Abstract EN
Trial Design.
This analysis compared the outcome of fresh-frozen versus autologous bone block grafts for horizontal ridge augmentation in patients with Cawood and Howell class IV atrophies.
Methods.
Seventeen patients received autologous grafts and 21 patients received fresh-frozen bone grafts.
Patients underwent CT scans 1 week and 6 months after surgery for graft volume and density analysis.
Results.
Two autologous and 3 fresh-frozen grafts failed.
Autologous and fresh-frozen grafts lost, respectively, 28% and 46% of their initial volume (P=0.028).
It is noteworthy that less dense fresh-frozen blocks lost more volume than denser grafts (61% versus 16%).
Conclusions.
According to these 6-month results, only denser fresh-frozen bone graft may be an acceptable alternative to autologous bone for horizontal ridge augmentation.
Further studies are needed to investigate its behaviour at longer time points.
