Although the integrity of the jawbone is preserved through the stimulus of chewing, tooth
loss caused by disease or trauma leads to alveolar bone resorption (Figs. 1 and 2). In order …

Alveolar ridge preservation is routinely indicated in clinical practice with the purpose of
attenuating postextraction ridge atrophy. Over the past two decades numerous clinical …

Reconstruction of significant maxillomandibular defects is a challenge that has been much
discussed over the last few decades. Fundamental principles were developed decades ago …

Aim The primary aim of this systematic review was to evaluate the effect of various
techniques used for vertical ridge augmentation on clinical vertical bone gain. Material and …

Objectives The aim was to evaluate the role of resorbable membranes applied over
customized titanium meshes related to soft tissue healing and bone regeneration after …

Oral rehabilitation through implant supported dental restorations often requires a ridge
augmentation procedure (RAP) prior to implant fixture placement since tooth extraction/loss …

Bone regenerative procedures have been widely proved to be a reliable treatment option to
re‐create the ideal pre‐implant clinical conditions. Nevertheless, these techniques are not …

Vertical ridge augmentation is one of the most challenging procedures in implant dentistry
because of the advanced skills required by the operator and the fact that bone augmentation …

Background Guided bone regeneration (GBR) allows to achieve vertical ridge augmentation
whether with nonresorbable membranes or resorbable membranes with Ti‐mesh, but till …

Results: To avoid complications and to optimize outcomes, the following factors should be
considered by clinicians: patient selection; analysis of defect type; blood supply; antibiotic …
