Severe alveolar ridge deficiency can prevent ideal implant placement. Ridge augmentation procedures are necessary to regain lost alveolar structures. The corticocancellous block bone graft was harvested from the mandibular symphysis. This block bone was fixed to the lateral aspect of the ridge with titanium screws. Seven months later, the autogenous bone graft was reentered and sufficient bone volume was gained to allow implant placement. The fixation screws were removed and 3I implants were inserted. No complication and postoperative alteration in chin contour were observed. This report demonstrates that chin graft offers a predictable alternative in the reconstruction of ridge deficiency for implant placement.

하악 구치부에 있어서 치조제 결손은 임플란트 치과학에 있어서 큰 장애물이라 할 수 있다. 이러한 치조제를 재건하는데 있어서 여러 가지 술식이 활용되고 있다. 술식들의 선택 및 필요성은 현저한 질병의 이환률과 관련이 있으며, 2차적인 수술 부위를 요구하는 경우도 있다. 골 유도 재생술(GBR, guided bone generation)의 발전은 결손이 존재하는 치조제의 이환률을 낮추며, 2차적인 수술 부위를 요구하지 않는 경우로 볼 수 있다. 본 증례에서는 심하게 결손된 하악 치조골에 자가골을 제외한 동종골, 이종골, 합성골 입자형 골이식재를 조합하여 골 유도 재생술(GBR)을 진행한 후에 임플란트를 성공적으로 식립을 하였다. 두 증례에서 양호한 식립을 보였음에 보고하는 바이다.

Purpose: This study presents the use of mini implants for fixed restoration and implant supported overdenture to enable the practitioner to overcome the anatomic obstacles of ridge width and narrow interdental space. Patients and methods: This study consisted of 9 patients who required single implants for one or two teeth replacement and 1 patient who required implant supported overdenture after mandiblectomy, iliac bone graft due to ghost cell tumor. The ages ranged from 29 to 70 years (mean 51). All patients were in good health. Clinical and radiographs were taken pretreatment, postoperatively, during rehabilitation, and at follow ups. Results: Total implant survival rate was 94.7%. One implant was removed due to its mobility as a result of bad bone quality (Type IV) and patient's carelessness (Heavy smoker). All patients except one reported complete satisfaction regarding to function, aesthetics, and phonetics. Radiographic follow up every 3months postoperatively showed success in achieving function and maintaining marginal bone level. Conclusion: Clinician can overcome both severe ridge deficiency and small interdental space with mini implant.

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.

비심미적인 임플란트유지형 보철물의 심미성 개선은 매우 어려운 문제이며 특히, 상악 전치부 임플란트와 관련되어 있는 경우는 더욱 그러하다. 본 증례는 상악전치부 임플란트의 주기적 배농과 비심미성을 주소로 보철과의사로부터 의뢰된 69세 남자 환자의 심미성 개선에 관한 보고이다. 임플란트는 다소 깊게 식립되어 긴 임상치관길이를 보였으며, 주변 연조직 양도 부족하였다. 임상 검사와 방사선검사 후, 깊게 식립된 임플란트의 제거 대신 예후가 불량한 인접 치아의 발치 후 임플란트를 추가 식립하여 임플란트 유지형 고정성보철물을 제작하고, 깊게 식립된 임플란트는 제거 대신 치조제 증대에 도움을 주기 위해 침수(submergence)시켜 치조제를 증대시키는 방식을 선택하였다. 적절한 진단이 동반된 임플란트 침수가 전치부의 임플란트 비심미성을 개선시킬 수 있는 또다른 대안이 될 수 있을 것이다.

Purpose: To investigate the effects of simultaneous soft and hard tissue augmentation and the addition of polydeoxyribonucleotide (PDRN) on regenerative outcomes. Materials and Methods: In five mongrel dogs, chronic ridge defects were established in both mandibles. Six implants were placed in the mandible, producing buccal dehiscence defects. The implants were randomly allocated to one of the following groups: 1) control: no treatment; 2) GBR: guided bone regeneration (GBR) only; 3) GBR/PDRN: GBR+PDRN application to bone substitute particles; 4) GBR/CTG: GBR+connective tissue grafting (CTG); 5) GBR/VCMX: GBR+soft tissue augmentation using volume stable collagen matrix (VCMX); and 6) group GBR/VCMX/PDRN: GBR+VCMX soaked with PDRN. The healing abutments were connected to the implants to provide additional room for tissue regeneration. Submerged healing was achieved. The animals were euthanized after four months. Histological and histomorphometric analyses were then performed. Results: Healing abutments were gradually exposed during the healing period. Histologically, minimal new bone formation was observed in the dehiscence defects. No specific differences were found between the groups regarding collagen fiber orientation and density in the augmented area. No traces of CTG or VCMX were detected. Histomorphometrically, the mean tissue thickness was greater in the control group than in the other groups above the implant shoulder (IS). Below the IS level, the CTG and PDRN groups exhibited more favorable tissue thickness than the other groups. Conclusion: Failure of submerged healing after tissue augmentation deteriorated the tissue contour. PDRN appears to have a positive effect on soft tissues.

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.

Background: The goal of this study was to retrospectively evaluate the prognosis of minimal invasive horizontal ridge augmentation (MIHRA) technique using small incision and subperiosteal tunneling technique. Methods: This study targeted 25 partially edentulous patients (10 males and 15 females, mean age $48.8{\pm19.7years$) who needed bone graft for installation of the implants due to alveolar bone deficiency. The patients took the radiographic exam, panoramic and periapical view at first visit, and had implant fixture installation surgery. All patients received immediate or delayed implant surgery with bone graft using U-shaped incision and tunneling technique. After an average of 2.8 months, the prosthesis was connected and functioned. The clinical prognosis was recorded by observation of the peri-implant tissue at every visit. A year after restoration, the crestal bone loss around the implant was measured by taking the follow-up radiographs. One patient took 3D-CT before bone graft, after bone graft, and 2 years after restoration to compare and analyze change of alveolar bone width. Results: This study included 25 patients and 39 implants. Thirty eight implants (97.4 %) survived. As for postoperative complications, five patients showed minor infection symptoms, like swelling and tenderness after bone graft. The other one had buccal fenestration, and secondary bone graft was done by the same technique. No complications related with bone graft were found except in these patients. The mean crestal bone loss around the implants was 0.03 mm 1 year after restoration, and this was an adequate clinical prognosis. A patient took 3D-CT after bone graft, and the width of alveolar bone increased 4.32 mm added to 4.6 mm of former alveolar bone width. Two years after bone graft, the width of alveolar bone was 8.13 mm, and this suggested that the resorption rate of bone graft material was 18.29 % during 2 years. Conclusions: The bone graft material retained within a pouch formed using U-shaped incision and tunneling technique resulted with a few complications, and the prognosis of the implants placed above the alveolar bone was adequate.

Background: The free vascularized fibula flap presents many advantages such as sufficient length of the bony segment, good vascularization, better quality of the bone, and a long vascular pedicle, but it is also associated with some disadvantages with regard to prosthetic rehabilitation because of its limited height. Improvement in bone height is necessary for ideal dental implant treatment of reconstructed mandibles. Case presentation: For two squamous cell carcinoma patients, mandibular bone reconstruction was performed secondarily with the peroneal flap after tumor resection. Since the bone height was insufficient at the time of implant treatment, occlusion reconstruction by dental implant was performed after vertical distraction osteogenesis. Conclusions: Vertical distraction osteogenesis is a suitable treatment option for alveolar ridge deficiency resulting from fibula transplantation for mandibular reconstruction following tumor surgery.
