Treatment Options for Atrophic Ridges Based on Anatomical Locations of the Missing Teeth
Journal Title: Journal of Oral Biology - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
Differences in anatomy, biomechanical loading and aesthetic demands make treatment needs for implant placement at different anatomical locations distinct from one another. In the atrophic posterior maxilla, vertical bone deficiency can be predictably augmented with sinus augmentation procedure. In the edentulous anterior mandible, the improvements in the mechanical properties of titanium alloys and implant designs have enabled the use of dental implants in limited mesial-distal space. Various techniques have also yielded predictable results for horizontal ridge augmentation. However, challenges remain in the atrophic anterior maxilla where soft tissue aesthetics is of paramount importance to the success of the restoration; and in the atrophic posterior mandible where the presence of inferior alveolar nerve limits the quantity of bone volume. The aim of this article is to discuss the challenges encountered at different anatomical locations and to present the various surgical treatment options available for each site.
