About this study

Official title: Evaluation of a Combined Ridge Expansion Technique With Simultaneous Dental Implant Placement in Narrow Posterior Mandible

Patients with long span, narrow edentulous ridge in the posterior mandible underwent piezotomed ridge splitting and osseodensification with simultaneous implant placement.

Read the detailed description

This study is a single arm clinical trial. Patients of both genders, who are indicated for ridge splitting, were recruited from the outpatient clinic, Faculty of dentistry, Alexandria University.

The PICO question: "What is the effect of piezotomed ridge splitting and osseodensification on implant placement in narrow posterior mandibular ridges?"

Ethical approval for the study was obtained from the regional Ethical Review Board of the Faculty of Dentistry. All patients were informed about the procedure details, and each participant signed a written consent.

Ridge expansion was accomplished by piezotomed ridge splitting and osseodensification. Simultaneous implant placement was done in the same procedure.

Implant stability was assessed. Also, bone width gained and bone density were measured around the dental implants using cone beam computed tomography.

What is being measured

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

  1. The score of primary implant stability

    • Primary stability of the implants is measured using:
    • insertion torque and
    • resonance frequency analysis by Osstell ISQ device (Osstell ISQ, W\&H, Sweden)

    Measured: immediately at time of implant insertion

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. The width of bone gained

    Width of bone gained at the crest of the ridge is measured by cone beam computed tomography in mm

    Measured: 3 months postoperative

  2. The mean bone density around dental implants

    The mean bone density around dental implants is measured by cone beam computed tomography in grey scale values

    Measured: 3 months postoperative

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Piezotomed ridge splitting and osseodensification in people with Alveolar Process Atrophy, run by Lydia Nabil 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 7 inclusion and 8 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 9 May 2023. 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?

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?

The score of primary implant stability (time frame: immediately at time of implant insertion). 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 9 May 2023.
