Validity of PEEK PSI Containing Autogenous Bone Graft for Maxillary Reconstruction Following Lesion Enucleation
8 participantsStarted 2018-01-01
Plain-language summary
Surgical ablation of large maxillary cysts usually results in considerable hard and soft tissue deficits that ultimately affect the final esthetic and functional outcomes. Reconstruction of such defects; whether primarily or secondarily; offers much better long-term outcomes. However, primary bony reconstruction becomes potentially complicated in many cases of such large cysts encroaching or involving the maxillary sinus where a communication with the maxillary sinus lining may be unavoidable.
Reconstruction of such defects can be accomplished using either vascularized or; more commonly; non-vascularized autogenous bone grafts. Different bone substitutes remain to be another viable option. The simultaneous use of titanium meshes provides physical three-dimensional support for the bone graft contained within as well as the overlying soft tissues. However, the drawbacks of titanium meshes in such defects remain to be mainly the difficulty in adequately shaping the mesh and the lack of proper isolation of the mesh contents from the maxillary sinus cavity.

Inclusion criteria
. Age of patients from 15 to 60 years old.
. Patients with unilateral maxillary lesion encroaching maxillary sinus.
. Dentulous or edentulous patients.
. Patients should be free from any systemic disease that may affect normal healing of bone and predictable outcome.
Exclusion criteria
. Patients with systemic diseases as history of radiation therapy or chemotherapy, hematological disorders, neuromotor disorders and autoimmune diseases (may affect normal healing).
. Patients with bilateral maxillary lesions.
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
