RESUMO
This report describes the use of Self Inflating Tissue Expanders (SITEs) to rehabilitate severely atrophic edentulous mandibular ridges, enabling successful bone grafting and implant placement. The treatment resulted in stable and complication-free implants over a seven-year follow-up, demonstrating SITEs' effectiveness in providing sufficient bone volume and soft tissue coverage for dental implants.

Vertical ridge augmentation is one of the most challenging procedures in implant dentistry because of the advanced skills required by the operator and the fact that bone augmentation is aimed outside the bony contour, in an environment of reduced blood supply. What is more, the flap management required to ensure soft tissue closure frequently leads to associated comorbidities in terms of swelling and hematomas. For these reasons, and even if autologous onlay block grafts are still the gold standard, new techniques and biomaterials have favored the development of potentially less invasive approaches. The present work evaluates the most recent strategies in vertical ridge augmentation to reduce invasiveness and complications, including diagnostic/treatment planning considerations, surgical techniques, digital tools (eg, customized titanium meshes/membranes or bone blocks), and future trends in the field of tissue engineering and cell therapy.

AIM: Alveolar ridge resorption following tooth extraction often renders a lateral bone augmentation inevitable. Some patients, however, suffer from severe early (during graft healing, Eres ) and/or late (during follow-up, Lres ) graft resorption. We explored the hypothesis that the "individual phenotypic dimensions" may partially explain the degree of such resorptions. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Patients who underwent a guided bone regeneration (GBR) procedure were screened for inclusion according to the following criteria: (1) a relatively symmetrical maxillary arch; (2) an intact contra-lateral alveolar bone dimension; (3) the availability of a pre-operative cone-beam CT (CBCT); (4) a CBCT taken immediately after GBR, and (5) at least one CBCT scan ≥6 months after surgery. CBCT scans from different timepoints were registered and imported into the Mimics software (Materialise, Leuven, Belgium). Bone dimensions of the contra-lateral site of the augmentation, representing the "individual phenotypical dimension (IPD) of the alveolar crest", were superimposed on the augmented site and registered accordingly. As such, Eres and Lres could be measured over time, in relation to the IPD (in two dimensions; per millimetre apically from the alveolar crest, in the centre of the GBR), as well as in three dimensions (the entire GBR, 2 mm away from the mesial, distal, and apical border for standardization). RESULTS: A total of 17 patients (23 augmented sites) were included. After Eres , the outline of the augmentation was in general located ±1 mm outside the IPD, but ≥1.5 years after GBR, it further moved towards the IPD (85% within 0.5 mm distance). CONCLUSIONS: Within the limitations of this study, the results indicate that the dimensions of a lateral bone augmentation are defined by the "individual phenotypic bone boundaries" of the patient.

BACKGROUND: Periodontal accelerated osteogenic orthodontics (PAOO) is a widely-used clinical procedure that combines selective alveolar corticotomy, particulate bone grafting, and the application of orthodontic forces. Different modifications of PAOO such as collagen-membrane coverage can better benefit patients from preventing displacement of grafts. Due to its stability, collagen-membrane coverage gradually gained popularity and became a widely-used procedure in traditional PAOO technique. OBJECTIVES: To quantitatively investigate the radiographic changes of alveolar bone, periodontal soft tissue changes of the mandibular anterior teeth and postoperative complications in periosteum-covered techniques compared with traditional surgical technique in PAOO. METHODS: Orthodontic camouflage for dental Class II or decompensation for skeletal Class III malocclusions were included; Patients with bone defects on the buccal aspects of the anterior mandible regions confirmed by clinical and radiographic examination were randomly divided into the periosteum coverage group or traditional technique group for PAOO. Cone-beam computerized tomography (CBCT) scans were obtained before treatment (T0) and 1 week (T1) and 12 months (T2) after operation. The primary outcome variable was the vertical alveolar bone level (VBL), the secondary evaluation parameters included labial horizontal bone thickness at the midpoint of the middle third (MHBT) or apical third (AHBT) to the limit of the labial cortical surface during a 12-month follow-up. Postoperative sequelae were evaluated after 2 days and 7 days in both the groups. Periodontal parameters were analyzed at T0 and T2. RESULTS: Thirty-six adult subjects were eligible and recruited in the present study. Although experimental group exhibited more severe infection, no significant differences of the postoperative symptoms or periodontal parameters was found between the 2 groups (P > 0.05). All patients were examined respectively using CBCT at baseline (T0), postoperative 1 week (T1) and 12 months (T2). Both alveolar bone height and width increased from T0 to T1 (P < 0.001) and then reduced from T1 to T2 (P < 0.001) in both groups. However, significant bone augmentation was achieved in each group from T0 to T2 (P < 0.001). Furthermore, the vertical alveolar bone augmentation in the experimental group increased significantly than that in the traditional surgery (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Compared with traditional PAOO surgery, the periosteum-covered technique provides superior graft stabilization and satisfactory vertical bone augmentation in the labial mandibular anterior area.

AIM: This study aimed to systematically review the published studies on vertical alveolar bone augmentation (VABA) by guided bone regeneration (GBR) with titanium mesh (TM). BACKGROUND: Guided bone regeneration is a procedure that can be used for VABA of the alveolar ridge. Titanium mesh is used as a barrier due to its ability to maintain a space that the newly formed bone will occupy. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A computerized literature search was conducted on the databases PubMed, SCOPUS, Science Direct, and Cochrane Library to review the published article on VABA by TM from 2011 to 2021. REVIEW RESULTS: Eight out of 574 retrieved articles were included in the qualitative analysis, three randomized clinical trials, two prospective clinical trials, and three retrospective trials. They were assessed for risk of bias using the critical appraisal skills program checklist. Titanium mesh was utilized as a barrier in three different ways, adapted directly on the alveolar bone, bent preoperatively on three-dimensional (3D) models, and 3D-printed. Two randomized clinical trials (RCTs) reported 20.8% bone gain, while the other studies reported the means ranging from 2.56 to 4.78 mm. All studies reported TM exposure that ranged from 7.69 to 66.66%. Exposure during the four postoperative weeks led to inadequate bone regeneration. However, late exposure had no effect or caused only slight bone resorption. Early TM removal was performed in two studies, one case per each, ranging from 2.4 to 11.1%. Infection was presented in three studies, one case per each, and the percentages were 5, 11.1, and 25%. CONCLUSION: All types of TM had exposure, which was the most common complication, but early removal was indicated only in a few cases. Titanium mesh showed reliability and efficacy as a barrier for VABA by GBR. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: By this procedure, bone height can be restored, however, meticulous follow-up is recommended for the detection and management of TM exposures.

AIM: The primary aim of this systematic review was to evaluate the effect of various techniques used for vertical ridge augmentation on clinical vertical bone gain. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A protocol was developed to answer the following focused question: "In patients with vertical alveolar ridge deficiencies, how effective are different augmentation procedures for clinical alveolar ridge gain?" Randomized and controlled clinical trials and prospective and retrospective case series were included, and meta-analyses were performed to evaluate vertical bone gain based on the type of procedure and to compare bone gains in controlled studies. RESULTS: Thirty-six publications were included. Results demonstrated a significant vertical bone gain for all treatment approaches (n = 33; weighted mean effect = 4.16 mm; 95% CI 3.72-4.61; p < 0.001). Clinical vertical bone gain and complications rate varied among the different procedures, with a weighted mean gain of 8.04 mm and complications rate of 47.3% for distraction osteogenesis, 4.18 mm and 12.1% for guided bone regeneration (GBR), and 3.46 mm and 23.9% for bone blocks. In comparative studies, GBR achieved a significant greater bone gain when compared to bone blocks (n = 3; weighted mean difference = 1.34 mm; 95% CI 0.76-1.91; p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: Vertical ridge augmentation is a feasible and effective therapy for the reconstruction of deficient alveolar ridges, although complications are common.

Simultaneous vertical ridge augmentation (VRA) can reduce treatment procedures and surgery time, but the concomitant reduction in primary stability (PS) of a shallow-placed implant imparts risk to its prognosis. Although several studies have reported improvements in PS, there is little information from any simultaneous VRA model. This study aimed to evaluate whether tapered implants with stepwise under-prepared osteotomy could improve the PS of shallow-placed implants in an in vitro model of simultaneous VRA. Tapered implants (Straumann® Bone Level Tapered implant; BLT) and hybrid implants (Straumann® Bone Level implant; BL) were investigated in this study. A total of 80 osteotomies of different depths (4, 6, 8, 10 mm) were created in rigid polyurethane foam blocks, and each BLT and BL was inserted by either standard (BLT-S, BL-S) or a stepwise under-prepared (BLT-U, BL-U) osteotomy protocol. The PS was evaluated by measuring maximum insertion torque (IT), implant stability quotient (ISQ), and removal torque (RT). The significance level was set at P < 0.05. There were no significant differences in IT, ISQ or RT when comparing BLT-S and BL-S or BLT-U and BL-U at placement depths of 6 and 8 mm. When comparison was made between osteotomy protocols, IT was significantly greater in BLT-U than in BLT-S at all placement depths. A stepwise under-prepared osteotomy protocol improves initial stability of a tapered implant even in a shallow-placed implant model. BLT-U could be a useful protocol for simultaneous VRA.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the reliability of 6-mm-long implants compared with normal-length implants placed in a vertical augmented atrophic posterior mandible, supporting cemented single crowns. Thirty-six patients with bilateral posterior edentulous mandible and presenting a bone availability height less than 9 mm from the mandibular canal were enrolled in this study. Patient hemiarches were randomized to receive both 6-mm-long and normal-length implants (10 mm). The technique used for the vertical bone augmentation was the "sandwich" technique, using a bone substitute block as graft. The data outcomes at 1 year postloading follow-up were the loss of implants and complications. Eighty-six 6-mm-long implants and 84 normal implants were inserted. Five short implants and 13 normal implants were lost. In 28 patients, complications occurred, and in 21 cases, the complication was present on the side of the ridge vertical augmentation. From the statistical analysis, the association between the side of the ridge augmentation and the side of occurrence of the complication was statistically significant ( P < .05). The results from this trial suggest short implants can be preferred over vertical bone augmentation for the placement of longer implants in the rehabilitation of edentulous posterior mandibles. These initial results must be confirmed by larger and longer follow-ups of 5 years or more.

The regenerative treatment of infectious vertical bone defects remains difficult and challenging today. Current clinical treatments are limited in their ability to control bacteria and infection, which is unfavorable for new bone formation and calls for a new type of material with excellent osteogenic and antibacterial properties. Here a multifunctional scaffold is synthesized that mimics natural bone nanostructures by incorporating silver nanowires into a hierarchical, intrafibrillar mineralized collagen matrix (IMC/AgNWs), to achieve the therapeutic goals of inhibiting bacterial activity and promoting infectious alveolar bone augmentation in rats and beagle dogs. An appropriate concentration of 0.5 mg mL-1 AgNWs is selected to balance biocompatibility and antibacterial properties. The achieved IMC/AgNWs exhibit a broad spectrum of antimicrobial properties against Gram-negative Porphyromonas gingivalis and Gram-positive Streptococcus mutans. When the IMC/AgNWs are cocultured with periodontal ligament stem cells, it possesses excellent osteoinductive activities under both non-inflammatory and inflammatory conditions. By constructing a rat mandibular infected periodontal defect model, the IMC/AgNWs achieve a near-complete healing through the canonical BMP/Smad signaling. Moreover, the IMC/AgNWs enhance vertical bone height and osseointegration in peri-implantitis in beagle dogs, indicating the clinical translational potential of IMC/AgNWs for infectious vertical bone augmentation.

INTRODUCTION: The primary aim of this systematic review was to investigate and compare the outcomes of different vertical ridge augmentation (VRA) techniques in relation to peri-implant bone loss (PBL), after at least 12 months of functional loading. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The search was conducted to find all the studies about VRA and measurements of PBL with at least 12 months follow-up. Three pairwise meta-analysis (MA) was performed to completely evaluate the outcomes. RESULTS: A total of 42 studies were included, of which 11 were randomized clinical trials (RCTs). RCTs were available only for guided bone regeneration (GBR), onlay, and inlay techniques. The weighted mean estimate (WME) of PBL value was found to be 1.38 mm (95% confidence interval [95% CI]: 1.10-1.66) after a mean follow-up of 41.0 ± 27.8 months. GBR, Inlay, Onlay, osteodistraction, and SBB represented in weight 32.9%, 30.6%, 25.0%, 7.6%, and 3.9%, respectively; and their WME (95% CI) were 1.06 (0.87-1.26) mm, 1.72 (1.00-2.43) mm, 1.31 (0.87-1.75) mm, 1.81 (0.87-1.75) mm, and 0.66 (0.55-0.77) mm, respectively. Among the secondary outcomes, the analysis was conducted for vertical bone gain, healing complication rate, surgical complication rate, implant survival, and success rate. CONCLUSIONS: The primary findings of the meta-analysis, based on the changes between final and baseline values, showed that the peri-implant bone loss could be influenced by the type of intervention but there is a need to evaluate in RCTs the behavior of the peri-implant bone levels after long-term follow-up for all techniques.

Triply periodic minimal surface microarchitectures (TPMS) were developed by mathematicians and evolved in all kingdoms of living organisms. Renowned for their lightweight yet robust attributes, TPMS structures find application in diverse fields, such as the construction of satellites, aircrafts, and electric vehicles. Moreover, these microarchitectures, despite their intricate geometric patterns, demonstrate potential for application as bone substitutes, despite the inherent gothic style of natural bone microarchitecture. Here, we produced three TPMS microarchitectures, D-diamond, G-gyroid, and P-primitive, by 3D printing from hydroxyapatite. We explored their mechanical characterization and, further, implanted them to study their bone augmentation and osteoconduction potential. In terms of strength, the D-diamond and G-gyroid performed significantly better than the P-primitive. In a calvarial defect model and a calvarial bone augmentation model, where osteoconduction is determined as the extent of bony bridging of the defect and bone augmentation as the maximal vertical bone ingrowth, the G-gyroid performed significantly better than the P-primitive. No significant difference in performance was observed between the G-gyroid and D-diamond. Since, in real life, the treatment of bone deficiencies in patients comprises elements of defect bridging and bone augmentation, ceramic scaffolds with D-diamond and G-gyroid microarchitectures appear as the best choice for a TPMS-based scaffold in bone tissue engineering.
RESUMO
Additive manufacturing has emerged as a transformative tool in biomedical engineering, offering precise control over scaffold design for bone tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. While much attention has been focused on optimizing pore-based scaffold architectures, filament-based microarchitectures remain relatively understudied, despite the fact that the majority of 3D-printers generate filament-based structures. Here, we investigated the influence of filament characteristics on bone regeneration outcomes using a lithography-based additive manufacturing approach. Three distinct filament-based scaffolds (Fil050, Fil083, and Fil125) identical in macroporosity and transparency, crafted from tri-calcium phosphate (TCP) with varying filament thicknesses and distance, were evaluated in a rabbit model of bone augmentation and non-critical calvarial defect. Additionally, two scaffold types differing in filament directionality (Fil and FilG) were compared to elucidate optimal design parameters. Distance of bone ingrowth and percentage of regenerated area within scaffolds were measured by histomorphometric analysis. Our findings reveal filaments of 0.50 mm as the most effective filament-based scaffold, demonstrating superior bone ingrowth and bony regenerated area compared to larger size filament (i.e., 0.83 mm and 1.25 mm scaffolds). Optimized directionality of filaments can overcome the reduced performance of larger filaments. This study advances our understanding of microarchitecture's role in bone tissue engineering and holds significant implications for clinical practice, paving the way for the development of highly tailored, patient-specific bone substitutes with enhanced efficacy.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVES: Combinations of bone substitute block materials with membrane techniques as well as with growth factors are possible options to enhance the prognosis of vertical bone augmentation. Therefore, the aim of the pilot study was to compare the influence of a collagen membrane and a signal protein (rhPDGF-BB) on vertical bone augmentation with a stable fixed block material (deproteinized bovine bone [DBB]). MATERIALS AND METHODS: In 12 rabbits, a DBB-block was implant-fixed on the tibia in a split-leg-design. Included were: DBB only (control), DBB + collagen membrane (test), DBB + rhPDGF-BB (test) and DBB + rhPDGF-BB + collagen membrane (test). 24 samples were examined after 3 (n = 12) and 6 weeks (n = 12). Calculated parameters were new bone area (NBA;%), new vertical bone height (VBH; mm). Due to the pilot character of this study, single values are shown descriptively only. RESULTS: After 3 weeks, there were constant higher NBA values in the rhPDGF-BB-group without membrane (NBA (%) DBB: 30/16/4; DBB + membrane: 25/17/7, DBB + rhPDGF-BB: 40/33/34, DBB + rhPDGF-BB + membrane: 0/30/16; VBH (mm) DBB: 1.2/1.2/1, DBB + membrane: 0.7/0.9/1, DBB + rhPDGF-BB: 0.7/0.9/1, DBB + rhPDGF-BB + membrane: 0/1.1/1). After 6 weeks, both membrane groups showed a constant higher NBA and VBH independent to the use of rhPDGF-BB (NBA DBB: 3/0/5, DBB + membrane: 20/35/31, DBB + rhPDGF-BB: 5/8/4, DBB + rhPDGF-BB + membrane: 31/35/40; VBH DBB: 0.3/0.3/0.6, DBB + membrane: 1.6/2.4/2.1, DBB + rhPDGF-BB: 0.4/0.7/0.8, DBB + rhPDGF-BB + membrane: 1.8/2/1.8). CONCLUSIONS: For vertical augmentation, the addition of rhPDGF-BB to DBB-blocks may increase early bone growth. In the later phase, the use of a collagen membrane enhances new bone volume and height to a significant greater extend. Even if the results are higher than those in the non-membrane groups, the low gain of bone after the short time periods still needs improvement.

This in vivo study reports the influence of minocycline-HCl administration on extra-skeletal bone generation in a Guided Bone Augmentation model, utilizing titanium caps placed on the intact as well as perforated calvaria of rats. The test group was administered 0.5 mg/mL minocycline-HCl with the drinking water, and the amount of bone tissue in the caps was quantified at three time points (4, 8 and 16 weeks). A continuously increased tissue fill was observed in all groups over time. The administration of minocycline-HCl as well as perforation of the calvaria increased this effect, especially with regard to mineralization. The strongest tissue augmentation, with 1.8 times that of the untreated control group, and, at the same time, the most mineralized tissue (2.3× over untreated control), was produced in the combination of both treatments, indicating that systemic administration of minocycline-HCl has an accelerating and enhancing effect on vertical bone augmentation.
RESUMO
To address the problem of insufficient bone mass in the implant area, we focused on the vertical increment of the posterior mandibular area to increase bone mass with the aid of a healing abutment. Data of patients with insufficient vertical bone height in the posterior mandibular area were collected, and vertical increment of alveolar bone operations was performed with the aid of a healing abutment. Preoperative residual alveolar bone height, immediate postoperative alveolar bone height, and 6-month postoperative alveolar bone height were recorded, with peri-implant soft tissue results 6 months after surgery using the modified plaque index and sulcus bleeding index. Twelve patients, aged 42-73 years, with an average age of 55.91 ± 11.58 years, received vertical bone augmentation in the posterior mandibular region supported by implant healing abutments. Fifteen SLA TSIII OSSTEM implants were utilized in the 12 patients; one patient failed in vertical bone augmentation at one site (H0 = 0 mm). The vertical bone augmentation effect of two patients at two sites was 0 mm < H0 < 1 mm, and the vertical bone augmentation effect of 12 sites in nine patients was H0 ≥ 1 mm. The implant success rate was 93.3%, and the mean vertical bone gain was 2.91 mm. Peri-implant soft tissue parameters are as follows: mean modified plaque index, 1.92; mean modified sulcus bleeding index, 1.21; and mean probing depth, 3.18. No clinically observable complications occurred. Bone augmentation supported by the implant healing abutment showed the characteristics of "platform transfer", with good formation of the implant-bone interface. The bone augmentation surgery was completed at the same time as the implant placement, which reduced the pain of multiple operations and shortened waiting times. We provide a novel idea to solve the problem of insufficient vertical bone height in the posterior mandibular region.

Vertical bone augmentation procedures are increasingly necessary in daily practice. However, it has been reported that vertical ridge augmentation is one of the least predictable techniques in terms of complications. The aim of this systematic review was to evaluate and compare complications in relation to the different procedures used for vertical bone augmentation prior to implant placement. This review was conducted according to PRISMA guidelines. An electronic search was carried out in four databases: The National Library of Medicine (MEDLINE/PubMed); Web of Science; SCOPUS; and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL). The Newcastle-Ottawa Quality Assessment Scale, the Cochrane Collaboration tool for assessing risk of bias, and The Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Appraisal tool were used to assess the quality of evidence in the studies reviewed. Twenty-five studies with a total of 749 vertically augmented sites were included in the review. Complication rates varied among the different procedures: 51.02% for distraction osteogenesis, 38.01% for bone blocks, and 16.80% for guided bone regeneration. Vertical bone augmentation procedures prior to implant placement are associated with frequent surgical complications and should be approached with caution due to their possible impact on clinical treatment success.

Resorption of alveolar bone following tooth extraction is a physiological process that can often prevent the placement of dental implants due to the limited bone remaining. In severe cases, vertical bone augmentation, which aims to restore bone in an extraskeletal dimension (outside of the skeletal envelope), is required prior to implant placement. While current treatment strategies rely on autologous grafts, or "Guided Bone Regeneration" involving the placement of particulate bone grafting biomaterials under a protective membrane, the field is shifting to patient-matched solutions. Herein, we describe the various steps required for modeling the patient data, creating the patient-matched scaffold geometry and 3D-printing using the biodegradable polymer polycaprolactone for application in the oro-dental and craniofacial areas.

This study radiologically and histologically compared two bioresorbable bone substitutes with different compositions carbonate apatite (Cytrans® Granules; CGs) and ß-tricalcium phosphate (ß-TCP) for vertical bone augmentation on a rat skull using a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) tubes. This PTFE tube was placed at the center of the skull, fixed with Super Bond, and augmented with CGs or ß-TCP granules. Specimens with surrounding tissue were harvested at 4, 8, and 12 weeks postoperatively, and radiological and histological evaluations were performed. The bone volume to total volume ratio (BV/TV) of the ß-TCP-implanted group was markedly higher than that of the CG-implanted group at 4 and 12 weeks postoperatively. Compared to CGs, ß-TCP exhibited the ability to form blood vessels into the graft material for a short period after transplantation, as well as an elevated production of collagen into ß-TCP granules during the bone formation process.

Vertical ridge augmentation is a demanding and technique-sensitive surgical procedure. In the present case series, cone beam CT (CBCT) scans from the clinical routine of patients treated using a novel approach for vertical bone augmentation were assessed. All patients showed a single-tooth class 5 defect and were treated using a modification of the original shell technique. Cortical bone plates were replaced with a lamina composed of a partially demineralized porcine xenograft. CBCT scans of six consecutive patients were treated with the lamina and particulate bone from the mandibular ramus prior to a single tooth implant in the anterior maxilla were included. Pre- and postsurgical CBCT data sets were superimposed and analyzed digitally using surface matching and Boolean subtraction. The volume of the grafted area was calculated with and without the xenograft. The vertical gain of the ridge height measured in this case series varied from 7 to 11.3 mm. The mean vertical gain was 8.97 mm. The mean volume including the xenograft was 382.59 mm3 (SD 73.39) and 250.84 mm3 (SD 53.67) without the lamina. The modified shell technique used in this case series for the vertical augmentation of single-tooth class 5 defects provided sufficient bone for single implant restorations.
