Tissue response at the bone-implant interface in a hydroxylapatite augmented mandibular ridge.
This case demonstrates that new bone formation can occur in human HA augmented mandibular ridges. However, patient age at the time of the procedure and the length of time the implant is in place may be determining factors in the degree of osteogenesis that occurs.
