The current concept of dental implants is to achieve functional and aesthetic rehabilitation with minimal trauma. Intervention at the very beginning of extraction could reduce the surgical trauma in late stage and complexity of bone and soft tissue augmentation. Ridge preservation involves the grafting in the extraction socket, preserving or augmenting the residual crestal ridge. The aim of this article is to review the definition, indication and key points during operation of ridge preservation. Combining with personal clinical experience, the development tendency of the technology has been discussed.

Objective To analyze the bone remodeling around the implant in patients with chronic maxillary sinusitis after the osteotome sinus floor elevation (OSFE). Methods 60 patients with implant restoration in the posterior maxilla area by OSFE from January, 2015 to June, 2016 in our department were selected retrospectively in this study. They were divided into two groups according to the mucosal thickness. Changes in marginal bone level over time were observed. Results By the Independent sample t test, the apical bone height (ABH) and marginal bone loss (MBL) was compared between the two groups at 6 months and 3 years after surgery. There was no statistically significant difference in ABH and MBL between the two groups (P>0.05). 3 years after surgery, the VBG in the inflammation group was significantly lower than that of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion For patients with chronic maxillary sinusitis, it is feasible to use the Osteotome sinus floor elevation, and the prognosis is good.

Objective The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and long-term clinical outcomes of autogenous bone block/laminar reconstruction of alveolar ridge defect, and analyze the key factors affecting the success rate of autogenous bone graft and implants. Methods And Materials This retrospective study was conducted from January 2000 to December 2015. A total of 66 patients underwent autogenous onlay bone graft to reconstruct bone defect were enrolled in this trial, and all the patients were followed-up for at least 5 years, The width and vertical height of alveolar bone were measured at the time of surgery and reentry surgery. Integration of graft, implant survival rates and complications were recorded. Results 89 patients were screened for eligibility. Eventually, 66 patients with 116 implant sites were enrolled in this trial. Of these, 50 patients received horizontal augmentation, while 16 received vertical augmentation. The average of follow-up was 8.1 years. Bone resorption rate after horizontal and vertical augmentation was 9.0% and 10.9% respectively. Graft integration and implant survival rates were 95.8% and 95.7% respectively. 3 bone blocks failed to integrate. Among all the 116 implants, periimplantitis occurred in 5 cases. 1 case presented paresthesia lasting up to 6 months because of minor nerve impairment. Conclusion This study demonstrated that autogenous bone graft was effective and reliable for reconstruction of severe atrophic alveolar ridges. Favorable fixation, appropriate technology selection and flap management had great influence on graft integration and bone maintenance.

The purpose of this clinical case analysis was to report the treatment and follow-up outcomes of one case with severe bone defect at the edentulous site, and to conduct a preliminary investigation of the efficacy of dentin shell technique for alveolar bone augmentation based on this case. One partial edentulous case caused by chronic periodontitis was included. Because of the significant bone resorption, the vertical distance between alveolar crest and inferior alveolar nerve canal was 3.63 mm approximately. Dentin shell technique was applied to conduct bone augmentation in this case. The non-functional third molar was extracted and processed into dentin shells with a thickness of ≤; 2 mm. The dentin shells were fixed at the recipient sites as an external barrier. The space between dentin shells and host bone was filled with Bio-Oss particles mixed with concentrated growth factor (CGF). A vertical bone gain of 10.62 mm was achieved 6 months after the bone augmentation surgery. Two implants were placed. The bone height and width remain stable without significant bone resorption, and the bone density increased, which indicated favorable bone regeneration outcome 6 months after implant placement. The outcomes of definitive restoration and follow-up were satisfying. Dentin shell technique is a novel three-dimension bone augmentation method and provides a novel choice for patients with non-functional natural teeth. But the efficacy of dentin shell technique needs further investigation in clinical trials with larger sample sizes and longer follow-up periods.

To investigate clinical approach of bone and soft tissue reconstruction and fixed implant restoration for dysplasia patient. Jaw reconstruction was done by iliac graft with digital guide and implants were placed under surgical guide. Free gingiva graft and second stage surgery was applied after implant osseointegration. Function and esthetic outcome was verified through fixed temporary restoration. Full arch screw retained fixed prosthesis was delivered for final restoration. Bone volume was good enough for implant placement. Implant ossteointegration was successful with enough keratinized tissue around implant after free gingiva graft. Patient was satisfied with the esthetic and masticatory function. The result was stable at 24 months follow-up. Fixed implant restoration for ectodermal dysplasia patient after hard and soft tissue augmentation was an effective therapy approach. Short-term result was stable.

Implant therapy has become a routine restoration method for partial edentulous arch in patients with periodontitis. Since alveolar ridge preservation can provide superior hard and soft tissue conditions for implant therapy, it has been increasingly used in clinical practice. This article illustrates a case of long-term obersvation of alveolar ridge preservation in upper and lower molars with advanced periodontitis via two different techniques. In this paper, we discussed the rationale of the selection of two procedures of alveolar ridge preservation, and the imaging methods available for the evaluation of the results. This article provided experience for clinical management of molars with advanced periodontitis.

Molar sites with advanced periodontitis often caused severe bone loss. Maxillary second molar lies in the distal area of the maxillary arch, where oral hygiene is difficult to perform and implant treatments has higher risk. Ridge preservation is performed after tooth extraction to facilitate implant placement by maintaining hard and soft tissue contour. This article presents a case with bilateral maxillary second molars receiving different methods of ridge preservation prior to implant reconstruction at 6 years of function, which provides evidence and clinical experience for the treatment plan and management for such kind of cases.
