Trial summary

The bilateral sagittal split Ramus osteotomy (BSSRO) was introduced by Trauner and Obwegeser. Since then, many modifications of this procedure have been reported, leading to a less difficult and more predictable procedure for correcting mandibular anomalies. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Neurosensory Disturbance After Using Separators Vs Chisels in Bilateral Sagittal Split Mandibular Osteotomy. RCT

The bilateral sagittal split Ramus osteotomy (BSSRO) was introduced by Trauner and Obwegeser. Since then, many modifications of this procedure have been reported, leading to a less difficult and more predictable procedure for correcting mandibular anomalies. persistent post-operative neurosensory disturbances of the inferior alveolar nerve are still one of the major complications of this operation. The incidence has decreased over the years due to improved techniques and the use of different instruments. However, most recent series still report postoperative persistent hypesthesia of the inferior alveolar nerve in more than 10% of the patients up to 48%.

There are no reports on the influence of other surgical variables on the persisting post-operative hypesthesia. Several methods have been reported for evaluating neurosensory disturbances of the inferior alveolar nerve. One of the simplest methods reported is tactile evaluation based on subjective sensation reported by the patients. Many authors have used this method in their evaluation of post-operative hypesthesia.

Being tested
bilateral sagittal split osteotomy using separators.

What participants receive

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

  • bilateral sagittal split osteotomy using separators.Procedure or surgery

    The final split is completed with a thin osteotomes, splitting the entire ascending ramus from the anterior to the posterior border of the ramus.

What is being measured

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

  1. neurosensory disturbance of the inferior alveolar nerve.

    use Von Frey filaments to test sensory function of the lower lip and two point discrimination test (blunt and sharp ) also to assess the sensory function

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Incidence of bad split

    if bad split in the mandible occur during the operation it will be reported

    Measured: 1 year

  2. post operative edema ,

    preoperative measure from the tragus to mid of the chin by cm then the measure is repeated to count the amount of edema

    Measured: 1 year

  3. post operative pain

    by visual analogue scale from 0 to 10 and the patient choose the number

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing bilateral sagittal split osteotomy using separators. in people with to Assess Neurosensory Function of Inferior Alveolar Nerve After BSSO, run by Cairo 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 0 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Apr 2021. 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?

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?

neurosensory disturbance of the inferior alveolar nerve. (time frame: 1 year). 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 Apr 2021.
