Popis: Traditional reconstruction of major alveolar ridge deficiency has required autogenous cortical cancellous particulate bone grafts, often augmented with particulate allogeneic components. Now there is a new concept to consider, that of orthoalveolar form. This paradigm shift involves components of the tissue engineering triad of inductive growth factors combined with a matrix and stem cells, together with osteotomies or devices designed for space maintenance. Reported here is early experience with computer technology used to redesign deficient alveolar ridges deriving ideal alveolar-shaped bone-forms made from powdered titanium, sintered by laser at high temperature using rapid prototype technology.
