4. Definition
Ridge augmentation is a periodontal procedure used to repair the
deficient edentulous ridge
It can be corrected by
– Hard tissue only
– Soft tissue only
– Soft and hard tissues
5. Classification
Sieberts classification (1983)
– Class 1 – buccolingual loss of tissue with normal ridge height in the
apicocoronal direction
– Class 2 - apicocoronal loss of tissue with normal width in the buccolingual
direction
– Class 3 – combination buccolingual and apicocoronal loss of tissue, resulting in
loss of normal height and width
Allens classification
– Mild - less than 3 mm reduction
– Morderate - between 3 to 6 mm reduction
– Severe - more than 6 mm reduction
10. Free gingival graft
First used graft
– Reliable and efficacious
– High and predictable success rate
– Used to increase amount of keratinized tissue (rocuzzo M et al., 2007)
– Gold standard procedure when keratinisation is needed
– Mostly taken from palatal area
– Used as rescue procedures, in place of high smile line, when there is a need
for extensive soft tissue augmentation and where there is no esthetic concern
Disadvantages
– “Patch like appearance” – colour doesn’t blend with the adjacent tissues. Kills
the purpose of esthetics.
– Less amount of tissue available
11. Connective tissue graft
Overcomes the esthetic drawback of FGG. Good colour match
– Gold standard when it comes to recession coverage procedures in
esthetic areas (Imberman M et al., 2007)
– Good vascularity
– Controversy over attachment with implant surface
Drawbacks
– Technique sensitiv
– Lack of adequate tissue in the case of a large defect
14. Full thickness soft tissue onlay
graft
Meltzer 1979 published first clinical report
– To correct esthetic anterior vertical ridge defect
Siebert 1983 published a series of classic articles that detail the technique
and applications
15. Pouch procedure
Garber and Roenberg 1981
developed this technique
– For treating ridges that had
a horizontal loss o dimension.
16. Improved technique
In 1985, allen and colleagues improved a surgical technique for localised
ridge augmentation that was similar to the technique by kahldahl and
colleagues 1982 except that the graft material was HA graft
17. Subepithelial connective tissue
graft
Langer and calagna 1980 1982 designed a procedure that combined partial
thickness flap anda connective tissue graft.
Advantages
Disadvantages
Indication
– For correction of all types of ridge deformitues
18.
19. Interpositional graft
Its is given by siebert 1992
– Almost identical to the
pouch procedure
Used for treatment of class 1
ridge defects
20. Interpositional onlay graft
Siebert and Louis 1995 96 developed this procedure
– For large class 3 ridge defects
Meant to combine the best procedures of the interpositional graft and the
onlay graft into one procedure
21. Pediculated connective tissue graft
It si a vascularised subepithelial connective tissue graft designed for
esthetic reidge augmentation befire, during and after implant placement
Will help prevent premature membrane exposure
Provide sufficient additional vascularized tissue
For vertical and buccal ridge augmentation
Involves passive rotation of an interpositional periosteal retained
connective tissue flap over the edentulous area into the buccal surface
24. Hard tissue augmentation
Classification
• Materials used
• Techniques
• Complications
• Conclusion
25. The alveolar ridge undergoes accelerated bone loss within the first 6
months of tooth extraction,1 resulting in an eventual estimated 40% loss of
ridge height and 60% loss of ridge width.
Resorption of the buccal plate occurs at a faster and greater extent
compared to the palatal or lingual plates because of the loss of bundle
bone.
27. Three part codes to describe the effect of the alveolar ridge as
comprehensively as possible with a view to existing therapeutic options:
Part 1: Orientation of the defect
h: horizontal
V: vertical
c: combined
S (or +S): sinus area
Part 2: Reconstruction needs associated with the defect
1. low: <4mm
2. medium: 4-8mm
3. high: >8mm
Part 3: Relation of augmentation and defect region
i: internal, inside the contour
e: external, outside the ridge contour
29. TECHNIQUES
Conventional techniques (3 main groups)
• Onlay bone block grafting
• Guided bone regeneration
• Distraction osteogenesis
Other techniques
• Khoury's protocol
• Tenting screws
• Orthodontic bone regeneration
• Fence technique
• I Gen
• 3D printed bone
• Box technique
• Interpositional grafting
Complex surgical procedures
• Le Fort 1 osteotomy
• Nerve transposition (technically not an augmentation)
30. Autogenous bone block
Site
Tibia - 5 – 40 mL uncompressed cancellous marrow
Anterior ilium - 30 – 50 mL of corticocancellous marrow 1- 5 cm
corticocancellous bone block
Posterior ilium - 40 – 120 mL uncompressed cancellous marrow 4 – 12 cm
corticocancellous bone block
Cranial bone corticocancellous bone block (onlay graft) for midface,
orbital,
zygomatic and nasal reconstructions

31. Guided bone regeneration
PASS principal for regeneration
Primary wound closure
Angiogenesis
Space
Stability
Wang and Boyapati 2006. “PASS” principles for predictable bone regeneration. Implant Dent
32. Distraction osteogenesis
The basic principles include:
Latency period of 7 days for initial post-surgical soft tissue wound healing
A distraction phase during which the two pieces of bone undergo gradual
incremental separation at a rate of 0.5–1 mm/day
A consolidation phase that allows bone regeneration in the created space
Maron 2012. Dental Implant Prosthetic Rehabilitation: Vertical Distraction Osteogenesis. Chapter 20.
35. Horizontal Bone Augmentation
Features of ridge resorption:
Most bone remodeling occurs within the first 6 months after extraction
An estimated 40% loss of ridge height and 60% loss of ridge width
Inevitable loss of bundle bone
Buccal plates resorb more than palatal or lingual plates
Center of the ridge is shifted to the palatal or lingual side
Rate of reduction of the residual ridge is 0.1 mm/year for the maxilla and
0.4 mm/year for the mandible
36. Common techniques introduced for horizontal bone augmentation are
GBR, ridge splitting and expansion, and block grafts of either autogenic or
allogenic origin.
In horizontal bone augmentation, GBR can be applied simultaneously with
implant placement (eg, the ”sandwich” bon augmentation technique18) or
in a staged approach.
37. Ridge splitting and ridge expansion osteotomies use the ability to
compress trabecular bone to create space for the implant.
Monocortical or corticocancellous autogenous or allogenic block grafts
can be secured to the ridge to increase its width for implant placement.

39. With the proposed guideline, which follows basic surgical principles,
predictable bone augmentation can be achieved. In implant therapy and
ridge augmentation, stability of the implant or graft material is essential in
obtaining a successful treatment outcome.
This guideline takes into account the benefits of different techniques and
graft materials and uses them in various clinical situations to achieve the
most favorable bone augmentation.
