Clinical Trial: Radiographic Assessment of Guided Cortical Shell Technique for Horizontal Ridge Augmentation

U.S., April 25 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT06942013) titled 'Radiographic Assessment of Guided Cortical Shell Technique for Horizontal Ridge Augmentation' on March 16.

Brief Summary: The protocol outlines a randomized clinical trial comparing two surgical techniques for horizontal ridge augmentation in the anterior mandible:

Computer-Guided Autogenous Cortical Shell Technique (using a patient-specific guide for precise placement).

Free-Hand Autogenous Cortical Shell Technique (traditional approach without a guiding template).

Key Points:

The study aims to determine which method provides better accuracy and bone volume stability.

Cone Beam CT scans (CBCT) will assess horizontal bone gain...
