NCT04480073

Brief Summary

The aims of this prospective clinical study are to evaluate: a) the effectiveness of digitally customized titanium meshes in association with autologous bone particles and bovine bone mineral and covered with collagen membranes for the regeneration of atrophic edentulous sites; b) the survival rate of implants placed in the reconstructed areas; and c) new bone regeneration from a histomorphometric point of view

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (8)

  • Histomorphometric analysis of bone samples taken from the reconstructed sites: bone remodeling and mineralization levels

    Samples will be processed following a standardized protocol for hard tissues. Bone remodeling and mineralization levels of the new bone matrix (expressed in percentage out of the total volume of analyzed sample in cubic mm) will be analyzed from an histologic point of view

    6-9 months

  • Histomorphometric analysis of bone samples taken from the reconstructed sites: Volumetric tissue fractions

    Samples will be processed following a standardized protocol for hard tissues. Volumetric tissue fractions (expressed in percentage out of the total volume of analyzed sample in cubic mm) will be analyzed from an histologic point of view

    6-9 months

  • Histomorphometric analysis of bone samples taken from the reconstructed sites: Neo-vascularization

    Samples will be processed following a standardized protocol for hard tissues. Neo-vascularization (expressed in percentage out of the total volume of analyzed sample in cubic mm) will be analyzed from an histologic point of view

    6-9 months

  • Effectiveness of digitally customized titanium meshes in association with autografts and xenografts for bone regeneration in resorbed jaws: Complication rate of the reconstructive procedure

    Complication rate of the reconstructive procedure (expressed in percentage and number of patients out of the total) will be analyzed

    6-9 months

  • Effectiveness of digitally customized titanium meshes in association with autografts and xenografts for bone regeneration in resorbed jaws: Assessment of bone gain

    Assessment of bone gain obtained before implant placement (expressed in mm) will be analyzed

    6-9 months

  • Effectiveness of digitally customized titanium meshes in association with autografts and xenografts for bone regeneration in resorbed jaws: Implant survival

    Implant survival (expressed in percentage) will be analyzed

    12 months

  • Effectiveness of digitally customized titanium meshes in association with autografts and xenografts for bone regeneration in resorbed jaws: Incidence of implant-related complications

    Incidence of implant-related complications 1 year after the starting of prosthetic loading (expressed in percentage) will be analyzed

    12 months

  • Effectiveness of digitally customized titanium meshes in association with autografts and xenografts for bone regeneration in resorbed jaws: Peri-implant bone resorption

    Peri-implant bone resorption (MBL) after 1 year from the prosthetic load (expressed in mm) will be analyzed

    6-9 months

Study Arms (1)

edentulous patients with atrophic jaws

OTHER

patients presenting with severely atrophic edentulous sites in the upper and lower jaw, and requesting implant-supported prosthetic restorations, will be enrolled in this study.

Procedure: Customized CAD-CAM Titanium Mesh (Y-xoss CBR® by Reoss -Filderstadt - Germany) for Guided Bone Regeneration of atrophic alveolar ridges

Interventions

Step one:1) exposure of atrophic areas; 2) bone harvesting from mandible or calvarium; 3) filling the meshes with a mixture of the autogenous bone and particulated xenograft in a 1:1 ratio; 4) stabilization of the mesh with titanium micro-screws. A post-operative cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) will be done in all patients to have a reference point for the following controls. 6 months later, patients are re-evaluated with a new CBCT to check bone volumes of the regenerated tissues and to plan implant placement. Step two: 1) removal of the meshes; 2) preparation of implant sites (one of which will be randomly chosen to obtain a bone biopsy for histomorphometric analysis); 3) implant placement. 3 months later, implants will be uncovered and the prosthetic phases will start. Patients will be recalled 3, 6, and 12 months later, to assess peri-implant hard and soft tissue conditions, the stability of the reconstructed bone, and the onset of implant-related complications.
