UPDATES IN TREATMENT MODALITIES AND TECHNIQUES ON COMPROMISED ALVEOLAR RIDGE AUGMENTATION FOR SUCCESSFUL DENTAL IMPLANT THERAPY

The use of equine enzymatically deantigenated xenografts with preserved collagen in the alveolar ridge augmentation procedure

Installation of dental implants is often hindered by compromised alveolar ridge which requires augmentation. Several methods including autogenous bone graft, guided bone regeneration, and distraction osteogenesis are implied to restore the compromised alveolar ridge. This chapter reviews treatment modalities and techniques of alveolar ridge augmentation. Recent development and updates in this field are also presented.
