About this study

Official title: Bovine Derived Xenograft in Combination With Autogenous Bone Chips Versus Xenograft Alone for the Augmentation of Bony Dehiscences Around Oral Implants: a Randomized, Controlled, Split-mouth Clinical Trial

This study will be an open, prospective, split-mouth, randomised controlled clinical trial. A total of 14 patients searching for oral implant treatment and where a GBR procedure is indicated per implant treatment will be enrolled.

All patients have to fulfill all of the inclusion criteria and none of the exclusion criteria. From all patients clinical photos will be taken.

Two sites within a patient will be randomly allocated to the 'autologous bone chips and DBBM or 'DBBM particles alone' group.

The study will be 1 year follow-up study comprising 9 visits

Read the detailed description

A randomized controlled clinical trial (RCT) to compare the use of deproteinized bovine bone mineral (DBBM) in combination with autogenous bone chips versus a DBBM alone for the augmentation of bony dehiscence after dental implant placement

Objectives: 1. To test whether the use of DBBM is not inferior to the use of a combination of DBBM and autogenous bone chips for the filling of bony dehiscence around dental implants

  1. To test whether a digital impression technique can be used to measure guided bone regeneration in comparison to conventional measurement with a dental probe and to compare these observations with cone beam CT images

Study Design: Randomized, controlled, single center, split mouth study

Study Population: Partially edentulous male or female patients in need for oral implants for a fixed prosthetic implant supported rehabilitation and where a Guide Bone Regeneration (GBR) procedure is indicated during implant treatment

Patient Number: 14

Duration of treatment: The time in the study for each patient will be 1 year and 4 months. The treatment period includes implant and abutment installation (in a twostage procedure), with a healing time of minimum 12 weeks before the start of the prosthetic phase.

Study devices: Implants: 3.3 / 4.1 / 4.8 mm Straumann Bone level implants Bone Graft: DBB (Demineralised Bovine Bone, Bio OSS) Measuring Devices: Cadent iTero \& software and Dental Probes Prosthetics: Straumann (computer aided design computer aided manufacturing (CAD CAM) crowns and abutments

Outcome variables:

Primary outcome variable: Difference in bone fill between DBB + bone chips vs. DBB without bone chips afer 24 weeks of submerged healing. The "ideal bone volume" as defined at base line (= 100%) will be compared to the received bone fill [%] at re-entry measured by a digital impression technique (before and after GBR, and at abutment connection, before and after raising a flap, and at the 1-year follow-up).

The method of digital impression will be compared to CBCT immediately after implant placemetn and 1 year and periodontal probing during surgery and re-enty

Secondary Parameters:

What participants receive

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

  • Guided bone regeneration with or without autologous boneProcedure or surgery

    Autogenous bone chips were collected. On each side a bone level implant was placed. The bone dehiscence was measured and was thereafter treated according to the GBR protocol. A resorbable native collagen was adapted to the defect.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Augmentation with autologous bone + DBBMActive comparatorA layer of autogenous bone chips was placed on the implant surface. On top of this a layer of DBBM (Bio-Oss™, Geistlich®, Wolhusen, Switserland) was placed, thereafter covered with a collagen membrane.
Receives: Procedure: Guided bone regeneration with or without autologous bone
Augmentation with DBBMExperimentalA layer of DBBM was placed on the implant surface and thereafter covered with a collagen membrane. Care was taken to make both augmentations as comparable as possible by weighting the used amount of graft material.
Receives: Procedure: Guided bone regeneration with or without autologous bone

What is being measured

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

  1. Horizontal and vertical bone augmentation

    The change of dimension was assessed comparing Cone Beam Computed Tomography scans (CBCT)

    Measured: 16 weeks

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Success of grafting procedure as assessed by clinical interpretation

    Defined as no persistent pain in the grafted area and no suppuration or expulsion of graft material and implant survival rates being lack of mobility, absence of peri-implant radiolucency, absence of recurrent peri-implant infection with suppuration, absence of continuous or recurrent pain, and no structural failure of the implant

    Measured: 1 year

  2. Marginal bone level alterations assessed on peri-apical radiographs using software (ImageJ)

    measured from a reference point (implant shoulder) to the most coronal point of BIC, both mesially and distally

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Guided bone regeneration with or without autologous bone in people with Bone Resorption, run by Universitaire Ziekenhuizen KU Leuven.

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 5 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 10 May 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 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?

Horizontal and vertical bone augmentation (time frame: 16 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03946020, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 10 May 2019; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 1 Nov 2026.
