Resorption in alveolar bone grafts

In his last scientific publication "The Fate of Lateral Ridge Augmentation: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.", Professor Hernández Alfaro and his research team put the magnifying glass on the different materials and techniques used for the reconstruction of the alveolar bone. In terms of techniques, block grafts seem to maintain the original volume of increase...

The guided bone regeneration technique (GBR) is used to facilitate bone regeneration when the thickness of the bone in the jaw is insufficient for the placement of a dental implant. After placement of the implant, the area of bone deficiency is coated with autogenous bone (the patient's own bone) and/or with an artificial bone replacement...

These two types of implants, because they have a longer length than regular implants, are in a special category of dental implants used in cases where the patient has significant bone loss. Like most regular implants, zygomatic (or zygomatic) and pterygoid implants are made of titanium, and the biggest difference between them is their placement...

The loss of teeth in the maxilla has as an irreversible consequence: the gradual loss of the bone that supports them, a process that can continue its course until eventually the bone disappears almost completely, making it almost impossible to place implants.
