*Graphic Images* Vertical and Horizontal Ridge Augmentation utilizing Autogenous Bone Block Graft Harvested from the Jaw

Case ID: 4084

Individual results may vary.

Case Details

This patient would like to have dental implants in his right side of his lower jaw. Without any type of bone augmentation procedure to this area, this would not be possible. Therefore, a bone block harvesting procedure is elected in order provide the necessary amount of bone to this area in order to sufficiently support dental implants which is one of multiple techniques when performing ridge preservation. In addition, this will also avoid a vertical cantilever (undesirable forces which will lead to implant failures in the near future) to exist from the dental implants if they were inadvisably placed without any bone augmentation procedures. A bone block graft is harvested from a donor site from the patient’s own jaw and is separated into 2 “bone shields” (aka bone veneers, bone shells, bone blades, bone plates), bone particulate, and bone chips. They are all manipulated in shape and size and placed into the donor site in the deficient areas and fastened with fixation screws. The site is then allowed to heal for 4-6 months before dental implants are placed.

Description: BEFORE: Shows an x-ray of the deficiency of the bone in the lower right side of the patient's posterior alveolar ridge before the beginning of the surgery. AFTER: Shows the same area after the completion of the bone transplantation along with occurred healing, after the completion of implant placement along with occurred healing, and finally, after the delivery of the final oral prosthesis.

Description: AFTER HEALING OF THE BONE TRANSPLANTATION: After an adequate amount of time has occurred for healing and regeneration of new bone, the alveolar ridge is now restored to the desired height (and volume) and is now ready for the implant placements.
