General Statements
Several surgical procedures are available and effective for the augmentation of deficient edentulous ridges, allowing implants to be placed. However, most of the studies are retrospective in nature, with small sample sizes and short follow-up periods. Therefore, direct comparisons between studies should not be made and definitive conclusions cannot be drawn.
Onlay Bone Grafting of Severely Resorbed Edentulous Ridges
Maxillary Sinus Floor Elevation Using the Lateral Approach
Split-Ridge/Ridge-Expansion Techniques with Simultaneous Implant Placement
Split-Ridge Technique with Interpositional Bone Grafts
Vertical Distraction Osteogenesis
Le Fort I Osteotomy with Interpositional Autogenous Bone Grafts
Bone augmentation procedures should always follow a prosthetically driven plan to allow ideal three-dimensional implant positioning. The concept of “prosthetically driven bone augmentation” should be taken into consideration whenever possible.
