Abstract
|
|
|
|
A severely vertical resorbed ridge is a significant challenge in implant dentistry. To solve this problem, several augmentation techniques, such as guided bone regeneration (GBR), onlay bone grafts, distraction osteogenesis, and ridge splitting techniques, have been proposed and used for several years. Among these methods, vertical ridge augmentation using guided bone regeneration aims to build space and guide osteoblasts to this space to promote osteogenesis. The aim of guided bone regeneration is to maintain and stabilize the space and block the proliferation of adjacent soft tissue. In our hospital, we encountered a case of a woman in her forties with an atrophied mandible, who underwent implant surgery in the right mandible. Titanium reinforced Gore-Tex (TRG) was used to augment the mandible and titanium mesh was used in the left mandible. Favorable results were obtained. This report compares the two methods and reviews the relevant literature.
