4 mm will be selected in this study for augmentation for future implant placement. The full thickness flap will be elevated including one extra tooth on each side of the edentulous area or if completely edentulous 5 mm on each side.. the bone bed will be prepared by cleaning any debris and Multiple decortication holes will be performed with a 2.0 mm round bur. the harvested bone from the chin is then mixed with the xenograft with ratio 1:1 and then put on the recipient site and will be covered with a collagen membrane with the Sausage technique (intervention group) and the other group the graft will be covered with titanium mesh (control group).

flap is repositioned and sutured. followup for 6 months and then CBCT is done. Reopening after 6 months, core biopsy is taken by a 2 mm thickness trephine from the healed augmented bone at the site of implant placement and will be sent for histomorphometric analysis and the bone thickness (buccolingual ) dimension is measured using a caliper and from the CBCT (cone beam CT) the bone width gain will be calculates and recorded.

postoperative complications( infection, wound dehiscence or membrane exposure) will be monitored and recorded.

Being tested
titanium mesh, collagen membrane (Sausage technique)

What participants receive

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

  • titanium meshProcedure or surgery

    the non resorbable titanium mesh is used to fix the 1:1 mixture of autograft and xenograft particulate bone on the severely atrophies maxillary ridge.

  • collagen membrane (Sausage technique)Procedure or surgery

    the resorbable collagen membrane is used to fix the 1:1 mixture of autograft and xenograft particulate bone on the severely atrophies maxillary ridge.

What is being measured

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

  1. membrane exposure

    clinical postoperative complications as flap dehiscence and membrane exposure into the oral cavity, its a binary outcome (yes/No) examined and recorded by the investigator.

    Measured: within 3 weeks

  2. infection

    suppuration collection related to the membrane and flap, its a binary outcome (yes/No) examined and recorded by the investigator.

    Measured: 10 days

  3. inflammation

    redness and tenderness of the flap, its a binary outcome (yes/No) examined and recorded by the investigator.

    Measured: 10 days

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. bone width gain

    the amount of bone gained( in millimeter) after augmentation compared to the initial ridge thickness measured clinically using a caliper 2 mm below the crest of the ridge, and radiographically using the Planmeca Promax 3D CBCT unit which will be viewed on planmeca romexis software to calculate the measures needed in millimeter by the outcome assessor.

    Measured: at 6 months

  2. bone quality

    histomorphometric analysis of the bone biopsy taken from the augmented bone to show the quality of the formed bone and the percentage of every type of tissue formed in the specimen taken( unit is area percentage %)

    Measured: at 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing titanium mesh and collagen membrane (Sausage technique) in people with Horizontal Ridge Deficiency, run by Cairo University.

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 4 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 Aug 2018. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

membrane exposure (time frame: within 3 weeks). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 Aug 2018.
