Abstract
A universal problem with the use of hydroxylapatite (HAP) particles has been theirtendency to migrate beyond planned boundaries. The migration of particles can result inloss of ridge form and height. As a result, various different techniques, including suturingsurgical stents, splints, and open mucosal flap procedures, have been reported.This paper describes the author's experience using Vicryl®-Net filled with HA particlesfor local alveolar ridge augmentation procedures in a 12-year-old boy.It seemed efficient to use this material to prevent dispersion of HA particles in patientsrequiring ridge augmentation.
