    Summary

    Mandibular ridge augmentation bone grafts showed continuous resorption over 3.5 years but patients remained satisfied with dental function. This study evaluated graft outcomes and patient satisfaction following the surgical procedure.

    Area of Science:

    • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
    • Regenerative Medicine
    • Dental Implantology

    Background:

    • Mandibular ridge augmentation is a surgical procedure to enhance the jawbone for dental restorations.
    • Graft resorption can impact the long-term success of augmentation procedures.
    • Patient satisfaction and functional outcomes are critical measures of treatment efficacy.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the long-term outcomes of mandibular ridge augmentation.
    • To assess bone graft resorption and patient satisfaction after augmentation.
    • To determine the correlation between graft stability and dental function.

    Main Methods:

    • Follow-up studies were conducted on six patients who underwent mandibular ridge augmentation.
    • Data collection included clinical observations, subjective patient feedback, and measurements of vertical bone graft loss.
    • Study duration ranged from nine months to approximately 3.5 years post-surgery.

    Main Results:

    • Continuous resorption of bone grafts was observed in all patients following surgery.
    • Despite graft resorption, patients reported high levels of satisfaction with the augmentation procedure.
    • Current dental function was generally reported as satisfactory by the patients.

    Conclusions:

    • Mandibular ridge augmentation can lead to significant bone graft resorption over time.
    • Patient satisfaction and functional outcomes may remain favorable despite radiographic evidence of resorption.
    • Further research is needed to optimize graft materials and techniques to minimize resorption while maximizing functional longevity.
