A sample of 24 patients with varied morphologic defects were treated with 34 titanium meshes and particulate bone and rehabilitated at least 8 to 9 months thereafter with the placement of 88 implants. Of the 34 meshes, 4 had to be removed before implant placement (11.76% total failure) and 20 were exposed due to soft tissue dehiscence (58.82% of complications): 4 (11.77%) prematurely (within 4 to 6 weeks) and 16 (47.05%) delayed (after 4 to 6 weeks), with no compromise in implant placement. None of the 88 implants was lost (100% implant survival), and 15 demonstrated increased bone loss, yielding a cumulative implant success rate of 82.9%. This technique appears useful in treating extended and morphologically varied alveolar defects.

Abstract
A sample of 24 patients with varied morphologic defects were treated with 34 titanium meshes and particulate bone and rehabilitated at least 8 to 9 months thereafter with the placement of 88 implants. Of the 34 meshes, 4 had to be removed before implant placement (11.76% total failure) and 20 were exposed due to soft tissue dehiscence (58.82% of complications): 4 (11.77%) prematurely (within 4 to 6 weeks) and 16 (47.05%) delayed (after 4 to 6 weeks), with no compromise in implant placement. None of the 88 implants was lost (100% implant survival), and 15 demonstrated increased bone loss, yielding a cumulative implant success rate of 82.9%. This technique appears useful in treating extended and morphologically varied alveolar defects.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
