Comparing two techniques for bone augmentation in the back of the jaw
A Comparative Study Between Tenting Abutment Technique Versus Screw"Tent-Pole" Technique for Augmentation of Posterior Atrophic Mandible Randomized Clinical Trial
NA · Cairo University · NCT06443476
This study is testing a new method for adding bone to the back of the jaw to see if it works better than the traditional method for patients needing jaw surgery.

What this trial studies
This study evaluates the effectiveness of a novel tenting abutment technique against the traditional tent pole technique for augmenting the posterior atrophic mandible. The aim is to reduce the number of surgeries and shorten the healing period while minimizing bone graft resorption and preserving soft tissue integrity. Participants will undergo procedures to assess the quantity of bone gained and the incidence of wound dehiscence postoperatively. The study utilizes xenograft bone and guided bone regeneration methods to achieve optimal results.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are patients with atrophic posterior mandible who have no intraoral soft or hard tissue pathology.
Not a fit: Patients with untreated gingivitis, periodontitis, or systemic conditions that contraindicate implant placement may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could lead to fewer surgeries and improved healing outcomes for patients with bone deficiencies in the jaw.
How similar studies have performed: While similar techniques have been explored, this specific comparison of tenting abutment versus tent pole is novel and has not been extensively tested.
