Alveolar Ridge Splitting With Simvastatin/PRF Composite and Simultaneous Implant Placement
Sponsor: Maruwan Ali Alteer
Summary
This randomized controlled clinical trial evaluated the effectiveness of platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) and a simvastatin/PRF composite combined with a xenogeneic bone graft during alveolar ridge splitting with simultaneous implant placement in patients with horizontal alveolar ridge deficiency. Twenty-one participants were randomly allocated into three groups: a control group receiving xenogeneic bone graft alone, a PRF group receiving xenogeneic bone graft blended with PRF, and a simvastatin/PRF group receiving xenogeneic bone graft blended with a simvastatin/PRF composite. Clinical and radiographic outcomes were assessed to compare horizontal and vertical bone gain, bone density, and keratinized tissue width after treatment.

Conditions
Interventions
Alveolar Ridge Splitting with Simultaneous Implant Placement
Surgical expansion of the horizontally deficient alveolar ridge followed by immediate dental implant placement.
Xenogeneic Bone Graft
Xenogeneic bone graft used to augment the expanded alveolar ridge around the implant.
Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF)
Autologous platelet-rich fibrin prepared from the participant's blood and blended with the xenogeneic bone graft.
Simvastatin
Locally applied simvastatin incorporated into the PRF/xenogeneic bone graft composite to enhance bone regeneration.
