BACKGROUND The effect of membrane exposure on guided bone regeneration (GBR) for lateral ridge augmentation has been poorly addressed. This case-controlled study aimed to investigate potential effect of membrane exposure lateral ridge augmentation and subsequent implant placement. METHODS A total of 14 patients that did receive lateral ridge augmentation procedure using allogeneic cancellous ...

Background: In this research article, we evaluate the use of sub-periosteal tunneling (tunnel technique) combined with alloplastic in situ hardening biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP, a compound of β-tricalcium phosphate and hydroxyapatite) bone graft for lateral augmentation of a deficient alveolar ridge. Methods: A total of 9 patients with deficient mandibular alveolar ridges were included in t...

OBJECTIVES Alveolar ridge augmentation using intraoral autogenous block grafts to augment localized alveolar ridge defects before implant placement is a predictable method. However, large severely atrophic edentulous segments may require extraoral donor sites. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of using intraoral cortical block grafts in combination with particulate hum...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical feasibility of using a native collagen physical resorbable barrier made of bovine pericardium to augment localized alveolar ridge defects for the subsequent placement of dental implants. MATERIALS & METHODS There were 8 systemically healthy patients with 19 implant sites (aged 35 to 68 years), with inadequate dental alveolar ridge...

Resorption of alveolar ridge is a common sequel of tooth loss. It is even more if trauma occurs. In such cases it becomes a challenge for the dentist to restore esthetics and function. Therefore augmentation of alveolar ridge is an important aspect of dental implant therapy. Here is a case of step by step procedure of restoration of localized maxillary ridge deficiency successfully treated with...

Most of the cases of dental implant surgery, especially the bone defect extensively, are essential for alveolar ridge augmentation. As known as cell therapy exerts valuable effects on bone regeneration, numerous reports using various cells from body to regenerate bone have been published, including clinical reports. Mesenchymal cells that have osteogenic activity and have potential to be harves...

PURPOSE The purpose of this article was to evaluate the suitability of deep-frozen allograft for ridge augmentation procedures in severely atrophic maxillae and to evaluate the clinical success of dental implants inserted after grafting and before prosthetic rehabilitation. PATIENTS AND METHODS This study included 13 patients (3 men and 10 women) aged 36 to 65 years. All the patients selected...

The aim of the study was to investigate the clinical-anatomical peculiarities of edentulous mandibular dental segments (eMDS), situated in the posterior mandible, as well as to estimate the possibility of dental implantation for every clinical-anatomical eMDS type. One hundred and ninety-eight patients were examined, 88 male and 110 female. Orthopantomography, computer tomography, clinical exam...

  Objective: Alveolar ridge preservation in patients with inadequate bone volume is one treatment option for successful implant placement and can be done by using bone graft materials. On the other hand, Ceno Bone has been recently produced by Hamanand Saz Baft Kish Co. as a bone bioimplant of allograft origin. This study aimed to assess the clinical, histologic and histomorphometric results of...

© 2016 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim 1 wileyonlinelibrary.com To prevent ridge resorption and postextraction alveolar bone loss, immediate or early implant placement procedures have become a key component and standard-ofcare treatment following tooth removal in clinical dentistry.[4] Several clinical techniques and many biomaterials have been introduced in an effort to preserve alv...
