NCT07572643

Brief Summary

This prospective controlled clinical pilot study will compare the effectiveness of two different grafting strategies for horizontal bone regeneration in healed post-extraction sites with buccal bone deficiency, using a collagenated porcine cortical bone lamina as a barrier membrane. A total of 21 patients requiring implant-supported rehabilitation associated with bone regeneration will be enrolled, for a total of 40 implants. In the test group, bone defects will be grafted using a collagenated cortico-cancellous sticky xenograft, while in the control group a mixture of hydroxyapatite-based xenograft and autologous bone in a 1:1 ratio will be used. In both groups, a semi-rigid collagenated cortical bone lamina will be applied and stabilized to contain the graft material and maintain space for regeneration. The primary objective of the study will be to evaluate volumetric bone changes over time using cone-beam computed tomography imaging, comparing baseline and follow-up scans. Secondary outcomes will include linear measurements of bone gain at different levels around the implant site. The study will investigate whether collagenated xenografts alone can provide comparable clinical and radiographic outcomes to combined grafting approaches including autologous bone, while potentially reducing patient morbidity associated with bone harvesting.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Volumetric Bone Change

    Change in regenerated bone volume will be assessed using cone-beam computed tomography scans acquired at baseline and follow-up. DICOM datasets will be superimposed and analyzed with dedicated three-dimensional software. Regenerated bone volume will be expressed in cubic millimeters.

    Baseline to 24-36 months after surgery

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Linear Bone Gain at Implant Neck

    Baseline to 24-36 months after surgery

  • Linear Bone Gain 3 mm Apical to Implant Neck

    Baseline to 24-36 months after surgery

  • Linear Bone Gain at Implant Apex

    Baseline to 24-36 months after surgery

Study Arms (2)

Collagenated Xenograft + Cortical Lamina

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants in this arm will undergo horizontal bone regeneration using a collagenated cortico-cancellous xenogeneic graft material. The graft will be placed in healed post-extraction sites presenting buccal bone deficiency. A collagenated porcine cortical bone lamina will be used as a semi-rigid barrier membrane and stabilized with fixation pins to contain the graft and maintain space for bone regeneration. Implant placement will be performed in conjunction with the regenerative procedure.

Procedure: Guided Bone Regeneration with Implant PlacementProcedure: Collagenated Xenogeneic Bone Graft

Hydroxyapatite Xenograft + Autologous Bone + Cortical Lamina

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Participants in this arm will undergo horizontal bone regeneration using a mixture of hydroxyapatite-based xenogeneic graft material and autologous bone in a 1:1 ratio. The graft will be placed in healed post-extraction sites with buccal bone deficiency. A collagenated porcine cortical bone lamina will be used as a semi-rigid barrier membrane and stabilized with fixation pins to ensure graft containment and space maintenance. Implant placement will be performed in conjunction with the regenerative procedure.

Interventions

Participants will undergo implant placement combined with guided bone regeneration in healed post-extraction sites with buccal bone deficiency. The surgical procedure will include defect debridement, graft placement, and stabilization using a collagenated porcine cortical bone lamina as a semi-rigid barrier membrane fixed with pins. Primary closure will be achieved, and postoperative care will follow standard clinical protocols.

Collagenated Xenograft + Cortical LaminaHydroxyapatite Xenograft + Autologous Bone + Cortical Lamina

A collagenated cortico-cancellous xenogeneic bone graft material will be used to fill the bone defect during guided bone regeneration procedures. The material will be applied to promote early vascularization and cellular infiltration, supporting bone regeneration while undergoing physiological remodeling over time.

Collagenated Xenograft + Cortical Lamina

A mixture of hydroxyapatite-based xenogeneic bone graft and autologous bone in a 1:1 ratio will be used to fill the bone defect during guided bone regeneration procedures. The autologous component will provide osteogenic and osteoinductive potential, while the xenograft will contribute to long-term volume stability.
