Abstract:
Alveolar ridge defects are commonly seen in partially dentate patients, and they jeopardize speech, appearance, and oral hygiene maintenance. These defects affect both soft tissues and bone and are mainly caused by trauma. These defects are more prevalent in middle-aged male patients and it is imperative that the defective ridge is augmented before receiving an implant or a fixed partial denture. This review focuses on the different types of ridge defects and their treatment options.
