Abstract
|
|
|
This study aimed to compare the vertical and horizontal bone augmentation achieved when using different types of titanium mesh (Ti-mesh) on edentulous atrophic maxilla. Surgical intervention was performed in the maxillary molar area of three patients. One patient received A type Ti-mesh (aTM; pore size: 0.9 mm, thickness: 0.1 mm), and placement of one implant was carried out after 6 months. The remaining two patients received B type Ti-mesh (bTM; pore size: 1.7 mm, 3.37 mm; thickness: 0.3 mm;), and 4 implants were placed after 6 months. The findings showed that both types of Ti-mesh were associated with good feasibility and predictability with regard to vertical and horizontal bone augmentation. Pore size did not affect the amount of bone regenerated for implant placement. However, bTM was associated with several advantages, including decreased operation time and increased convenience during guided bone regeneration surgery.
