Effects of Three Different Surgical Techniques for Horizontal Ridge Bone Augmentation: A Superiority Randomized Clinical Trial
Trial Parameters
Brief Summary
the goal of this clinical trial in to investigate the efficacy of three different horizontal augmentation techniques with regards to the volume of bone gained, the quality of the bone gained and the level of patient pain scale. Researchers will compare the volume of bone gained radiographically and the quality of the bone gain using histological analysis. the participants in this study will be required to record and submit a pain scale chart.
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria: * Have two or more missing teeth in the posterior mandibular segment; 2) The alveolar ridge in the edentulous site of the selected patients will have a buccolingual width of less than 4mm; 3) Sufficient vertical bone height; 4) Free of any local or systemic condition that may contraindicate ridge expansion procedure Exclusion Criteria: * : 1) Patients taking any medication that may interfere with bone healing or bone biology; 2) Patients with any systemic disease that may affect bone healing; 3) Any patients with any previous bone grafting procedure at the site of interest; 4) Smokers; 5) Patient's that have been diagnosed with periodontal disease, as sufficient ridge height would be improbable.
