Vertical and horizontal ridge augmentation using customized CAD/CAM titanium mesh with versus without resorbable membranes. A randomized clinical trial.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

The aim was to evaluate the role of resorbable membranes applied over customized titanium meshes related to soft tissue healing and bone regeneration after vertical/horizontal bone augmentation.

Materials and methods

Thirty patients with partial edentulism of the maxilla/mandible, with vertical/horizontal reabsorption of the alveolar bone, and needing implant-supported restorations, were randomly divided into two groups: Group A was treated using only custom-made meshes (Mesh-) and Group B using custom-made meshes with cross-linked collagen membranes (Mesh+). Data collection included surgical/technical and healing complications, "pseudo-periosteum" thickness, bone density, planned bone volume (PBV), regenerated bone volume (RBV), regeneration rate (RR), vertical b
