Vertical Bone Gain and Neurosensory Affection in Computer Guided vs Conventional Sandwich Osteotomy
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The aim of this study was to assess the efficiency of the computer-guided interpositional sandwich osteotomy for the vertical bone gain and effects on vital structures (inferior dental nerve bundle) compared to free hand interpositional osteotomies.

Detailed Description
in this research a full digital sandwich osteotomy protocol was conducted to be compared with the conventional protocol. the investigators were seeking to determine the significance of using surgical computer software in sandwich interpositional bone grafting at atrophied posterior mandibles and how efficiently can it affect this technique.
Study Design
Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: computer guided sandwich interpositional bone grafting patient specific cutting guide were fabricated to perform the osteotomies ( and another patient specific guide was then fabricated to start the fixation of the cut bony segment a full digital intervention for sandwich interpositional grafting in patients with vertically atrophied mandible (bilateral split mouth study) |
Procedure: sandwich interpositional bone grafting computer guided
performing the 2 vertical and the 1 horizontal osteotomies using a cutting patient specific guide and fixation of the vertically elevated bony segment after gap calculation using patient specific fixation guides
|
Active Comparator: conventional sandwich osteotomy interpositional bone grafting conventional interpositional bone grafting was done for patients with vertically atrophied mandibles (bilateral split mouth study) |
Procedure: conventional interpositional bone grafting
performing the conventional interpositional sandwich osteotomies free-hand and fixation of the mobilized bone segment free-hand

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- amount of vertical bone gain [4 months]
measure the amount of vertical bone gained after performing the interpositional sandwich osteotomy
Secondary Outcome Measures
- neurosensory affection [4 months]
measure the affection of the inferior alveolar nerve bundle after performing the interpositional sandwich osteotomy
