Correction of alveolar ridge deformities with titanium implants.
A technique for the correction of alveolar ridge defects with titanium implants has been described. Custom cast titanium implants enable the dentist to achieve precise, predictable, stable ridge augmentation previously unavailable with other techniques and materials. The extension of this technique for the correction of more complex alveolar defects is logical.
