Treatment of a bilaterally severely resorbed posterior mandible due to early tooth loss by Guided Bone Regeneration using customized allogeneic bone blocks: A case report with 24 months follow-up data.
Journal of Esthetic and Restorative Dentistry 2018 June 20
OBJECTIVE: The use of allogeneic bone grafts for alveolar ridge reconstruction has become an often-discussed alternative to augmentation procedures using autografts. Nevertheless, there still is a lack of literature concerning long-time experiences of allografts for alveolar ridge reconstruction. Especially the results of the use of allogeneic bone blocks for mandible reconstructions need to be further investigated.
CLINICAL CONSIDERATIONS: In this case report, we present the use of customized allogenic bone blocks in Guided Bone Regeneration (GBR) procedures for severely deficient mandibulary bones, the implantation after a healing period of 5 month and the 24-month follow-up data.
CONCLUSIONS: Customized allogeneic bone blocks seem to be a successful alternative to augmentations with autologous bone blocks reconstructing highly resorbed mandibulary alveolar ridges, showing highest volume stability and no signs of bone resorption after implant loading.
CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: The application of customized allogeneic bone blocks has shown to be a successful augmentation technique even compared with with autologous bone blocks reconstructing highly resorbed mandibulary alveolar ridges demonstrating no compromises regarding clinical outcome, functionality and esthetics.
