Filter by:This study aims to evaluate bone formation in grafts in terms of its quality (density), quantity (volume) and maturation obtained with the application of a tissue-engineered bone grafting compound containing concentrated autogenous cell-culture medium (CM) and a synthetic bone substitute. The present study was designed as an experimental prospective split-mouth randomized controlled clinical trial. After protocol approval by the Research Ethics Committee, a total of 20 consecutive participants in need of maxillary reconstruction aiming implant-supported oral rehabilitation will be invited to join the study. To collect autogenous adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hASCs), an outpatient lipoplasty procedure at the abdominal area of each patient will be performed. To isolate and expand hASCs from the lipoaspirate, specific cell culture protocols will be followed, resulting in cultured viable cells and their conditioned medium (CM). Cells and CM will be then separated by a sequence of filters and centrifugation, and isolated CM will be frozen. ELISA will analyze the presence of chemokines and their concentration in CM before grafting. Following pre-op surgical planning, both maxillary sinuses of each patient will be grafted internally applying a lateral window to each sinus. The bony floor of the test maxillary sinus will be augmented with synthetic bone substitute (BoneCeramic™ 1-2 mm) mixed with 10 to 15 ml of CM (test). The control site will receive bone substitute with saline. Lateral windows in both sinuses will be then closed with a collagen membrane (Bio-Gide™). After 6 months, first-stage implant surgery will be performed placing 6 implants in each patient. Registration of implant stability by manual torque wrench will be performed. Also, bone biopsies from each drilled implant site will be collected for histology, histomorphometry and immunohistochemistry (RT-PCR). Tomographic evaluation of the bone formation will include cone beam computed tomographies (CBCTs) at pre-operative [Baseline], 90 [T1] and 180 [T2 = implant placement] days for bone 3D image analysis.
Background: Lateral maxillary sinus augmentation (MSA) is a predictable bone regeneration technique in case of atrophy of the posterior-upper maxilla. Aimed at obtaining quantity and quality of bone suitable for receiving osseointegrated implants, its success is largely due to the skill of the surgeon, but also to the characteristics of the biomaterial used. Methods: Twenty-four patients needing MSA were included in the study. The patients were randomly allocated to 3 different groups: Anorganic Bovine Bone Mineral (ABBM) as control, Tricalcium Phosphate (TCP) with or without hyaluronic acid (HA) as test groups. Nine months after MSA bone biopsies were harvested for the histomorphometric analysis. Secondary outcomes were mean bone gain, intraoperative and post-operative complications, implant insertion torque, implant failure and patient related outcome measures (PROMs).
A randomized controlled clinical multi center trial to assess the efficacy of a combination of autologous mesenchymal stem cells and biomaterial in jaw bone regeneration prior to dental implant placement in comparison to standard autologous bone block grafting.
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.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate safety and efficacy of gene-activated matrix ("Nucleostim") for regeneration of bone tissue in maxillofacial area. Patients with congenital and acquired maxillofacial defects (sockets of extracted teeth, bone defects after injuries, surgeries, excision of benign neoplasms and pseudotumors, etc.) or alveolar bone atrophy will be included into the study.
Autologous MMSCs will be isolated from oral mucosa biopsy sample and expanded in vitro.Tissue engineered construction will be created using synthetic tricalcium phosphate and autologous MMSCs. Patients will undergo sinus lift procedure with implantation of created tissue-engineered construction. This is a single arm study with no control. All patients receive cell therapy.
In this study, the investigators will evaluate the dimensional changes of alveolar bone in the preserved sites in comparison with extraction only conventional healed sockets, as well. 1. Dimensional changes of the alveolar ridge contour after socket preservation in comparison to conventional tooth extraction. 2. Evaluation the stability of implants placed at the preserved sockets. 3. Histological evaluation of newly formed bone at the socket preserved sites in comparison with extracted only healed sites.
The hypothesis of this study is that there is a significant difference in bone maturation after sinus grafting determined by the distance from the buccal to the palatal wall of this cavity.
