Autogenous Ramus Bone Block Harvesting With Piezosurgery

September 17, 2022 updated by: Ferit Bayram, Marmara University

A Prospective Randomized Trial Comparing Conventional And Piezosurgery Method In Mandibular Bone Block Harvesting From The Retromolar Region

The aim of this randomized prospective clinical trial was to evaluate the outcome of bone block harvesting from the retromolar region using the Conventional and Piezosurgery Method.

The study was planned on 19 patients (13F,6M) on 31 donor sites. In patients with bilateral bone harvesting, the donor site and the surgical method to be used were determined by the randomization protocol, while in patients with bone harvesting from a single site, the donor site was determined by considering parameters such as proximity to the operation site and distance to the inferior alveolar nerve. Clinical parameters such as operation time, pain, swelling, trismus, nerve damage were evaluated.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Piezosurgery Group
In the experimental group, a piezosurgical device was used to harvest the bone block from the ramus area.
In this invervention, the piezo-surgical device settings were set to irrigation: '4', function: 'cortical', light: 'auto'. After the full-thickness flap was lifted with the periosteal elevator, superior and vertical osteotomies were performed with the OT-12 piezo-surgical tip. Lower horizontal osteotomies were performed using OT8-L or OT-8-R piezo tips according to the studied quadrant, combining the vertical osteotomy.
Active Comparator: Conventional Group
In the experimental group, a conventional burr was used to harvest the bone block from the ramus area.
In control group, After the full-thickness flap is lifted with the periosteal elevator, using a thin #9 fissure burand the surgical handpiece S-11 Straight tip , the physiodispenser settings are according to the manufacturer's recommendations. The osteotomy was performed after it was adjusted to 40,000 rpm as appropriate. Bone incisions were completed with a round bur to combine the lower horizontal osteotomies and 2 vertical osteotomies. The osteotomies were completed with the help of a thin flat drill, and the block graft was carefully separated from the donor site.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Osteotomy time
Time Frame: Intraoperative
The time from the start of the osteotomy to the luxation of the bone block was measured with the help of a digital stopwatch.
Intraoperative

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change in pain
Time Frame: 7 days
Postoperative pain was assessed using a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) ranging from the absence of pain (score 0) to the most severe pain imaginable
7 days
Change in Mouth opening
Time Frame: 7 days
The distance between the mesio-incisal corners of the upper and lower central incisors was measured with the help of a ruler when the mouth opening was at its maximum.
7 days
Change in Oral Health-related Quality of Life
Time Frame: 14 days
Evaluated by OHIP-14
14 days
Operation time
Time Frame: Intraoperative
The total time from the first incision of the operation site to the last suture was measured with the help of a digital stopwatch as the operation time.
Intraoperative
