Vertical Ridge Augmentation with a Collagen Membrane, Bovine Bone Mineral and Fibrin Sealer: Clinical and Histologic Findings

Combined use of xenogeneic bone substitute material covered with a native bilayer collagen membrane for alveolar ridge preservation: A randomized controlled clinical trial

“…One of these RCTs involving 40 patients showed a reduction of 43% in the spontaneous healing group compared to 18% of xenograft groups at 1 mm below the crest (Jung et al., ). Another RCT with 48 anterior extraction sockets assessing spontaneous healing vs alveolar ridge preservation with xenograft demonstrated a considerable reduction in the amount of horizontal and vertical bone resorption in the xenograft group (Cardaropoli, Gaveglio, & Cardaropoli, ). A recent RCT compared extraction sockets that have been preserved with the same xenograft but covered either by a porcine collagen matrix or an epithelial connective tissue graft.…”

Vertical ridge augmentation using the modified shell technique – a case series

“…[17][18][19] Cardaropoli et al reported simultaneous placement of implants and vertical augmentation of the ridge. 20 The mean (SD) vertical gain was 4.0 (1.5) mm, but they did not report resorption of the graft. In our study the mean (SD) gain was 4.8 (1.4) mm, but mean (SD) resorption during consolidation was 0.5 (0.7) mm.…”

Use of Tisseel, a Fibrin Sealant, for Particulate Graft Stabilization

“…[17][18][19] Vertical onlay grafting for the vertically deficient ridge using Tisseel to stabilize the particulate graft has also been reported. 20 At implant placement, vertical bone augmentation procedures were performed in the patients. For patients at implant placement, vertical bone augmentation procedures were performed using xenograft stabilized with fibrin glue covered with a resorbable membrane.…”

“…Implant integration was successful in their clinical case series. 20 Horizontal alveolar ridge augmentation requires maintenance of the graft in position and bone formation within the graft to support the implants. In another report, onlays of compacted allograft bone were covered with Tisseel for lateral ridge augmentation with no membrane placed to contain the graft.…”
