Mini Distractor in Vertically Deficient Bone

May 5, 2020 updated by: Dr R Viswa Chandra, SVS Institute of Dental Sciences

Efficacy of Distraction Osteogenesis in Vertically Deficient Anterior Maxillary and Mandibular Bone by Using Mini Distractor With a Submerged Activation Component. A Clinical and Radiographical Study

ADO is a bone regeneration technique, introduced by Chin and Toth in 1996 based in a biological process used for regenerate and consolidate bone between two bone segments obtained after osteotomy.These segments have been gradually separated by the process of distraction. ADO can be performed both horizontally (AHDO) and vertically (AVDO).

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

Distraction osteogenesis (DO) can be used to regenerate missing hard and soft tissue, Distraction osteogenesis relies on the body's ability to generate bone as two segments of bone are "distracted" apart. The osteotomies are created and the distraction device is placed. Typically, there is a latency phase of one week were a fibrovascular bridge is formed in the osteotomy site. This provides a template to generate new bone as the segments are distracted apart during the activation phase. Once the desired distraction has occurred, the device is left in place for a period of time. Once consolidation (typically 2 to 6 months) has occurred, the distraction device can be removed and implants can be placed. Chiapasco compared GBR to DO and found that both are equally effective in alveolar bone augmentation for implant placement and further stated that the long-term prognosis of vertical bone gain in DO is more predictable.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

25 years to 70 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Experimental: Distraction osteogenesis using mini distractor

A mini distractor will be used to move bone. Distraction osteogenesis originally developed for the severe craniofacial malformations has been adapted to correct vertical defects of the oral bone to improve bone volume for dental procedures.

However, the design of the distractor

  1. has not evolved to adapt to a much smaller surgical site such as bone ridge in the oral cavity which necessitates a smaller screw.
  2. are bulky, cumbersome to place, and cause significant discomfort to the patient.
  3. has an extraoral component jutting out of the mouth to which a key (blue object) is attached to turn the screw to move bone fragments. Our Solution and the Innovation is to remove the extra-oral component by reducing the size and permitting an atraumatic placement of the screw under the gingiva (gum) thereby lessening irritation for the patient.
Device: A MINI DISTRACTOR WITH A SUBMERGED ACTIVATION COMPONENT
Mini distractor is used to regenerate alveolar bone which is resorbed due various reasons. The distractor uses a winch-like submucosal activation component which is buried in the tissue; Flicking the winch turns the screw which moves the segment upwards in the direction of black arrow increasing height.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
height of the residual bone
Time Frame: From baseline to 6months.
In radiographs, height of the residual bone will be taken as preoperative height. The gain in height of bone will be estimated after 6-months as postoperative bone height.
From baseline to 6months.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Degree of inflammation in gingiva
Time Frame: From baseline to 2-months
Degree of inflammation: degree of inflammation around the orthodontic implant was recorded by using the modified gingival index; 0 = normal gingiva; 1 = mild inflammation- slight change in color, slight edema, no bleeding on tissue manipulation. 2 = moderate inflammation- redness, edema and bleeding on tissue manipulation 3 = severe inflammation- marked redness and edema with ulceration and tendency for spontaneous bleeding.
From baseline to 2-months
