Horizontal Alveolar Ridge Augmentation in Implant Dentistry : A Surgical Manual

Horizontal Augmentation of the Alveolar Ridge in Implant Dentistry: A Surgical Manual presents the four main methods of horizontal ridge augmentation in a clinically focused surgical manual. After an introductory section and requirements for dental implants, sections are devoted to each procedure: ridge-split, intraoral onlay block bone grafting, guided bone regeneration, and horizontal distraction osteogenesis. Chapters written by international experts in each augmentation procedure Step-by-step instruction for each technique More than 1,100 clinical photographs and illustrations References; Section II: Guided Bone Regeneration (GBR) with Particulate Grafting in Implant Dentistry; Chapter 9: The Biology of Particulate Bone Grafting in Implant Dentistry: Regenerative Materials of Choice; Bone Grafting and Bone Graft Substitute; Selection of Bone Graft and Bone Substitute Materials; Use of Membrane Barrier for Guided Bone Regeneration (GBR); Supplementation of Bone Graft with Biologics (Biomimetics); Regenerative Strategies/Approaches Utilizing Particulate Bone Grafts; Determinants for Implant Site Augmentation; Conclusion; References
