Therefore, this study compared 2 methods of bone augmentation, horizontal DO and a bone-splitting (BS) method with bone graft, using an experimental dog model.
The ideal technique of bone augmentation should maintain the space during the period of bone ingrowth and implant healing and provide a stable augmentation of the bone.
Five months after sinus floor augmentation, a cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) image showed that an adequate volume of bone augmentation was achieved in site #24 (Fig. 2).
Esposito et al. [14] researched in their review the beneficial or harmful effects of bone augmentation compared to no augmentation when undertaking a sinus lift procedure.
Prosthetically guided bone regeneration can determine the amount of bone augmentation necessary for definitive prosthetic fixed rehabilitation.
Recent studies show the biomechanical aspects of restoring the glenoid width using bone augmentation and the role of the anterior capsule in recentering the humeral head on the glenoid fossa (Arciero et al., 2015; Alvi et al., 2016; Fortun et al., 2016).
While bone substitute materials are routinely used, especially vertical bone, augmentation of the jaws is still a problematic step.
It was, therefore, the aim of this prospective study to evaluate the histological outcomes of CCXBB blocks used for lateral bone augmentation in large alveolar horizontal defects of at least two adjacent missing teeth.
In one retrospective analysis which included 12,737 implants in 4206 patients, 59.7% of the implants were inserted using bone augmentation or bone expanding procedures [16].
In the present study, the fact that autogenous tooth bones were used in vertical bone augmentation after forming artificial vertical bone defects in the lower jaws of minipigs is meaningful because it is a verification of block-shaped graft materials that are effective not only in bone defects with good bony housing but also vertical bone defects with poor prognoses.
