Abstract

Purpose: The aim of this prospective surgical note was to evaluate the highly predictable horizontal bone gain of the alveolar ridge augmentation in two-stage implant surgery at the mandible with titanium mesh.

Material and Methods: Five patients treated with 10 implants and simultaneous guided bone regeneration with ribbed titanium meshes (i–Gen®, MegaGen, Seoul, Republic of Korea) were selected for inclusion in the present surgical note. Primary outcomes were highly predictable horizontal bone gain of the alveolar ridge augmentation, secondary outcomes were biological and prosthetic complications.

Results: After the removal of titanium meshes, the cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) showed a mean horizontal bone gain of 2 mm. The most frequent complications were mild postoperative edema (40% of patients) and discomfort after surgery (60% of patients); these complications were resolved within one week. Titanium mesh exposure occurred in 0 patients. And implant survival rate of 100% (implant-based).

Conclusions: The horizontal ridge reconstruction with titanium meshes placed simultaneously with dental implants achieved predictable satisfactory results.
