Evaluation of Horizontal Mandibular Ridge Augmentation Through Subperiosteal Tunneling by Using Bovine Sticky Bone (Radio-Histological Study)

Egypt10 participantsStarted 2024-08-25

Plain-language summary

This clinical trial evaluated horizontal ridge augmentation in the posterior mandible using subperiosteal tunneling with enriched bovine bone graft matrix (sticky bone). The minimally invasive procedure addressed horizontal bone deficiencies without flap elevation, while preserving periosteal integrity and reducing patient morbidity. Ten patients underwent clinical assessment of wound healing, pain, and neurosensory changes over 4 weeks; radiological evaluation of CBCT-measured bone width at immediate postoperative and 6-month follow-up; and histological analysis of bone core biopsies obtained at implant placement to evaluate remodeling and graft integration.

Inclusion criteria

✓. Adequate vertical ridge height but less than 4 mm of bone width in the posterior mandible, which required bone grafting.
✓. Patients who were motivated, cooperative, and had good oral hygiene.

Exclusion criteria

✕. Any uncontrolled systemic disease or medications that might compromise. healing, osseointegration or complicate the surgical procedures such as uncontrolled diabetes.
✕. Presence of fenestrations or dehiscence of the residual wall.
✕. Smoking habit of 20 cigarettes or more per day.
