Alveolar Bone Atrophy, Bone Resorption
Conditions
Brief summary
This study evaluates the effect of citric acid demineralization in autogenous bone blocks consolidation. Half of participants will receive citric acid treatment at the bone block and recipient site. Other half will receive no demineralization treatment.
Detailed description
Autogenous bone grafts are indicated in areas where there is not enough bone height and/or width for implant installation. Treatment of bone surfaces with citric acid, promote a slight demineralization on surface that mimic natural processes of bone demineralization by osteoclasts. Thus, this treatment could accelerate the process of autogenous bone block consolidation to its recipient site.
Interventions
Control side will receive only perforations on recipient site, which is the conventional technique for bone blocks graft.
Test side will receive treatment with citric acid (10%) for 30s at bone block surface and recipient site
