Eligibility
Age
18 Years to 65 Years
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Ages between 18 and 65 years, who have bidirectional horizontal maxilla atrophy and who intend to have oral rehabilitation with the use of osseointegrated implants.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: Pregnant, diabetics, immunocompromised patients, smokers, who are using medications that may interfere with the study results. Patients who present fracture of the bone walls during the procedure make it impossible to fix the device.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To evaluate bone formation in thickness six months after bone grafting procedure in the jaws, using computed tomography. Computed tomography scans were performed at baseline (T0) to measure bone thickness in edentulous regions and after 6 months (T1) to measure and compare values obtained after bone grafting procedure. Horizontal bone increase was observed in both studied groups, and the final volume found was 7.70 + 0.89 mm and 8.62 + 0.89 in HAC (Horizontal alveolar change) groups 3 and 4, respectively. | — |
