AUGMENTATION TECHNIQUES OF THE NARROW EDENTULOUS RIDGES
Abstract:
Objectives: The paper aims at illustrating the
ways of improving the narrow edentulous ridges, using
the bone splitting technique through the classic methods;
the degree of implant integration by the use of this
technique; the success rate of the inserted implants both
in the maxillary and in the mandible after the use of the
classic bone splitting technique. Material and Method:
The study has been done on a group of 62 patients with
termino-terminal maxillary and mandible edentations,
who have come to the Clinic of Oral Implantology from
the Military Hospital in Sibiu for oral rehabilitation. They
have benefited from an implanto-prosthetic treatment
after the implant insertion in a bone split through classic
methods. Results: Three years after the insertion, the term
of mandible bone-integration has varied from 5-6 months
and in the maxillary from 8 to 10 months, the success rate
being of 98,3%. Conclusions: The capacity of bone
integration of the implants in the split bone depends on
the integrity of the bone walls resulted after the splitting,
the quality of the bone surface surrounding the implant as
well as on the primary stability of the inserted implant.
