Evaluation of Horizontal Bone Gain of Ridge Augmentation Using Customized Porous Zirconia Shell.
Sponsor: Ahmed Shawky
Summary
Khoury technique, which employs autogenous bone blocks harvested from the patient, has been widely used for horizontal and vertical ridge augmentation. This method introduces critical limitations, including the technical complexity, morbidity associated with donor site harvesting, such as infection, neurosensory disturbances, and post-operative discomfort This clinical case series aims to demonstrate how customized pours zirconium shell could be an alternative technique for ridge augmentation to overcome the limitations of Khoury shell technique.
Official title: Tomographic Evaluation of The Dimensional Changes After Horizontal Ridge Augmentation of the Lower Posterior Mandible Using a Novel Customized Porous Zirconia Shell Technique: Clinical Case Study.
