Area of Science:

  • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Periodontology
  • Dental Implantology

Background:

  • Alveolar ridge resorption after tooth loss complicates dental implant success.
  • Severe alveolar atrophy necessitates bone augmentation for adequate bone volume.
  • Restoring bone height and width is crucial for implant-supported restorations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To detail a surgical protocol for horizontal and vertical alveolar ridge augmentation.
  • To demonstrate the use of customized titanium mesh in complex bone augmentation.
  • To highlight the feasibility and predictability of the described technique.

Main Methods:

  • Customized titanium mesh fabrication and precise surgical fitting.
  • Autologous bone grafting combined with bioactive agents for enhanced regeneration.
  • Stepwise protocol emphasizing complication prevention and surgical stability.

Main Results:

  • Customized mesh provides stability, facilitating superior bone regeneration.
  • Successful bone volume restoration in severely atrophic alveolar ridges.
  • Predictable clinical and radiographic outcomes supporting implant placement.

Conclusions:

  • The described protocol offers a predictable and effective solution for complex alveolar ridge augmentation.
  • Customized titanium mesh facilitates predictable bone regeneration and implant success.
  • This technique addresses significant challenges in dental implantology due to bone loss.
