Vertical alveolar ridge augmentation using mandibular bone cores effectively restored bone defects. This technique enabled successful dental implant placement and improved aesthetics in the anterior maxilla.

Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Regenerative Medicine

Background:

  • Vertical alveolar ridge defects compromise dental implant placement and aesthetic outcomes.
  • Restoring resorbed alveolar ridges is crucial for successful implant dentistry.
  • The anterior maxilla presents unique challenges for bone augmentation procedures.

Observation:

  • A patient with localized vertical bone defects (7mm right, 6mm left) around maxillary lateral incisors was treated.
  • Two bone cores were harvested from the mandibular symphysis using a trephine.
  • These bone cores were used for vertical ridge augmentation in the anterior maxilla.

Findings:

  • Vertical augmentation of 5mm (right) and 4mm (left) was achieved after 5 months.
  • The ridge width also increased, facilitating favorable implant positioning.

  • Two implants were successfully placed, restored, and followed for 1 year post-loading.

    • Implications:

    • This symphyseal bone core technique is a viable option for vertical alveolar ridge augmentation.
    • It offers a predictable method for restoring bone volume prior to dental implant placement.
    • The procedure enhances functional and aesthetic results in complex maxillary reconstructions.
