Abstract

Purpose: The aim of this study was evaluate using of pre-adapted titanium mesh on 3D-model with bovine bone graft and platelet-rich fibrin for mandibular ridge augmentation.

Patients and methods: this study was carried out on eight patients with atrophic posterior ridge following extraction of mandibular posterior teeth by using the Pre-adapted Titanium Mesh with Bovine Bone Graft and Platelet-Rich Fibrin, then implant installation simultaneously after removing Ti-mesh. Clinically and Radiographic evaluation of graft and implant stability.

Results: 6 months post-augmentation, CBCT evaluation revealed mean horizontal bone gain of 4.828 mm (±0.378) and 3.822 mm (±0.828) for vertical bone gain. Ti- mesh exposure occurred in only one patient but wasn't affect all graft and implants survival rate of 100% (implant-based) .

Conclusion: This study suggested that using of pre-adapted Ti-mesh and bovine bone graft could considered as a good effective treatment modality for defective alveolar ridge augmentation of the mandibular ridge.
