Study Notes
Mandibular Vertical Ridge Augmentation
- Mandibular vertical ridge augmentation aims to increase the vertical height of the mandible, a common procedure before implant placement.
- The iliac crest is a common source for bone grafting, particularly in large procedures like this.
-
Cortico-cancellous bone graft from the iliac crest provides the most reliable outcome because it contains both cortical and cancellous bone.
- Cortical bone provides structural support and strength.
- Cancellous bone promotes bone regeneration.
- Guided bone regeneration (GBR) is used to facilitate bone regeneration.
- Alloplastic bone granules are synthetic materials.
- Xenograft bone granules are derived from animal sources.
