• 1 other identifier: 25230
• Study Type: interventional
• Target: 30
• Locations: 1 country

Brief Summary

The current study aims to increase the width of the alveolar bone in defective mandibular ridge with simultaneous implant placement and enhance the implant stability

Conditions

Bone Loss, Alveolar

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Evaluation of bone width

  Cone beam CT used to asses bone density

  (4-6) months

• Implant primary stability

  Osstel device used to asses the stability from 1 to 100

  (4-6 )months

Study Arms (2)

Ridge split

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Procedure: Ridge split

Sausage techinque

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Procedure: Ridge split

Interventions

Ridge split PROCEDURE

The alveolar ridge splitting technique was introduced by Simion in 1992 as a successful bone grafting technique to augment the horizontally deficient alveolar ridge with immediate implant placement

Ridge split; Sausage techinque

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 20 Years - 75 Years
• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: Yes
• Age Groups: Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

• Patients with deficient bone volume between (2 : 3.5 ) mm
• Patients must have installed functional implant for no less than 3 months- enough time to allow for bone augmentation changes.
• Patients with no defect in the gingival tissues.
• Patients with un-remarkable medical compromising conditions
• Patients with good oral hygiene at time of the examination

You may not qualify if:

• Patients with compromising medical condition.
• Patients with severe bone resorption.
• Patients with D1 or D2 bone.
• Bone height \<10mm
