title: Ridge augmentation utilizing guided tissue regeneration, titanium screws, freeze-dried bone, and tricalcium phosphate: clinical report.
abstract: A mixture of demineralized freeze-dried human cortical bone and resorbable tricalcium phosphate was used in conjunction with an expanded polytetrafluoroethylene membrane to promote deposition of bone for ridge augmentation. A titanium screw was used to prevent collapse of the regenerative materials. A clinical report is presented in which an atrophic ridge was reconstructed buccolingually, permitting the placement of a root form implant in a previously untenable site.
