Abstract

Dental manipulation is often associated with the placement of implants in patients with partial or complete tooth loss. Before implants are placed, the dental surgeon is most often faced with a bone deficit in the alveolar ridge area. With any technique, the main disadvantage of autologous bone extraction is the additional trauma to the patient. Reducing the invasiveness of the surgical steps is particularly relevant in elderly patients with comorbidities [1, 2, 3]. In this article, the authors propose to use bone blocks of allogenic origin when restoring defects of the alveolar ridge of the jaw bones.

Highlights

  • Bone deficiency in the maxillofacial region is a situation that the dental surgeon encounters on a daily basis in his office

  • Such conditions as: bone atrophy in the m axil­ lary sinus area, alveolar ridge, intraosseous defects of the jaws, cortical plate defects in the form of dehiscence and fenestration, furcation defects require some kind of bone augmentation [4,5,6,7,8,9]

  • The aim of our work is to demonstrate the potential of allogen­ ic bone blocks for jawbone reconstruction in the rehabilitation of patients with partial and complete tooth loss

RESTORATION OF ALVEOLAR DEFECTS USING ALLOGENIC BONE BLOCKS

SUMMARY Dental manipulation is often associated with the placement of implants in patients with partial or complete tooth loss. The dental surgeon is most often faced with a bone deficit in the alveolar ridge area. The main disadvantage of autologous bone extraction is the additional trauma to the patient. The authors propose to use bone blocks of allogenic origin when restoring defects of the alveolar ridge of the jaw bones. The authors declare no conflict of interest.
