Overview

Case series demonstrates effective horizontal ridge augmentation with hyaluronic acid and bone graft, suggesting low morbidity.

Key Points

  • To illustrate a tunneling approach for horizontal ridge augmentation using specific biomaterials.
  • A single vertical incision was made mesial to the bone defect.
  • A dermal matrix was shaped and positioned in the subperiosteal tunnel.
  • Bone graft was inserted between the dermal matrix and the buccal bone plate.
  • Primary wound closure was achieved, and implants were placed after six months.
  • Optical scans were performed at baseline, six months post-augmentation, and two months post-implant.
  • The procedure was well tolerated by patients with no postoperative complications.
  • Mean tissue thickness achieved was 13.3 mm both at six months and two months after implant insertion.
