Alveolar ridge augmentation--a case series.

This study presents case reports of patients with osseous defects who were treated with autogenous bone grafts from the symphysis region, alloplast grafts with barrier membrane, and the use of free gingival onlay grafts for alveolar ridge augmentation. The patients were followed for a period of six months.

Dentinal hypersensitivity?--Can this agent be the solution?
