Complication, vertical bone gain, volumetric changes after vertical ridge augmentation using customized reinforced PTFE mesh or Ti-mesh. A non-inferiority randomized clinical trial.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

The aim of this non-inferiority randomized clinical trial was to compare the surgical and healing complications, vertical bone gain, and volumetric bone changes after vertical ridge augmentation using two different approaches: customized Ti-reinforced d-PTFE mesh versus customized CAD/CAM Ti-mesh.

Materials and methods

Fifty patients with vertical bone defects were randomly treated with Ti-reinforced d-PTFE mesh (control group) or CAD/CAM Ti-mesh (test group) and a mix of autogenous bone and deproteinized bovine bone matrix. Surgical and healing complication rates (SCR-HCR), vertical bone gain (VBG), regenerated bone volume (RBV), and regeneration rates (RR and ERR) were recorded and analysed [significance level (α) of 0.05].

Results

Of the 50 patients, 48 u
