Effect of Mini Implants Supported Over Dentures Versus Conventional Implant After Bone Expansion

Effect of Mini Implants Supported Over Dentures Versus Conventional Implant After Bone Expansion in Thin Mandibular Ridge on Patient Satisfaction:

• Status: Unknown
• Phase: N/A
• Study type: Interventional
• Enrollment: 36 (estimated)
• Sponsor: Cairo University · Academic / Other
• Sex: All
• Age: 45 Years – 80 Years
• Healthy volunteers: Accepted

Summary

The better form of ridge will provide using wider implants that can have better abilities to with stand forces and to prevent alveolar bone loss as much as possible. Ridge expansion gained some popularity due to easiness compared to any other procedure that can gain bone. However, this treatment modality needs to be evaluated as compared to Mini Dental Implants (MDIs) over denture in thin mandibular ridge. In mandibular edentulous patients having thin ridge, does the mini implant supported over denture, compared to the conventional implant supported over denture after bone expansion affect bone height around implants?

Detailed description

PICO P: Completely edentulous Patients. I: Mandibular overdenture supported by mini dental implant. C: Mandibular overdenture supported by conventional implant diameter after bone expansion. O: outcomes as follows: Primary Outcome: Patient satisfaction, Questionnaire Visual analog scale (VAS), Measuring unit: Mm. (Geckili et al. Secondary Outcome: Bone height change, Measuring device: DIGORA® X ray, Measuring unit: Mm.
