About this study

Official title: Use of Xenogeneic Bone Graft Associated With Autogenous Bone Graft or Leukocyte-and-Platelet-Rich Fibrin (L-PRF) for Horizontal Bone Augmentation of Alveolar Ridge: A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial

The objective of this randomized controlled clinical trial was to evaluate the effects of particulate xenogeneic bone grafts associated with autogenous bone graft or Leukocyte-and-Platelet-Rich Fibrin (L-PRF) for horizontal alveolar ridge augmentation. Twenty-eight patients presenting edentulous regions and requiring horizontal bone augmentation prior to dental implant placement were included in this study and randomly divided into two groups according to the proposed guided bone regeneration (GBR) treatment.

Fourteen surgical sites corresponding to Group A received bone regeneration with particulate autogenous bone tissue associated with deproteinized bovine bone graft (Bio-Oss Small®; Geistlich AG, Wolhusen, Switzerland). In Group B, fourteen surgical sites were regenerated with deproteinized bovine bone graft (Bio-Oss Small®) associated with L-PRF. In both groups, the grafted region was protected by a collagen membrane (Bio-Gide® Compressed; Geistlich AG, Wolhusen, Switzerland) fixed to the buccal and palatal bone plates using titanium pins.

Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans were performed preoperatively, immediately after the GBR surgical procedure, after 8 months of GBR healing, and immediately after dental implant placement to measure linear and volumetric changes in the alveolar ridge. At the time of dental implant placement, after an average period of 8 months following the guided bone regeneration procedures, bone biopsies were taken from the grafted area for histological, histomorphometric, and micro-CT analysis.

After a period of 6 months, the dental implants were reopened to receive implant-supported prosthetic rehabilitation. Implant stability was assessed using resonance frequency analysis at the time of implant placement in the grafted area and after an average of 6 months during the reopening surgical stage. Patient pain perception following bone regeneration procedures was assessed using a visual analog scale. All obtained data were statistically analyzed.

What participants receive

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

  • Horizontal Bone Augmentation of Alveolar RidgeProcedure or surgery

    Elevation of the flap in the anterior region of atrophic maxilla to receive particulate autogenous bone mixed with deproteinized bovine bone graft (Group A) or Leukocyte-and-Platelet-Rich Fibrin (L-PRF) mixed with deproteinized bovine bone graft (Group B). In both groups, bone augmentations were covered with a collagen membrane stabilized with pins.

  • GroupsProcedure or surgery

    The patients underwent Guided Bone Regeneration (GBR) procedures for the reconstruction of atrophic edentulous alveolar ridges and were divided into two groups according to the proposed treatment:

    Group A - GBR using a mixture of particulate autogenous bone graft and deproteinized bovine bone graft (Bio-Oss® Small; Geistlich AG, Wolhusen, Switzerland).

    Group B - GBR using a mixture of deproteinized bovine bone graft (Bio-Oss® Small) and L-PRF + Liquid Fibrinogen.

  • Dental ImplantsProcedure or surgery

    After 8 months of GBR healing, dental implants were placed in the grafted regions using guided surgery techniques.

    Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans were performed preoperatively, immediately after the surgical procedure, and after 8 months of follow-up to measure the linear and volumetric changes in the alveolar ridge. At the time of dental implant placement, after an 8-month period following the GBR procedures, bone biopsies were obtained from the grafted area for histological and micro-CT analysis.

    The stability of the implants was assessed using resonance frequency analysis in the immediate postoperative period and at 6 months postoperatively.

    After the 6-month period following dental implant placement, the patients were cleared for implant-supported prosthetic rehabilitation.

What is being measured

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

  1. Micro-CT and Histometric analyses

    After the period of 8 months from Horizontal Bone Augmentation of Alveolar Ridge, during the dental implant placement by guided surgery, bone samples will be collected at the same location of the implants preparation. The collected bone tissue will be prepared and submitted to Micro-CT and histometric analyses.

    Measured: 8 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Dental Implants ISQ measurement

    ISQ will be measured at the moment of implant placement and after 6 months.

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Horizontal Bone Augmentation of Alveolar Ridge, Groups and Dental Implants in people with Platelet-rich Fibrin and Bone Substitutes, run by University of Sao Paulo at 1 site in Brazil.

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 11 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 11 Jun 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 Brazil. 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?

Micro-CT and Histometric analyses (time frame: 8 months). 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 11 Jun 2024.
