Summary
Alveolar ridge expansion, combined with guided bone regeneration, offers a safe method to widen narrow jawbones for dental implants. Despite membrane exposure causing minor bone loss, the technique proved predictable with good long-term stability.
Area of Science:
- Dental Surgery
- Periodontology
- Regenerative Medicine
Background:
- Critical alveolar ridge defects necessitate advanced bone augmentation techniques.
- Ridge expansion aims to increase the width of the alveolar bone crest.
- Edentulous segments pose challenges for adjacent teeth and implant placement.
