About this study

Horizontal alveolar bone deficiency is a significant challenge in implant rehabilitation. Traditional staged augmentation techniques prolong treatment time and increase morbidity. This study introduces a novel approach in which autogenous mandibular ramus block grafts were used to reconstruct buccal walls simultaneously with implant placement. Sixteen patients received 23 implants. Outcomes included implant survival, osseointegration success, bone healing, and complications during a mean follow-up of 30.6 months.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

Patients ≥18 years of age
ASA I or II status
Presence of horizontal alveolar ridge deficiency requiring augmentation for implant placement
Treated with autogenous mandibular ramus block grafts and simultaneous implant placement
Provided informed consent for surgical and prosthetic procedures, and use of clinical and radiological data

Exclusion criteria

Systemic conditions interfering with dental implant treatment (e.g., uncontrolled diabetes, metabolic bone disease)
Incomplete clinical or radiological records
Patients with contraindications for oral surgical procedures
Patients unwilling to provide informed consent

Treatment and study plan

utogenous mandibular ramus block grafting with simultaneous dental implant placement

Procedure

Horizontal alveolar ridge augmentation performed using autogenous block grafts harvested from the mandibular ramus. The graft was fixed to reconstruct the buccal wall, followed by immediate placement of dental implants in the same surgical session. Prosthetic loading was initiated 4 months postoperatively.
