The present technical note describes the use of the technique by a staged approach, called incremental tSFE (i-tSFE), in the augmentation of severely resorbed edentulous ridges.
***Adjusted for maternal age, BMI, smoking, cx status at admission, epidural, fetal head circumference, fetal weight, gestational age, duration of first and second stages, augmentation during first and second stages.
Within the limitations of this clinical study, we may conclude that the use of CCXBB in combination with DBBM particles and a native bilayer collagen membrane for staged lateral bone augmentation in severe atrophic alveolar crests achieved significant horizontal crestal width allowing for staged implant placement in most of the patients.
The purpose of this investigation was to evaluate histologically and immunohistochemically the behavior of CCXBB blocks when used for staged lateral bone augmentation in severe human horizontal residual bone defects.
Although this preliminary evidence on the performance and histological behaviour of equine bone blocks seems promising, there is still limited information when used in staged horizontal bone augmentation of large osseous defects.
The early implant survival rate of 99.7% found in the present material is very high comparable to that in the previous systematic reviews after staged horizontal ridge augmentation [9, 10, 22, 62, 65].
In a clinical study, the tissue reaction to a synthetic, HA-based and xenogeneic, bovine-based bone substitute material was compared histologically and histomorphometrically in a two-stage sinus augmentation procedure.
This phase II study was designed to evaluate 2 concentrations of recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2) for safety and efficacy in inducing adequate bone for endosseous dental implant in patients requiring staged maxillary sinus floor augmentation.
The most frequently applied bone augmentation techniques are staged guided bone regeneration procedures which include transplantation of an autologous bone block adding mechanical support to the covering soft tissues [10].
The present manuscript reports the histological outcomes of a prospective single arm study evaluating the safety and clinical performance of CCXBB blocks when used as replacement bone grafts for lateral bone augmentation prior to staged implant placement.
In these cases, dental implants are usually placed staged to the lateral bone augmentation procedure and autogenous bone blocks have been the state of the art procedure, resulting in superior results in mean horizontal bone gains when compared with guided bone regeneration with particulate bone grafts [4, 7, 8].
