임플란트-고정체 지지 형태의 티타늄-메쉬를 이용한 수직적 치조골 증식술 : 증례 보고

초록

The vertical height of the alveolar bone and the amount of remaining bone are important factors in the long-term suc cess of implants. If the remaining bone is insufficient, procedures such as vertical alveolar ridge augmentation, like guided bone regeneration, are necessary for ideal implant surgery. Among the non-resorbable membranes that can be used in these procedures, titanium mesh offers advantages such as maintaining space for bone grafting, protecting the underlying graft material, and allowing adjustment to match the defect site for desired shaping. However, fixation of titanium mesh, which is crucial in determining the overall success of the surgery, requires the use of multiple screws and may result in membrane ex posure during the healing process. To overcome these problems, a recent development involves the use of fixture-supported titanium-mesh, which has demonstrated good results. This study suggests that vertical alveolar ridge augmentation using fixture-supported titanium mesh can resolve conventional problems and can be considered an effective and reasonable strat egy for achieving ideal implants.
