Horizontal Ridge Augmentation and Contextual Implant Placement with a Resorbable Membrane and Particulated Anorganic Bovine Bone-Derived Mineral

Abstract EN

Alveolar ridge deficiency is considered a major limitation for successful implant placement.

Various approaches have been developed to horizontal augmentation of bone volume.

This case report presents the medium-term results of one-stage guided bone augmentation using an anorganic bovine bone (70%) and autologous bone (30%), placed in layers, in association with resorbable collagen membrane for a subsequent implant placement.

The patient presented with a localized horizontal ridge defect in the posterior zone of the jaw.

The clinical and radiographic presentations, as well as relevant literature, are presented.
