Abstract:Aim
To assess in vitro the workflow for alveolar ridge augmentation with customised 3D printed block grafts and simultaneous computer‐assisted implant planning and placement.
Methods
Twenty resin mandible models with an edentulous area and horizontal ridge defect in the region 34–36 were scanned with cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). A block graft for horizontal ridge augmentation in the region 34–36 and an implant in the position 35 were digitally planned. Twenty block grafts were 3D printed out of resin … Show more
