Alveolar Ridge Augmentation Following Self-Inflating Soft Tissue Expander

Alveolar Ridge Augmentation Following Self-Inflating Soft Tissue Expander: A Randomized Controlled Clinical and Histological Study

• Status: Completed
• Phase: N/A
• Study type: Interventional
• Enrollment: 16 (actual)
• Sponsor: Ain Shams University · Academic / Other
• Sex: All
• Age: 20 Years – 60 Years
• Healthy volunteers: Accepted

Summary

The objective of this study will be to assess and compare between sub-periosteal self- inflating osmotic tissue expanders used as preparatory surgery before alveolar ridge augmentation and periosteal releasing incision using autogenous onlay block bone graft. The assessment and comparison will be based on: 1. Change in edentulous alveolar ridge in bucco-lingual dimension after alveolar ridge augmentation. 2. Quantity of the soft tissue obtained after soft tissue expansion.

Detailed description

* Sixteen patients will be selected from the outpatient clinic of the department of, Oral medicine Periodontology, and oral diagnosis, Faculty of Dentistry, Ain Shams University. * Three surgeries will be carried out for group I patient; the first is placement of soft tissue expander, the second surgery is bone grafting and placement of collagen membrane for ridge augmentation while the third (re-entry surgery) is implant placement in a routine fashion. two surgeries will be carried out for group II patient; the first is surgery is bone grafting for ridge augmentation while the second (re-entry surgery) is implant placement in a routine fashion. -Measurements and evaluation of edentulous ridge will be done by CBCT

Conditions

• Horizontal Ridge Deficiency
