A multicenter study was undertaken to evaluate a new alveolar ridge augmentation material composed of purified fibrillar collagen and particulate hydroxylapatite (PFC/HA). In a study of 77 patients and 99 reconstructed ridges, this material provided superior handling properties over HA alone as evidenced by its ease of surgical placement and manipulation, and the rarity of particle migration or displacement. Moreover, the rapid development of ridge firmness and stability allowed for the loading of dentures within three to six weeks. Prosthodontist evaluations and surveys of patient satisfaction showed great satisfaction with denture fit, comfort, esthetics, speech, and ability to masticate. |
