U.S., June 28 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07041398) titled 'Horizontal Ridge Augmentation Using Sausage Technique: A Retrospective Study' on June 19.
Brief Summary: This retrospective study investigates the outcomes of the sausage technique, a contemporary modification of guided bone regeneration (GBR), for the augmentation of severely horizontally deficient alveolar ridges (<4 mm width). The technique, originally introduced by Urban and colleagues, uses multiple fixation pins to enhance membrane stability and maintain graft volume through a tension dome effect.
In this study, a total of 23 patients underwent horizontal ridge augmentation using the sausage technique, with bone measurements ...
