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 b...

Augmentation of deficient and atrophic alveolar ridges is an important aspect of dental implant therapy with the goal of providing a functional restoration in harmony with adjacent natural dentition. Bone splitting technique is considered a distinguished augmentation method for treatment of deficient alveolar ridges. According to this procedure, the compromised alveolar ridge is opened from the...

OBJECTIVES Interest in bone graft material has increased with regard to restoration in cases of bone defect around the implant. Autogenous tooth bone graft material was developed and commercialized in 2008. In this study, we evaluated the results of vertical and horizontal ridge augmentation with autogenous tooth bone graft material. MATERIALS AND METHODS This study targeted patients who had ...

BACKGROUND dental implants require sufficient bone to be adequately stabilised. For some patients implant treatment would not be an option without horizontal or vertical bone augmentation. A variety of materials and surgical techniques are available for bone augmentation. OBJECTIVES to test whether and when augmentation procedures are necessary and which is the most effective technique for ho...

Thin alveolar ridges prevent dental implant placement. A variety of autogenous, allografts, xenografts, and alloplastic onlay grafts, alone or in different combinations, have been used to provide sufficient ridge width for proper positioning of endosseous implants. Disadvantages with the iliac crest donor site include significant resorption, patient morbidity, and high costs due to hospitalizat...

BACKGROUND The present study aimed at evaluating the efficacy of a novel technique, the bone lamina technique, in horizontal ridge augmentation clinically & radiographically using a combination of allogenic cortical shell, particulate xenograft and resorbable collagen membrane. MATERIAL AND METHODS Localized horizontal ridge defects, in ten patients (6 male, 4 female), with bucco-palatal ridg...

The purpose of the present study is to present the results of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) augmentation for patients having rotational instability despite an intact vertical graft in lieu of conventional revision ACL reconstruction. ACL augmentation surgery with a horizontal graft was performed to augment a healed vertical graft on five patients and an accelerated rehabilitation protocol wa...
