BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to assess the influence of ridge morphology on the amount of horizontal bone augmentation achieved with the sandwich bone augmentation (SBA) technique in the reconstruction of buccal dehiscence defects on dental implants. METHODS Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) was used to assess bone width changes in 26 patients who participated in a randomized contr...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of the ridge-splitting technique in the anterior maxilla, using piezoelectric surgery for immediate implant placement. Study outcomes were compared with those of implant placement in the same patients using the conventional drilling technique. MATERIALS AND METHODS Ten patients received a total of 22 implants in the anterior maxil...

Ideal alveolar ridge width and height allows placement of a natural appearing pontic, which provides maintenance of a plaque-free environment. The contour of a partially edentulous ridge should be thoroughly evaluated before a fixed partial denture is undertaken. Localized alveolar ridge defect refers to a volumetric deficit of the limited extent of bone and soft-tissue within the alveolar proc...

: The bone split procedure is a unique technique used to increase the width of narrow ridge for possible simultaneous implant placement. We would present case horizontal augmentation in this article, using an alveolar expansion approach and In report, we have described immediate placement 40-year-old male patient with missing teeth maxillary anterior tooth region who reported us treatment A suc...

Alveolar ridge distraction is a recent and promising technique for ridge augmentation. Since 1997, a new distraction system incorporating a distraction implant has been in use. It can be used for alveolar ridge distraction and is not removed from the alveolar ridge. Upon completion of the distraction, it remains in the alveolar process for later prosthetic treatment. Thirty-five patients were t...
