Methods of alveolar ridge augmentation with autograft in pre-implant preparation

Abstract

Pre-implant ridge preparation using various bone augmentation methods is used to allow the insertion of endosseous dental implants in alveolar ridge atrophy. Purpose: Comparative analysis of methods to increase the alveolar bone ridges in pronounced atrophy in pre-implant preparation with autogenous bone grafts, improving and evaluation of the optimal method. Material and methods: 63 patients (20 males and 43 females) with partial edentulousness aged between 17 and 65 years, mean age 38.9 years, between 2011—2023, whose edentulous alveolar ridge corresponds to Misch’s type C-h atrophy, were studied. Three techniques were used to increase bone volume with the use of autogenous grafts: with the use of bone blocks; bone laminates according to F. Khoury; the method proposed by the authors. Results and discussion: the surgical techniques of using each method were described, the comparative analysis of the results demonstrated the effectiveness of the method proposed by the authors.
