Maxillary Alveolar Ridge Atrophy Reconstructed With Autogenous Bone Graft Harvested From the Proximal Ulna.

摘要: Atrophy of the alveolar ridge requires bone grafting at implant site for rehabilitation masticatory function with dental implants. Despite advances in development substitutes, autogenous graft remains "criterion standard" because its osteogenic, osteoinductive, osteoconductive potential, and non-immunogenic properties. However, harvesting is not exempt from donor morbidity. In this context, use derived proximal ulna might be a viable resource to obtain corticocancellous graft, as associated low Thus, article aimed describe case which maxillary sinus floor augmentation was performed by means harvested ulna, site. An appositional block same region used augment residual ridge. Clinically, healing proceeded uneventfully no major complications. After 8 months, proper amount found site, allowing prosthetically driven insertion subsequent implant-supported rehabilitation. Results were clinically radiographically stable after 3-year follow-up. The present report suggested that should considered safe reliable alternative augmentation. Besides presentation, comprehensive review literature also provided.
