Partial edentulism in growing children due to aplasia or trauma poses a difficult situation to manage. We present a case of horizontal ridge augmentation in a growing patient who had trauma in childho...
This patient had a history of trauma, at age 13, that resulted in mandibular fracture and loss of teeth #23-27. The definitive restorative treatment plan was postponed due to the patient's continued g...
When considering the timing of implant placement in adolescents, the clinician walks a fine line between waiting as long as possible to place the implants and racing against continued resorption of th...
Why is this case new information? There are insufficient data available when considering implant treatment in younger patients. The present case was managed with a variation of the sausage technique d...
The research was performed for the clinical and computerized tomography (CT) assessment of cortico-cancellous block allograft in the reconstruction of lateral alveolar ridge width deficiency prior to ...
Ten patients who had atrophic mandibular ridge necessitating bone augmentation prior to implant placement were randomly selected, and corticocancellous block allografts were used to augment the latera...
During the 6-month evaluation period, all the block allografts had integrated well with the host tissue. Clinically, all the grafts were found to be firm in consistency, well-incorporated, and vascular...
Bone-block allografts can be employed as a marked graft material for the management of lateral ridge defects....
During precise and accurate surgical methods, this type of bone graft can be safely used in regions of implant placement as a convenient alternative to autogenous grafts....
What factors identify the optimal bone augmentation techniques for managing slight, moderate, and severe horizontal alveolar ridge deficiency (ARD) at dental implant sites?...
Horizontal ARD is a concern at a high proportion of sites receiving dental implants, and clinicians have developed a variety of surgical procedures to address such defects. In a particular case, selec...
Multiple treatment options are available for planned implant sites exhibiting horizontal ARD; severe posterior and slight anterior defects intuitively call for different approaches. Although rigid gui...
Beta-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) is a biocompatible ceramic material widely used in the field of oral regeneration. Due to its excellent biological and mechanical properties, it is increasingly utili...
A 63-year-old female patient with significant horizontal bone loss in the posterior mandible was treated with a custom β-TCP scaffold in the context of a two-stage backward-planned implant therapy. Co...
This case highlights the potential of patient-specific β-TCP scaffolds for alveolar ridge augmentation and their advantage over traditional techniques, including avoidance of xeno-, allo-, and autogra...
This systematic review aimed to evaluate the current evidence on the effectiveness of autogenous dentin block graft prepared chairside for alveolar ridge augmentation and compare its clinical outcomes...
Three databases were screened, including prospective clinical studies, utilizing autogenous dentin blocks for ridge augmentation, with at least 3 months of postoperative follow-up....
Eight articles were included, and four of them were meta-analyzed. Dentin blocks demonstrated similar vertical bone gain and significantly higher width gain, compared to bone blocks (WMD = 0.03, 95% C...
Within its limitations, this study indicates that the autogenous dentin blocks prepared chairside could be a possible alternative to the other established bone augmentation techniques for staged ridge...
Alveolar ridge preservation is routinely indicated in clinical practice with the purpose of attenuating postextraction ridge atrophy. Over the past two decades numerous clinical studies and reviews on...
Vertical ridge augmentation is one of the most challenging procedures in implant dentistry because of the advanced skills required by the operator and the fact that bone augmentation is aimed outside ...
The present study was conducted to evaluate the effect of soft tissue augmentation using a self-inflating soft tissue expander when performed before horizontal alveolar ridge augmentation on the outco...
Sixteen patients underwent horizontal alveolar ridge augmentation using autogenous bone. For the test group, soft tissue expanders were used in a separate surgery before bone grafting surgery. For the...
After 6 months, regarding radiographic bone width, there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups, as mean bone width in group I and group II were 8.57 mm and 8.75 mm, respec...
Within the limitations of the present study, soft tissue expander has no influence on bone width gain after horizontal alveolar ridge augmentation with an autogenous bone block but may have a positive...
This review aimed to investigate the clinical outcomes of autogenous particulated dentin (APD) used for alveolar ridge preservation (ARP), evaluating volume gain, histologic/histomorphometric data, an...
The review followed PRISMA guidelines and was registered in the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO). An automated search was made in four databases (Medline/Pubmed, Sco...
Eleven studies fulfilled the inclusion criteria and were included for descriptive analysis, with a total of 215 patients, and 337 alveoli preserved by APD, spontaneous healing (blood clot), or other b...
After dental extraction, autogenous dentin was effective in terms of volume maintenance, showing promising results in histologic/histomorphometric analysis, and a low complication rate. Nevertheless, ...
An urgent issue is the preservation or reconstruction of the volume of bone tissue in planning and surgical treatment in the fields of medicine, such as traumatology, orthopedics, maxillofacial surger...
