Conditions

Atrophic Mandible

Brief summary

Background: Placement of implants in an atrophic posterior ridge is a challenge for so many clinicians. The success of dental implants depends on the volume of alveolar bone available to provide stability. Bone grafting using xenograft with PRF and e-PRF as a membrane has shown promising results in both bone healing and defect reconstruction. Aim of the study: to evaluate the effect of Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) and Extended Platelet-rich fibrin (e-PRF) as a membrane with xenograft to increase the width of ridge in posterior mandible with simultaneous implant placement.

Interventions

OTHERe-PRF membrane will be used with xenograft simultaneously with implant placement.

Peripheral blood is collected in plain tubes and centrifuged (700-2000 g, 8 min) to separate plasma from red cells. The first 2-4 mL of platelet-poor plasma (PPP) is withdrawn and heated at 75 °C for 10 minutes to form albumin gel, then cooled for 1-2 minutes. Meanwhile, the remaining blood fractions (buffy coat, liquid PRF, red cells) are kept cooled to prevent premature clotting.

OTHERPRF membrane will be used with xenograft simultaneously with implant placement

Peripheral blood is collected in 9-10 mL additive-free tubes and centrifuged horizontally at 700-2000 g for 8 minutes.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Change in implant stabilitybaseline and 6 monthsOsstell device will be used to measure the implant stability, primary stability Just after implant placement, and secondary stability 6 months from the time of implant placement. The measured values will be recorded in ISQ from 1 to 100, Implant stability is directly proportional to ISQ value

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
change in pain scoresuo to 7 daysVisual Analogue Scale (VAS) will be used to assess pain for 7 days postoperatively using a 10-point (0-1= None, 2-4= Mild, 5-7= Moderate, 8-10= Severe)
Change in edema scoresup to 7 daysAssessment of edema will be done immediately, post-operative on the 2nd, 3rd, and 7th days as follows: no inflammation= none intraoral swelling confined to the surgical field = mild extraoral swelling in the surgical zone= moderate extraoral swelling spreading beyond the surgical zone= intense
change in bone width gainbaseline and 6 monthsCBCT will be used
change in bone densitybaseline and 6 monthsCBCt will be used
