Summary:

Alveolar ridge augmentation using autogenous block grafts is a predictable method to augment localized alveolar ridge defects for implant placement. Large atrophic edentulous segments present a more challenging scenario in reconstruction,because there is a limited supply of intraoral donor bone. Extraoral donor sites are an option, but present an obstacle to patient treatment acceptability because of increased costs and morbidity. The purpose of this case study was to evaluate the effectiveness of using particulate human mineralized allograft in combination with an intraoral cortical block graft, in a “tenting” fashion, to augment large intraoral alveolar ridge defects for implant placement.

Progressive Bone Adaptation of Titanium Implants During and After Orthodontic Load in Humans
The aim of the present work was the evaluation of implant stability and periimplant bone reaction by histologic and clinical evaluation after therapeutic orthodontic loads. Forty-one adult patients received titanium implants as an orthodontic anchorage device; 12 patients received a retromolar or palatal implant to obtain tooth movement. Seven implants were removed at the end of the orthodontic therapy, after 2, 4, 6, and 12 months of orthodontic load, and processed for histologic examination. It…

Anterior Extraction & Implant Placement in a Severely Deficient Site

Anterior Extraction & Implant Placement in a Severely Deficient Site
Extraction and implant placement is a functionally predictable therapeutic modality. Esthetic predictability, however, can sometimes prove elusive. This is especially true for the implant replacement of severely compromised anterior teeth with hard and soft tissue deficiencies within the esthetic zone.
