Micro Titanium Augmentation Mesh (M-TAM) alone or with porous hydroxyapatite (HA) was used for alveolar ridge augmentation. While dehiscence was common, HA combined with M-TAM showed greater ridge width increase in non-dehisced sites.

Area of Science:

  • Oral surgery
  • Regenerative medicine
  • Biomaterials science

Background:

  • Alveolar ridge augmentation is crucial for dental implant success.
  • Guided tissue regeneration techniques aim to enhance bone formation.
  • Micro Titanium Augmentation Mesh (M-TAM) is a material used in these procedures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare bone formation under M-TAM alone versus M-TAM with porous hydroxyapatite (HA) bone graft substitute.
  • To evaluate the efficacy of M-TAM in guided tissue regeneration for alveolar ridge augmentation.

Main Methods:

  • The study utilized a canine model with surgically created knife-edge alveolar ridges.
  • Ridges were augmented with either M-TAM alone or M-TAM combined with porous HA.
  • Bone formation was assessed using 3D computed axial tomography and light microscopy.

Main Results:

  • A high rate of dehiscence (22/32 sites) was observed across experimental sites.
  • Increased ridge width was noted in both groups, with a greater increase in the HA group.
  • Seven of the dehisced sites also exhibited increased ridge width.

Conclusions:

  • M-TAM use in guided tissue regeneration for alveolar ridge augmentation showed a high rate of dehiscence in this animal model.
  • Non-resorbable porous hydroxyapatite (HA) as a bone graft substitute, when used with M-TAM, resulted in greater ridge width increase in sites without dehiscence.
