Comparing bone grafts from the skull and hip for maxillary ridge reconstruction
Radiographic Assessment of Horizontal Bone Augmentation of Full Atrophic Maxillary Alveolar Ridges Using Calvarial Versus Iliac Crest Bone Blocks:
This study tests whether using bone grafts from the hip or the skull works better for rebuilding the upper jaw in people with severe bone loss.

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.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are patients with less than 5 mm of horizontal maxillary ridge deficiency.
Not a fit: Patients who have previously undergone maxillary reconstructive or dental implant treatments may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could improve surgical outcomes for patients requiring maxillary ridge reconstruction.
How similar studies have performed: Previous studies have shown varying success with similar grafting techniques, but this specific comparison is novel.
