The amount and standard of bone is a big antecedent for success of any prosthesis. Alveolar ridge defects are common and might be a significant problem in any dental treatment and rehabilitation. Following extractions, dimensional changes takes place in ridge morphology. Starting with initial rapid resorption in the first 2-3 months, the process continues. Periodontal diseases,trauma, tumour or congenital diseases could be the possible cause of alveolar ridge defects. Since this possesses a great degree of functional,hygienic and esthetic concern,it is imperative for the clinician to be aware of the same and execute it in treatment planning protocol. This article reviews the available materials for alveolar ridge augmentation and highlights on their success rates and possible complications.

Abstract


The amount and standard of bone is a big antecedent for success of any prosthesis. Alveolar ridge defects are common and might be a significant problem in any dental treatment and rehabilitation. Following extractions, dimensional changes takes place in ridge morphology. Starting with initial rapid resorption in the first 2-3 months, the process continues. Periodontal diseases,trauma, tumour or congenital diseases could be the possible cause of alveolar ridge defects. Since this possesses a great degree of functional,hygienic and esthetic concern,it is imperative for the clinician to be aware of the same and execute it in treatment planning protocol. This article reviews the available materials for alveolar ridge augmentation and highlights on their success rates and possible complications.
