Interventions for replacing missing teeth: horizontal and vertical bone augmentation techniques for dental implant treatment

Abstract

Interventions for replacing missing teeth: horizontal and vertical bone augmentation techniques for dental implant treatment.

Prefabricated 3d allogenic bone block in conjunction with stem cell-containing subepithelial connective tissue graft for horizontal alveolar bone augmentation: a case report as proof of clinical study principles

“…For some patients implant treatment would not be an option without horizontal or vertical bone augmentation. A variety of materials and surgical techniques are available for bone augmentation [1]. For horizontal alveolar bone defects, onlay bone grafts using autologous [2] and allogen bone blocks [3] have been described.…”

Advances in Dental Implant Positioning Techniques and Their Clinical Implications

“…A lack of sufficient BV frequently precludes conventional implant placement, necessitating the use of augmentation procedures [44]. Detailed preoperative in-formation about the needed BV can aid the surgeon in determining the best donor site [45], estimating the volume of xenographic bone substitute required [46], and minimizing the surgery duration, risk of complications, and patient expense [47].…”

To Graft or Not to Graft? Evidence-Based Guide to Decision Making in Oral Bone Graft Surgery

“…Level of evidence (LoE) classification system for treatment benefits according to the Oxford Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine (Howick et al, 2011) Evidence on treatment options involving bone graft surgery was gained from recent systematic reviews and meta-analyses (Aghaloo & Moy, 2007;Att et al, 2009;Bernstein et al, 2006;Chao et al, 2010;Chiapasco et al, 2006Chiapasco et al, , 2009Donos et al, 2008;Emmerich et al, 2005;Esposito et al, 2009Esposito et al, , 2010Graziani et al, 2004;Jensen & Terheyden, 2009;Rochietta et al, 2008;Stellingsma et al, 2004;Tan et al, 2008;Waasdorp & Reynolds, 2010) and supplemented by an electronic MEDLINE literature search (last search on 1 st August 2011). Likewise, evidence on non-grafting treatment alternatives, i.e.…”
