Abstract
|
|
|
|
Dental Implant therapy is considered one of the best treatment methods to replace a missing tooth. The resorbed alveolar ridge often limits implant placement due to deficient volume or height of available alveolar bone. Guided bone regeneration (GBR) surgery can overcome this limitation and reestablish a proper volume or height of the alveolar ridge, which also improves esthetics. The aim of this case report is to present clinical outcomes of GBR surgeries at the resorbed maxillary or mandibular anterior alveolar ridge using titanium mesh, resorbable membrane, and autogenous and/or xenogenic bone graft materials. In this report, healing was uneventful without membrane exposure, severe swelling, and infection during the whole treatment period. When the titanium mesh was removed, the augmented ridge beneath the titanium mesh was successfully healed showing newly formed hard tissue. GBR surgery with titanium mesh, resorbable membrane, and autogenous and/or xenogenic bone graft materials seemed to successfully restore deficient alveolar ridge.
