Abstract
Horizontal bone augmentation of the maxillary and mandibular alveolar ridges has been conventionally performed using mini titanium alloy screws. The titanium alloy screws are used to fixate corticocancellous block grafts to the recipient site or for tenting the mucoperiosteum to retain particulate bone grafts. Nonresorbable guided tissue regenerative membranes reinforced with titanium have also been developed to use with particulate bone grafts to augment alveolar ridge defects. This report demonstrates the use of resorbable ultrasound-activated pins and resorbable foil panels developed by KLS Martin for augmenting the alveolar ridges with particulate bone grafts.
