Trial summary

Guided bone regeneration (GBR) has been the most frequently used option to treat bone ridge deficiencies, allowing to restore such defects in order to place bone-integrated dental implants. A few reports exist in the literature about the augmentation of mandibular horizontal ridge defects before implant placement. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Horizontal Guide Bone Regeneration With or Without Shock Waves: a Randomized Clinical Trial

Guided bone regeneration (GBR) has been the most frequently used option to treat bone ridge deficiencies, allowing to restore such defects in order to place bone-integrated dental implants. A few reports exist in the literature about the augmentation of mandibular horizontal ridge defects before implant placement. Published studies show a large variability of reported results regarding horizontal bone augmentation. This can be due to the use of different types of membranes and bone graft materials or a combination thereof. Likewise, an important percentage of graft reabsorption is reported. Although this technique is very much used, an important number of cases must be re-treated or require placing bone graft during implant installation surgery. Techniques are required in order to improve vascularization of the grafts during GBR technique with the aim to improve their clinical success. Recent studies show great interest on the application of shock waves in oral diseases associated to infection and bone loss. The shock waves are acoustic waves that have effects on human biological tissues, stimulating the neo-angiogenesis and the development of a hyper cellularity, showing repairing characteristics on tissues, and starting regenerative processes as a result of metabolism improvement and the increase of local circulation. The extra corporeal shock waves can activate the osteoblasts and their precursors and they have been widely used in orthopaedics for repairing bone fractures. Several clinical studies have shown the effectiveness and safety of shock wave therapy in myocardial revascularization, lithotripsy, cellulitis, volar fasciitis, osteonecrosis, bone fractures, and complicated injuries of soft tissues. No clinical studies exist that assess its effect on guided bone regeneration. The evidence related to the positive effects of the use of shock waves on bone regeneration suggests this treatment as a novelty and a promising therapy that combined with the GBR technique for the treatment of horizontal defects could have an important impact on the potentialization of its clinical effectiveness.

Read the detailed description

General Objective:

Assessing the efficacy of horizontal augmentation and percentage of reabsorption of bone graft material in the technique of guided bone regeneration (GBR), combined with the shock wave therapy (SWT) in the horizontal bone reconstruction of mandibular alveolar ridges.

Type of study:

Triple blind randomized clinical trial

Population and sample:

Twenty six patients of university and private clinical practice, who require augmentation of horizontal ridge in the mandible for back placing of an implant, and their compliance with inclusion and exclusion criteria, will be assessed.

Type of analysis:

Central trend and dispersion (medium and standard deviation) measurements will be obtained. Type of data distribution using Shapiro Wilk.

t-student test between no related groups for assessing bone augmentation. t-paired test between related groups for assessing pre and post treatment within the same group.

t test for proportion difference, in order to assess the percentage of reabsorption of bone graft, bone density, bone quality, within a same group.

Fisher, group comparison.

A multiple linear regression model will be developed in order to establish if the difference among groups is influenced by the initial width of the ridge and the thickness of the soft tissue.

In case of not following a normal distribution, no parametrical tests for related and no related groups and logistic regression, will be used.

The frequencies of adverse effects in each group will be obtained, and compared to the Chi2 test or the Fisher exact test.

All the analyses will be made with significance level of 5% (p< 0.05).

Effect measurements: Relative Risk (RR), Attributable Risk Reduction (ARR), and Necessary Number to be Treated (NNT). The augmentation of horizontal volume that allows the installation of a ≥4.1 mm implant will be taken as cutting point reference of clinical success.

Expected Results:

  • Establishing the effect of the shock wave therapy, in combination with guided bone regeneration, on the improvement of bone augmentation and the decrease of bone graft reabsorption.
  • Establishing the effect of shock wave therapy, in combination with guided bone regeneration, on the improvement of bone quality and density, as well as on decreasing the adverse effects.
  • Acquiring new knowledge in the area of bone reconstruction.
  • Presentation of results in local and international congresses.
  • Formation of human resource; mastery graduation paper on Dentistry Science Master.

What participants receive

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

  • ROGProcedure or surgery

    Bone width augmentation using bone grafting and membrane non cross linking.

  • ROG & ESWTProcedure or surgery

    Before the bone width augmentation using bone grafting and membrane non cross linking, the patient was received ESWT (Extracorporeal shockwave therapy).

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in Bone width (in mm), as assessed using (CBCT) on a partially edentulous patients after ROG+ESWT.

    Using specialized software in dental implantology, measurements are taken in the tomographies taken of each volunteer patient, in order to determine the increase in bone volume in the intervention, and its reabsorption after the healing process.

    Measured: Patients will be assessed prior the ROG, two weeks after ROG, and 6 months after ROG in order to determinate actual situation, the situation after the ROG placement and the reabsorption of ROG material.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing ROG and ROG & ESWT in people with Bone Regeneration, run by Universidad El Bosque, Bogotá at 1 site in Colombia.

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 9 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 24 Dec 2018. 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 Colombia. 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 Bone width (in mm), as assessed using (CBCT) on a partially edentulous patients after ROG+ESWT. (time frame: Patients will be assessed prior the ROG, two weeks after ROG, and 6 months after ROG in order to determinate actual situation, the situation after the ROG placement and the reabsorption of ROG material.). 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?
