Achieving Predictable Alveolar Ridge Augmentation for Dental Implants
Successful dental implant placement requires adequate bone volume, which is often lacking in patients with significant alveolar ridge deficiencies
Stability
Titanium mesh (TM) serves as a superior, form-stable barrier that maintains the necessary space for bone growth while preventing soft tissue encroachment. Systematic reviews have shown that titanium mesh can achieve a weighted mean vertical bone gain of 4.05 mm and a horizontal gain of 3.96 mm. While the technique carries a risk of mesh exposure (approximately 25%), bone regeneration is usually still sufficient for successful implant placement, making it a robust choice for complex ridge reconstructions.
