No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Minimally invasive procedures with the tunnel technique have been suggested to decrease patient post-operative discomfort and morbidity in oral bone regeneration. In the ridge augmentation tunnel technique, crestal incision and the release of the connective tissue are avoided in order to enhance the blood supply of the flap. This approach preserves the blood circulation and does not damage the periosteum The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical outcome of a minimally invasive technique for maxillofacial horizontal bone augmentation .

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Horizontal Ridge augmentation

A vertical full-thickness incision in the mesial aspect of the defect ridge.Microsurgery instruments is subsequently use to carefully elevate the full thickness of the mucosa. Extreme caution must be exercised during these maneuvers to avoid tissue perforation and to maintain the integrity of the periosteum.An dermal matrix is place into the tunnel. A pouch is create between the bone and the matrix and the Biphasic Calcium Phosphate is inserted into the tunnel until the desirable ridge dimensions are obtained. Primary closure of the vertical incisions was achieved with single interrupted sutures.
