Horizontal ridge augmentation of a deficient alveolar bone site is performed either simultaneously with implant placement or in a staged approach prior to implant insertion. There are several availabl...
A healthy 25-year-old male patient presented with a missing upper left central incisor after clinical and radiographic examination, the site showed a class III defect horizontal atrophy. The procedure...
DLT was successfully used for horizontal alveolar ridge augmentation, thus allowing a prosthetically driven implant placement. More cases assessing implant survival and success are needed to confirm t...
The aim of this systematic review was to evaluate the benefit of ridge preservation (RP) with minimally invasive (MI) approaches with or without concomitant implant placement on morbidity, esthetics, ...
Vertical bone augmentation for dental implants in the posterior mandibular region with significant bone resorption is challenging. For this purpose, methods such as block bone grafting with screw fixa...
To evaluate the effects of the alveolar ridge split (ARS) technique on gained horizontal width of the alveolar ridge and implant survival rate....
Electronic searching was performed in six electronic databases (Pubmed, Embase, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Web of Science, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, and SIGLE) ...
24 included studies were observational, and 1 study was a randomized controlled trial (RCT). 14 studies investigated the gained width of the horizontal alveolar ridge, and 17 examined the implants' su...
Recent ARS technique seems to be an effective method of bone augmentation with enough gained width and a high implant survival rate. Further long-term and RCTs research remains needed to enhance the s...
The ARS technique could generate sufficient bone volume, and implants had a high-level survival rate. Therefore, ARS has been proposed to be a reliable horizontal bone augmentation technique that crea...
This study aimed to compare the dentin block (D-group) harvested from impacted wisdom teeth with autogenous ramus bone block (A-group) for horizontal alveolar ridge augmentation....
Forty-two patients with anterior missing teeth and horizontal ridge defect were randomly assigned to two groups (n = 21 per group) to receive either dentin block group or autogenous bone block. Six mo...
All sites healed uneventfully, and the mean overall CRWG 6 months after augmentation was 3.52 ± 0.56 mm and 2.24 ± 0.86 mm in the D and A groups, respectively, with statistically significant differenc...
The present clinical study revealed that dentin block may serve as an alternative graft to support horizontal alveolar ridge augmentation. Dentin blocks showed less resorption than autogenous bone blo...
Guided bone regeneration (GBR) is a validated technique with satisfactory outcomes during 30 years of follow-up. The use of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) membrane for vertical augmentation has been s...
An electronic search in PubMed Central's and additional electronic databases was performed. The search strategy was limited to human studies, full-text English or French articles published from 1990 u...
A total of 43 articles were found to be eligible, and 11 of these met the predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Based on the results of this systematic review, an algorithm for the management o...
Postoperative membrane exposure is not a determining factor for the success of bone grafting. In cases with postoperative complications, the majority of cases still achieved adequate implant-prostheti...
Oral rehabilitation through implant supported dental restorations often requires a ridge augmentation procedure (RAP) prior to implant fixture placement since tooth extraction/loss results in alveolar...
This randomized controlled trial evaluated the impact of a partially exposed non-absorbable membrane (dPTFE) in Alveolar Ridge Preservation (ARP) procedures on clinical, tomographic, immunoenzymatic, ...
Patients with a hopeless maxillary single-rooted tooth demanding rehabilitation with implants were included. Patients were randomized into two groups: dPTFE (n = 22)-tooth extraction followed by ARP u...
Greater gain in Keratinized Mucosa Width (KMW) was observed in the dPTFE (1.33 ± 0.98 mm) compared to USH (0.59 ± 0.98 mm) (Mann-Whitney test, Z = 2,28, p < 0.05). USH showed a reduction of pain/disco...
dPTFE was superior to USH by increasing KMW gain. However, dPTFE without bone graft presented similar bone loss compared to USH. This clinical trial was not registered prior to participant recruitment...
Alveolar ridge resorption following tooth extraction often renders a lateral bone augmentation inevitable. Some patients, however, suffer from severe early (during graft healing, E...
Patients who underwent a guided bone regeneration (GBR) procedure were screened for inclusion according to the following criteria: (1) a relatively symmetrical maxillary arch; (2) an intact contra-lat...
A total of 17 patients (23 augmented sites) were included. After E...
Within the limitations of this study, the results indicate that the dimensions of a lateral bone augmentation are defined by the "individual phenotypic bone boundaries" of the patient....
To report on the results obtained with computer-aided-design/ computer-assisted-manufacturing (CAD/CAM) custom-made synthetic hydroxyapatite/beta-tricalcium-phosphate (HA/beta-TCP) bone grafts in alve...
The procedure included: (1) cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) of the bone defect; (2) virtual design of the custom-made onlay bone grafts; (3) milling of grafts from a pre-formed block of synthetic...
Twenty-six patients underwent ridge augmentation with custom-made CAD/CAM HA/beta-TCP onlay grafts. Eight months later, these patients were rehabilitated with dental implants. During surgery, 25/26 (9...
With custom-made CAD/CAM synthetic HA/beta-TCP onlay grafts reconstruction of small vertical and/or horizontal defects of the alveolar ridge was obtained; this enabled implant placement, with high imp...
Custom-made CAD/CAM synthetic HA/beta-TCP onlay grafts may represent an option for regeneration of small bone defects prior to implant placement....
