Guided Bone Regeneration Using Synthetic Membrane

August 26, 2013 updated by: RegeneCure, Ltd.

Horizontal Guided Bone Regeneration for Dental Implants Using Synthetic Membrane (Regenecures' AMCA GBR Dental Membrane) a Prospective, Randomized,Controlled Study.

The purpose of this study is to examine the safety and usefulness of the Regenecure guided bone regeneration membrane for stimulating bone growth in patients that don't have enough bone for dental implant placement. The study will include 16 patients in each group, 20 non-smokers and 12 smokers, a total of 32 patients will participate in the study.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Regenecure AMCA GBR Dental membrane
16 patients will undergo the guided bone regeneration procedure using the Regenecure AMCA Membrane
Patients will undergo Guided Bone Regeneration (GBR) procedure using the Regenecure AMCA GBR Membrane

16 patients will undergo the guided bone regeneration procedure using a commercially available collagen membrane
The Geistlich Bio-Gide® collagen membrane, a commercially available product, will be used in 10 patients.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Bone volume
Time Frame: Change from Baseline in bone volume at 6 months
Clinical effect on bone volume measured using CBCT. The volume of the newly formed bone will be evaluated by "subtraction" of the 2 cone beam CTs using digital measurements.
Change from Baseline in bone volume at 6 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Histomorphometry
Time Frame: 6 months
Specimens will be prepared for histological staining (H&E and Masson's trichrome stain). The stained samples will be evaluated for new bone, residual bone graft, marrow spaces and vascularity.
6 months
Safety will be demonstrated by using VAS scale for pain measurements and if the PI will consider that any adverse event device related isn't clinically significant
Time Frame: six months
Safety will be demonstrated by using VAS scale for pain measurements and if the PI will consider that any adverse event device related isn't clinically significant
