Vertical Deficeny of Posterior Mandible Clinical Trial
Official title:
Assessment of Vertical Ridge Augmentation for Posterior Mandible Using Computer Guided Onlay Versus Free Hand Onlay Grafting Procedures: A Randomized Clinical Split Mouth Trial
for patients with vertical bone loss in posterior mandible area......invistigators use chin blocks for vertical augmentation...i compare between using guide for positiong the block with the desired position using special surgical guide versus position the block with free hand technique
• The CBCT scan images will be imported into a computer software (Mimics15, Materialise, Leuven, Belgium) for the reformatting of the retrieved DICOM images and reconstruction of three-dimensional virtual model of both the donor and recipient sites. The virtual model will be imported into a second software (3-Matic, Materialise, Leuven, Belgium) specialized in designing medical devices and surgical stents. - The 1st surgical guide will be designed to guide the harvesting of two bilateral bone blocks ensuring that each block is designed with the superior osteotomy line more than 5 mm away from the apices of the anterior teeth and the inferior line more than 5 mm away from the inferior border of the mandible and the medial line 5 mm away from the symphysis, with two screw holes in the symphysis area to fixate the guide to the bone. - The 2nd surgical guide will be designed to guide the fixation of the onlay graft, the design will include two screw holes placed with minimum 2mm safety margin below the inferior alveolar canal to fixate the guide in place, and two more screw holes placed supracrestal to fixate the graft to the guide superiorly. - Finally, the surgical guide will be printed using fused deposition modeling technology with acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) plastic material. All guides will be sterilized using 2.4% gluteraldehyde for 12 hours prior to the surgery. All surgeries will be performed by the same surgeon. ;
