About this study

This comparative and prospective study was conducted on 10 patients with alveolar cleft defects. Patients with alveolar cleft defects were randomly selected and randomly divided into two equal groups: Group A: received Autologous (BMMSCs) harvested from the mandibular ramus and seeded on a collagen sponge in combination with nanohydroxyapatite. Group B: received Autologous (BMMSCs) harvested from the lilac crest and seeded on a collagen sponge in combination with nanohydroxyapatite.

Read the detailed description

The utilization of Mandibular Ramus-derived BMSCs presents a groundbreaking advancement in maxillofacial reconstruction. This approach offers numerous advantages, including reduced surgical complications, improved precision and localization, higher osteogenic potential, and lower risks of graft rejection. Moreover, the combination of BMMNCs, nanohydroxyapatite, and PRF extracted from the mandible proves to be a viable alternative to traditional iliac crest grafting, promoting effective bone regeneration in alveolar cleft defects. By adopting this novel technique and harvesting site, It can can optimize surgical interventions, paving the way for enhanced standards of care and improving the quality of life for patients with maxillofacial challenges

What is being measured

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

  1. The utilization of Mandibular Ramus-derived BMSCs presents a groundbreaking advancement in maxillofacial reconstruction. This approach offers numerous advantages, including reduced surgical complications

    Based on the given data, there is a significant difference the volume reduction was significantly different between both groups being better in group A compared to group B (P=0.047). Whereas there was an insignificant difference between both groups regarding the preoperative and postoperative volume area.

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cleft Lip and Palate, run by Faculty of Dental Medicine for Girls 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 1 inclusion and 1 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 10 Oct 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 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 utilization of Mandibular Ramus-derived BMSCs presents a groundbreaking advancement in maxillofacial reconstruction. This approach offers numerous advantages, including reduced surgical complications (time frame: 6 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 10 Oct 2024; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 6 Nov 2026.
