Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Subjects were patients who planned to receive dental implant treatment. These subjects had continuous tooth defects (more than 2), where fixed prostheses were not applicable. The subjects voluntarily enrolled in this study and wished to have dental implant treatment rather than conventional removable prostheses. Subjects showed severely atrophic maxilla or mandible, which require bone transplantation. The width of alveolar bone at the installation sites was less than 5 mm. In the maxilla, the distance between the alveolar ridge and the sinus floors was less than 5 mm. Similarly, in the mandible, the distance between the ridge and mandibular canal was less than 5 mm. Good oral hygiene was maintained. Tooth brushing instruction and scaling were performed prior to the protocol treatment. The age of the subjects was limited to 20 -70 years. The subjects were able to understand and agreed to receive the treatment by informed consent.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: Patients with diabetes and/or autoimmune diseases, who presented hemorrhagic diathesis where partial thromboplastin time (PT) was lower than 50% and activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) less than 23.5 or longer than 42.5 seconds, uncontrollable infectious diseases, patients with osteoporosis who are prescribed bisphosphonate, liver dysfunction with a Glutamic Oxaloacetic Transaminase (GOT) value less than 10 or more than 40 IU/L or with a glutamic pyruvic transaminase (GPT) less than 5 or more than 45 IU/L, pregnant or possible pregnancy, allergy to any of the medications used in this study and/or the presence of allergy that required continuous systemic medication, smokers, subjects who are positive for HBs antigen (CLIA), HBs antibody (CLIA), HBc antigen (CLIA), HCV antibody (RIA solid phase), HIV antigen and HIV antibody (ELISAs), syphilis serology (RPR), syphilis serology (TPHA) and HTLV-1 and other special conditions that the responsible physician considered not appropriate were excluded.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Bone area from biopsy samples: Non-decalcified tissue section from bone biopsy sample will be used and the areas for new bone, remaining beta-TCP, bone marrow, fibrous conective tissue will be analyzed. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Safety: Presence of adverse events during treatment period under the protocol. Newly formed bone volume: CT data will be analyzed and the volume of newly formed bone will be calculated. The hight of bone at the implant installation site will be also analyzed. Osseointegration of Implant. Failure of implant | — |
