Trial summary

Reconstruction of maxillofacial continuity defects has always been a challenging task for scientists and surgeons over the years. The main goal of the reconstruction of the maxillofacial region is to restore facial form, function, and full rehabilitation of occlusion and articulation. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Titanium Mesh Coated With Natural Hydroxyapatite Nanocrystals in Orbital Reconstruction (Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial)

Reconstruction of maxillofacial continuity defects has always been a challenging task for scientists and surgeons over the years. The main goal of the reconstruction of the maxillofacial region is to restore facial form, function, and full rehabilitation of occlusion and articulation. A refinement in surgical technique and methods of reconstruction has improved patients' quality of life. Aim of this study: Evaluation of titanium mesh coated with natural hydroxyapatite in orbital reconstruction.

Read the detailed description

Twelve patients having orbital defects will be selected. Six defects will be reconstructed using titanium mesh coated with natural hydroxyapatite nanocrystals (study group) and the other six will be treated with uncoated titanium mesh (control group). Patients will be evaluated clinically, then a radiographic follow-up will be performed immediately postoperatively and after three months to evaluate the bone density at the defect. Also, the coated and uncoated titanium mesh will be mechanically evaluated to compare the tensile strength of the two groups.

Being tested
Coated titanium mesh, Uncoated titanium mesh

What participants receive

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

  • Coated titanium meshOther

    patients will undergo repairing of defects or reconstruction using the titanium mesh coated with hydroxyapatite nanocrystals.

  • Uncoated titanium meshOther

    patients will undergo reconstruction using the conventional uncoated titanium mesh.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in wound healing criteria

    The sutured wounds will be examined for signs and symptoms of infection. Yes: for presence of signs and sympotms No: for absence of signs and symptoms

    Measured: after 24-hours, one week, four weeks, and six weeks

  2. Change in bone density

    All patients will be radiographically examined immediately and 3 months postoperatively using multi-slice computerized tomography (CT) using OnDemand3D software

    Measured: at baseline and 3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Coated titanium mesh and Uncoated titanium mesh in people with Orbital Deformity, run by Hams Hamed Abdelrahman 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 5 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 29 Jun 2022. 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?

Change in wound healing criteria (time frame: after 24-hours, one week, four weeks, and six weeks). The study lists 2 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 29 Jun 2022.
