Assessing bone gain in maxilla atrophy using collagen membranes
Assessment of Bone Gain Following Composite Graft Rehabilitation of Horizontal Maxilla Atrophy With Sausage Technique Utilizing (Pericardial) Collagen Membrane Versus Periosteal Membrane Harvested From the Iliac Crest A Randomized Clinical Trial
This study is testing if using special collagen membranes can help patients with bone loss in their upper jaw gain enough bone for dental implants.

What this trial studies
This study evaluates the effectiveness of a composite graft rehabilitation technique for patients with horizontal maxilla atrophy, comparing the use of pericardial collagen membranes to periosteal membranes harvested from the iliac crest. The sausage technique is employed to stabilize the graft and promote bone gain over a period of six months. The research aims to address the challenges posed by severe horizontal bone defects that complicate dental implant placement. By measuring the amount of bone gain achieved, the study seeks to provide insights into optimal grafting strategies for improved dental outcomes.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates include adults aged 18-60 with unilateral or bilateral horizontal maxilla atrophy and no prior interventions on the donor or host sites.
Not a fit: Patients with syndromic conditions or systemic diseases affecting bone metabolism may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could enhance the success rates of dental implants in patients with significant maxillary bone loss.
How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown promising results with similar grafting techniques, indicating potential for success in this approach.
