Atrophic Mandible
Conditions
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
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 The first 2-4 mL of platelet-poor plasma (PPP) is withdrawn and heated at 75 °C for 10 minutes to form albumin gel, then cooled for 1-2 minutes.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.
Peripheral blood is collected in 9-10 mL additive-free tubes and centrifuged horizontally at 700-2000 g for 8 minutes.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Change in implant stability | baseline and 6 months | Osstell 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
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| change in pain scores | uo to 7 days | Visual 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 scores | up to 7 days | Assessment 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 gain | baseline and 6 months | CBCT will be used |
| change in bone density | baseline and 6 months | CBCt will be used |
