After tooth extraction, alveolar bone is resorbed over time. Loss of alveolar bone and reduction of upper soft tissue poses difficulties in future implant placement and long-term survival of the implant. This case report focuses on increasing the soft and hard tissues at the implant placement site by using alveolar ridge augmentation and a xenogeneic collagen matrix as a soft tissue substitute in an extraction socket affected by periodontal disease. In each case, the width of the alveolar bone increased to 6 mm, 8 mm, and 4 mm, and regeneration of the interdental papilla around the implant was shown, as well as buccal keratinized gingiva of 4 mm, 6 mm, and 4 mm, respectively. Enlarged alveolar bone facilitates implant surgery, and interdental papillae and keratinized gingiva enable aesthetic prosthesis. This study performed alveolar ridge augmentation on patients with extraction sockets affected by periodontal disease and additionally used soft tissue substitutes to provide a better environment for implant placement and have positive effects for aesthetic and predictive implant surgery.

In the maxillary anterior region, reconstruction of the localized alveolar ridge defect is very important in enhancing the esthetics of fixed partial denture. A 40-year-old female patient presented with a chief complaint of the inconvenience and unesthetic problem of 3-unit maxillary anterior prosthesis due to alveolar ridge resorption. After removal of old prosthesis, intraoral examination revealed moderate (buccolingually 4 mm) ridge deficiency in missing tooth region, leading to the diagnosis of Class I alveolar ridge defect. One of the reconstruction techniques to overcome this problem might be a technique that combines two types of soft tissue augmentation techniques. The purpose of this paper was to demonstrate the new combined technique of roll flap and combination onlay-interpositional graft utilized to acquire sufficient dimension of recipient area by one time of operation and to present the esthetic improvement of fixed partial denture by using this procedure in case of maxillary anterior localized ridge defect.

The atrophy of edentulous ridge and pneumatization of the maxillary sinus often limit the volume of bone available for implant placement on maxillary posterior teeth. Most clinicians suffer difficulties from poor bone quality and quantity on maxillary posterior site. Thus, the success of maxillary posterior implant surgery depends on the increase of the available bone and obtaining a good initial stability of the implant after maxillary sinus reconstruction. The maxillary sinus augmentation methods include a crestal approach and a lateral approach. Less morbidity and complications after operation is major advantage to sinus augmentation using crestal approach than lateral approach. However, when the residual ridge height is ${\geq}6mm$, it is known that crestal approach is appropriate. Also delayed implantation after sinus augmentation is recommended in severely atrophic ridge. We present the three cases of implant placement simultaneously sinus augmentation using crestal approach in posterior maxilla site with ${\leq}3mm$ of residual alveolar bone.

Purpose : The purpose of this study was to evaluate peri-implant bone loss and implant success on anterior maxillary alveolar ridges and Compare Class III and Class IV ridges in the aspect of peri-implant bone loss. Material and Methods : 14 patients (aged 21 to 68, 6males and 8females), who lacked maxillary anterior teeth and were installed from January 2000 to April 2003 at Samsung Medical Center, were selected. The type of implant used included 30 $Br\ddot{a}nemark$ implant. They were taken with digital tomographic and conventional intraoral radiographic examinmation, and were treated with implant installaion without bone augmentation. The peri-implant bone resorption was measured at the mesial and distal aspect of implant on the conventional intraoral radiographs. Results : The study classified the anterior maxillary alveolar ridge and measured peri-implant bone resorption from the period of implant installation to the 2nd year after functional loading radiographically. The study revealed no statistically significant difference between two groups, which was classified by its morphology. The average bone resorption on healing period before loading was 0.18mm and 0.18mm, the 1st year of loading period, 0.77 mm and 0.84mm, and on the 2nd year of loading period, 0.07mm and 0.06mm, respectively on both Class III and class IV. Conclusion : In the knife edge form of anterior maxillary residual ridges(Class IV), implant placement without ridge augmentation does not have significant difference with that of Class III alveolar ridge in the concern of Implant success after 2 year functional loading period in the aspect of peri-implant bone resorption radiographically.

Purpose: Previous studies have solely focused on fresh extraction sockets, whereas in clinical settings, alveolar sockets are commonly associated with chronic inflammation. Because the extent of tissue destruction varies depending on the origin and the severity of inflammation, infected alveolar sockets may display various configurations of their remaining soft and hard tissues following tooth extraction. The aim of this study was to classify infected alveolar sockets and to provide the appropriate treatment approaches. Methods: A proposed classification of extraction sockets with chronic inflammation was developed based upon the morphology of the bone defect and soft tissue at the time of tooth extraction. The prevalence of each type of the suggested classification was determined retrospectively in a cohort of patients who underwent, between 2011 and 2015, immediate bone grafting procedures (ridge preservation/augmentation) after tooth extractions at Seoul National University Dental Hospital. Results: The extraction sockets were classified into 5 types: type I, type II, type III, type IV (A & B), and type V. In this system, the severity of bone and soft tissue breakdown increases from type I to type V, while the reconstruction potential and treatment predictability decrease according to the same sequence of socket types. The retrospective screening of the included extraction sites revealed that most of the sockets assigned to ridge preservation displayed features of type IV (86.87%). Conclusions: The present article classified different types of commonly observed infected sockets based on diverse levels of ridge destruction. Type IV sockets, featuring an advanced breakdown of alveolar bone, appear to be more frequent than the other socket types.

This is about the case of loss of multiple teeth and alveolar bone caused by trauma, which needed alveolar bone augmentation before implant treatment. Alveolar bone was reconstructed using iliac bone graft, and thereafter first implant surgery was followed by consolidation period of 3 months. Iliac bone resorption was observed at the time of implant placement. And that resorption was more in the horizontal dimension than in the vertical. We conclude that additional treatment planning(e.g. using alveolar distraction osteogenesis or tissue expander) should be considered besides bone graft for vertical alveolar bone augmentation. For both maxilla and mandible, prosthodontic treatment was carried out $4{\sim}5$ months after implant placement. To compensate alveolar bone deficiency, partial hybrid overdenture on maxilla and implant-supported fixed bridge on mandible were fabricated, and the total treatment was finished.
