A technique for osseous restoration of deficient edentulous maxillary ridges

    Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

    Abstract

    A technique for maxillary bone grafting to augment the atrophic ridge is presented, and the results from 15 cases followed from three to ten years are briefly described. Loss of postoperative ridge height ranged from 10-20% in this sample. It appears that the tendencies to postoperative resorption that occur when autogenous particulate cancellous bone grafts are employed to restore atrophic mandibles are not operative in the maxilla.
