Tenting Screws in Combination With Platelet Concentrate for Vertical Alveolar Ridge Augmentation
China69 participantsStarted 2021-08-10
Plain-language summary
Alveolar bone resorption often occurs after tooth extraction. At present, guided bone regeneration technique is widely used in clinic since it leads to less trauma and less complications. Tenting screw technology, basic on the classical GBR, implants screws into the surgical area to prevent the barrier membrane from collapsing. Moreover, advanced platelet rich fibrin and injectable platelet-rich fibrin are used to provide the osteogenic function. The investigators intend to increase vertical alveolar bone augmentation by combining tenting screws and A-PRF, I-PRF.

Inclusion criteria
. 18-80 years old;
. single tooth in the maxillary posterior area cannot be retained (third degree loosening / alveolar bone resorption to the periapical area), implantation is needed after extraction, and CBCT shows vertical bone defect ≥ 3mm;
. 4 weeks after extraction or missing teeth within 3-5 weeks;
. adjacent teeth exist and loosening is less than Ⅰ degree;
. periodontal disease in inactive stage, whole mouth bleeding index (FMBS) is less than 20%;
. thick gingival biological type.
. CBCT shows that the bone of the edentulous site meets the requirements of tent screw implantation (bone height ≥ 3mm and bone mineral density is sufficient);
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?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
