Khoury's Bone Shell Technique Versus Titanium-Reinforced Polytetrafluoroethylene for Augmentation of Horizontal Deficiency in Posterior Mandible (Histomorphometry Analysis)

Recruiting now · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Alveolar Bone Loss, Posterior Mandible

In brief

The purpose of the study is the comparison of bone gained histologically from the Bone Shell Khoury's Technique in comparison with the usage of non-resorbable membrane polytetrafluoroethylene and discussing its eligibility for implant placement in restoring the atrophic posterior mandible.

Who can join

Age: 18 and older, up to 65. Sex: any. Healthy volunteers: accepted.

You may qualify if…

• Have two or more missing teeth in the posterior mandibular segment.
• The patients age of 18 and above.
• The alveolar ridge in the edentulous site of the selected patients will have a buccolingual width of less than 4mm.
• Sufficient vertical bone height.
• Free of any local or systemic condition that may contraindicate ridge expansion procedure.

You may not qualify if…

• Patients taking any medication that may interfere with bone healing or bone biology.
• Patients with any systemic disease that may affect bone healing.
• Any patients with any previous bone grafting procedure at the site of interest.
• Smokers.
• Patient's that have been diagnosed with periodontal disease, as sufficient ridge height would be improbable.
• Patients with significant vitamin D deficiency.
