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.
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?

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?
