Improving dental implant stability using bone grafts and special drills

ASSESSMENT OF DENTAL IMPLANTS PLACED IN MANDIBULAR CONSOLIDATED ILIAC-CREST BONE GRAFTS USING DENSAH BURS VERSUS THE STANDARD DRILLS (A Randomized Controlled Trial)

NA · Beni-Suef University · NCT06477874

What this trial studies

This study investigates the effectiveness of osseodensifying techniques on consolidated mandibular bone grafts to enhance the stability of dental implants. It focuses on patients who have undergone successful iliac crest bone grafting after segmental mandibular resection. By utilizing specific bone drills, the study aims to assess whether these techniques can reduce implant complications and marginal bone loss. The research will involve the placement of dental implants in a controlled setting to evaluate outcomes.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are patients aged 18-55 who have had a successful iliac crest mandibular bone graft and meet specific anatomical criteria.

Not a fit: Patients with signs of graft infection, systemic diseases affecting bone healing, or those who have undergone radiotherapy or chemotherapy may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could lead to improved stability of dental implants and reduced complications for patients receiving bone grafts.

How similar studies have performed: While the approach of osseodensifying bone grafts has been documented, this specific application in improving dental implant stability is relatively novel.
