Implant treatment in a patient with horizontal bone deficiency in the maxilla; A case report

Öz

Dental implants planned for patients with missing teeth can be applied if there is sufficient vertical and horizontal distance in the bone. In cases where implant prosthetic treatment will be performed but there is not enough bone, bone augmentation operations are required before implant. In this case, it was aimed to increase the bone volume by augmentation using the alveolar ridge split technique and to place the implants with primary stability in a patient with horizontal bone deficiency. During the operation, the ridge split technique was used in combination with onlay grafting, implants were placed with primary stability, and oral rehabilitation of the patient was provided with prosthetic treatment. In the patient follow-up, the implants were successfully osteointegrated and no bone resorption was observed. In conclusion, ridge split technique can be used to expand the bone in a patient with horizontal bone deficiency and a successful implant treatment can be achieved.

Maksillada horizontal kemik yetersizliği bulunan hastada implant tedavisi; Bir olgu sunumu

Öz

Diş eksikliği bulunan hastalara yapılması planlanan dental implantlar, kemikte yeterli vertikal ve horizontal mesafe mevcutsa uygulanabilir. İmplant üstü protetik tedavi yapılacak ancak, yeterli kemiğin bulunmadığı durumlarda implant öncesi kemik augmentasyonu operasyonları gerekmektedir. Bu vakada horizontal kemik yetersizliği bulunan hastada alveolar kret split tekniği kullanılarak yapılan augmentasyonla kemik hacmini arttırmak ve implantların primer stabilite alınarak yerleştirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Operasyon sırasında kret split tekniği onley greftleme ile birlikte kullanılmış, primer stabilite alınarak implantlar yerleştirilmiş, protetik tedavisiyle hastanın oral rehabilitasyonu sağlanmıştır. Hasta takibinde implantlar başarılı bir şekilde osteointegre olmuş, kemikte herhangi bir rezorpsiyon görülmemiştir. Sonuç olarak horizontal kemik yetersizliği bulunan hastada kemiği genişletmek amacıyla kret split tekniği kullanılabilir ve başarılı bir implant tedavisi sağlanabilir.
