Lateral ridge augmentation using autografts and barrier membranes: A clinical study with 40 partially edentulous patients

TL;DR: The developed volumetric method (method B), based on the volume difference between the pre- and postoperative ridge, is both precise and accurate in assessing the outcome of ridge augmentation.

TL;DR: Developing of biomaterials for conductive, inductive and cell-based tissue replacement strategies that offer the possibility of predictably forming specific tissue structures, and may provide solutions to problems such as periodontal ligament detachment, alveolar bone resorption and furcation defects.

TL;DR: In the rabbit calvarium using a titanium cap GBA model, bone augmentation was significantly greater with marrow penetration than without penetration, and bone neogenesis was consistently higher in the experimental site at 3 months.

TL;DR: It is suggested that the use of bone graft materials and/or collagen membranes is better for the prevention of MBL after ridge splitting procedures.

TL;DR: The rejection of a bone allograft is histologically expressed by the disruption of vessels, an inflammatory process including lymphocytes, fibrous encapsulation, peripheral graft resorption, callus bridging, nonunions, and fatigue fractures.

TL;DR: Using a membrane technique, fibroblasts and other soft connective-tissue cells are prevented from entering the bone defect so that the presumably slower-migrating cells with osteogenic potential are allowed to repopulate the defect.

TL;DR: The currently used surgical procedure is presented through two case reports and the different aspects of the surgical technique needed to achieve a predictable success are discussed.

TL;DR: The design criteria for guided bone regeneration of the alveolar ridge bone promotion around e-PTFE-augmented implants placed in immediate extraction sockets and localized ridge augmentation usingguided bone regeneration guided bone graft augmentation is revealed.
