Summary

This randomized controlled clinical trial aims to compare the effectiveness of the Carrot Technique and Guided Bone Regeneration (GBR) for the management of horizontal alveolar ridge deficiency in patients requiring implant placement in the maxillary esthetic zone. Twenty patients will be randomly allocated into two equal groups. Clinical outcomes including implant stability and soft tissue healing, as well as radiographic outcomes including alveolar ridge width, bone density, and marginal bone loss, will be evaluated using clinical examinations and cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) during a 12-month follow-up period..

Conditions

  • Horizontal Alveolar Ridge Deficiency
  • Partial Edentulism

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Carrot Technique

Implant placement with simultaneous horizontal ridge augmentation using an autogenous bone core harvested from the implant osteotomy site with a trephine drill and fixed buccally using osteosynthesis screws.

PROCEDURE

Guided Bone Regeneration

Implant placement with simultaneous horizontal ridge augmentation using bone substitute material and a collagen membrane according to guided bone regeneration principles.
