Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are patients with less than 5 mm of horizontal maxillary ridge deficiency.

Probably not a fit

Patients who have previously undergone maxillary reconstructive or dental implant treatments may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies

This study evaluates the effectiveness of bone grafts harvested from the iliac crest versus calvarial bones for reconstructing severely deficient maxillary ridges. It focuses on measuring the radiographic horizontal bone gain achieved with each type of graft. The study addresses the limitations of calvarial grafts, such as their curvature and volume, compared to the more favorable iliac crest grafts. Participants will undergo autogenous bone augmentation to assess which method yields better results in bone reconstruction.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could improve surgical outcomes for patients requiring maxillary ridge reconstruction.

How similar studies have gone: Previous studies have shown varying success with similar grafting techniques, but this specific comparison is novel.
