The present paper reports on two patients who underwent three-dimensional ridge augmentation using a xenograft in combination with recombinant human platelet-derived growth factor-BB (rhPDGF-BB). Patient 1 received a deproteinized bovine block infused with PDGF and secured to the alveolar crest by two fixation screws to augment the crest horizontally. After 5 months, implants were successfully placed. Patient 2 underwent a vertical ridge augmentation procedure that combined deproteinized bovine bone particles embedded in a collagen matrix soaked in PDGF Three titanium dental implants were placed in each patient 5 months later. Clinical and histologic results showed excellent soft and hard tissue healing. Bone had regenerated throughout the whole area and the xenograft particles were embedded in bone, which presented resorption lacunae close to areas with ongoing bone formation. This indicated that, in augmented areas, intense physiologic remodeling was ongoing. No data exist concerning three-dimensional bone augmentation using PDGF and a xenograft in humans. This report suggests that the use of rhPDGF-BB in combination with a deproteinized bovine graft may have the potential to regenerate large three-dimensional alveolar defects in humans.

Objectives: This preclinical ex vivo porcine study aimed to evaluate the effects of two flap advancement techniques and periosteal suturing (PS) on graft material displacement during primary wound closure in guided bone regeneration (GBR). Secondary objectives included assessing flap advancement and the impact of soft tissue characteristics on graft displacement.
Materials And Methods: Standardized two-walled horizontal bone defects were created in second premolar sites of pig hemimandibles.
Biologically-oriented alveolar ridge preservation to correct bone dehiscence at immediate implant placement.

Background: The purpose of the present case study is to describe the application of a modification of the Biologically-oriented Alveolar Ridge Preservation (BARP) principles in cases of peri-implant bone dehiscence (PIBD) due to a compromised alveolus at immediate implant placement (IIP).
Methods: The technique is based on the stratification of three layers: a deep layer with a collagen sponge (CS) in the apical part of the alveolus (where the buccal bone plate was still present) to support the blood clot; a graft layer to correct the PIBD; and a superficial collagen layer to cover the graft thus providing space and enhancing clot/graft stability. Healing was obtained by primary closure.

Department of Implantology, The Affiliated Hospital of Stomatology, School of Stomatology, Zhejiang University School of Medicine, Hangzhou, China.
Objectives: This study aimed to assess the effects of deproteinized bovine bone mineral with collagen (DBBMC) combined with deproteinized bovine bone mineral (DBBM) on facial alveolar bone augmentation in the anterior maxillary region.
Materials And Methods: Patients receiving dental implant placement with simultaneous lateral bone augmentation using DBBM (control group) or DBBMC combined with DBBM (test group) were included in the study. The radiographic assessment of facial alveolar bone, such as facial horizontal bone thickness (FHBT), facial vertical bone level (FVBL), and square of facial bone (SFB), was taken by cone beam computed tomography (CBCT).

Alveolar ridge loss presents difficulties for implant placement and stability. To address this, alveolar ridge preservation (ARP) is required to maintain bone and avoid the need for ridge augmentation using socket grafting. In this study, a scaffold for ARP was created by fabricating a 3D porous dense microfiber silk fibroin (mSF) embedded in poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA), which mimics the osteoid template.
