About this study

Official title: Vertical Guided Bone Regeneration: LPRF Block vs a Mixture of Autogenous Bone With Deproteinized Bovine Bone Mineral. A Split-mouth RCT Study With 25 Months Follow-up

split-mouth RCT, 25 months follow up. GBR protocol with LPRF as grafting material in the test group and autogenous bone with DBBM as grafting material in the control group.

Read the detailed description

6 patients were included in this split-mouth RCT. In control sites a horizontal GBR procedure was performed using a titanium reinforced dPTFE membrane with a graft consisting of 50% autogenous bone and 50% DBBM. In test sites a titanium reinforced dPTFE membrane was used, with a graft consisting of an LPRF block. This was left to heal for 9 months. Subsequently an implant was placed. At time of implant placement a bone biopsy was taken. After 4 months of osseointegration the abutment connection was performed. 1 year after loading of the implants a final check was done. CBCT scans were taken at intake, immediately after reconstruction, 9 months after reconstruction, before implant placement and 1 year after loading of the implants.

Primary outcome measure is the bone volume as measured on the CBCT scans. Secondary outcome measures are bone quality in the biopsy, buccal bone thickness around the oral implant, number and type of complications, cumulative survival rates of the implants 1 year after loading.

What participants receive

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

  • guided bone regenerationProcedure or surgery

    Also called GBR

    a non-resorbable membrane was used as a space maintainer, filled with a particulated bone graft.

What is being measured

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

  1. bone volume as measured on CBCT scans

    CBCT scans taken and software used for measurement

    Measured: CBCT scans at intake, with follow-up until 25 months post-operative

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Buccal bone thickness around the implants

    Bone thickness measured on CBCT scans

    Measured: CBCT scans at placement of the implant and 1 year after loading of the implant

  2. Buccal bone thickness around the implants

    Bone thickness measured on CBCT scans

    Measured: CBCT scans at 1 year after loading of the implant

  3. Cumulative survival rate of the implants

    Implants followed for 1 year after loading and survival recorded

    Measured: 16 months of follow-up

  4. rates and types of complications

    All complications recorded during 25 months follow-up

    Measured: 25 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing guided bone regeneration in people with Alveolar Bone Resorption, run by Universitaire Ziekenhuizen KU Leuven at 1 site in Belgium.

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 4 inclusion and 12 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 19 Mar 2024. 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 Belgium. 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?

bone volume as measured on CBCT scans (time frame: CBCT scans at intake, with follow-up until 25 months post-operative). 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 19 Mar 2024.
