Overview
Following tooth extraction, significant bone loss occurs within the first year, with up to 50% reduction in bucco-lingual dimensions. This bone loss often creates challenges for proper implant placement, both in terms of positioning and angulation.
Essential Principles
While various augmentation procedures using different regenerative materials are available, traditional approaches using xenografts have limitations. These include lower percentages of new bone formation and less organized vascular supply within the regenerated volume. This blog post summarizes a comprehensive webinar that explores innovative approaches to addressing these challenges through bone splitting techniques.
Clinical Protocol
For cases with adequate crestal bone height but insufficient width, bone splitting presents an effective solution for horizontal augmentation. This technique offers an alternative to conventional bone grafting procedures.
Clinical Applications
The webinar explores various bone splitting techniques and strategies for horizontal ridge augmentation, providing practical insights for clinical implementation.
