Lateral Ridge Augmentation Using Cortical Bone Pins and Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF)
Inadequate ridge width sites 6,7 & 8. Placement of 4 cortical bone pins to support graft, membrane and soft tissues
Regenaform, PRF and Ossix membranes with primary closure
CBCT 6 mos post surg demonstrates bone growth over pins and increased ridge width of 3 to 5 mm
Placement of 3 Thommen implants 11 mm in length.
PREOP
19 year-old male with periapical pathology #9 and narrow ridge #10
#9 #10
Periapical cyst #9, concavity #10
Extraction #9, placement of 4 cortical bone pins covered with Regenaform saturated with platelet rich fibrin (PRF)
Regenaform covered with PRF and Ossix membranes
70 year-old female concavity site #10
2 cortical bone pins covered with Regenaform and BioOss mixed with PRF
Graft covered with Ossix and PRF membranes
CBCT at 6 months shows increase in ridge volume when compared to presurgical CBCT
