Cairo University (CU)

Status: Not yet enrolling

Conditions: Bone Loss

Treatments: Procedure: free hand cortical shell technique in anterior 3d defect; Procedure: horizontal and vertical bone augmentation using computer guided cortical shell technique

Study type: Interventional

Funder types: Other

Identifiers

NCT06691516

Computer guided cortical shell

Details and patient eligibility

About

* this study aims to evaluate accuracy of fixation of the bone shells by a calculated distance which is always a challenging step for inexperienced surgeons to fix a cortical shells at the ideal position in the conventional protocol.

the fixation guides used to make the shells precisely fixed at the proper position and angulation the problem is if it fixed with insufficient distance with proposed volume loss leads to totally insufficient volume gain for future implant placement

• also to evaluate the efficacy of the CAD/CAM surgical guide during chin harvesting (harvesting guide ) procedure in reducing the risk of anatomical structure damage (mental neve) and patient morbidity with more accuracy compared with the standard technique and preserve the roots of the lower anterior teeth or any fracture to the inferior border of the mandible also allow to harvest the bone shells from the suitable area with cancellous bone which prevent bad split of the bone shells this trial versus free hand conventional cortical shell bone technique both harvested from symphysis area (chin),
• also to evaluate thickness of implanted bone shells , the thickness should be enough to preserve the graft(autograft 50% and xenograft 50%) between the buccal and lingual bone shells
• also aims to evaluate the vertical and horizontal bone augmentation achieved at the anterior mandible using computer-guided cortical shell bone technique.

Enrollment: 22 estimated patients

Sex: All

Ages: 20 to 60 years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

• Age ranges from 20-60 years. No sex predilection.

Patients free from any systemic conditions and bone metabolism diseases that might interfere with the surgical intervention, soft tissue or hard tissue healing.

Edentulous anterior mandible with a horizontally deficient alveolar ridge that is less than 3mm in width and with a vertically defect at least 3mm in height.

The minimum number of missing teeth in the anterior mandible alveolar ridge is two adjacent teeth.

Exclusion criteria

• Intra-bony lesions (e.g., cysts) or infections (e.g., abscess) that may retard the osteotomy healing.
