Brief Summary

This retrospective observational study evaluated the clinical outcomes of simultaneous implant placement with horizontal ridge augmentation using autogenous mandibular ramus block grafts. Sixteen patients were treated between January 2018 and March 2025. Clinical and radiological data were analyzed to assess implant survival, osseointegration, and graft incorporation.

Conditions

Alveolar Bone Loss; Tooth Loss / Rehabilitation

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• implant survival rate

  4 months post-surgery

Study Arms (1)

Simultaneous implant + ramus graft group

Procedure: utogenous mandibular ramus block grafting with simultaneous dental implant placement; Procedure: Autogenous mandibular ramus block graft with simultaneous implant placement

Interventions

utogenous mandibular ramus block grafting with simultaneous dental implant placement PROCEDURE

Horizontal alveolar ridge augmentation performed using autogenous block grafts harvested from the mandibular ramus. The graft was fixed to reconstruct the buccal wall, followed by immediate placement of dental implants in the same surgical session. Prosthetic loading was initiated 4 months postoperatively.

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 18 Years - 70 Years
• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: No
• Age Groups: Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)
• Sampling Method: Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Sixteen patients (9 females, 7 males; mean age 41.4 years, range 21-61 years) with horizontal alveolar ridge deficiencies were treated at the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Faculty of Dentistry, Akdeniz University, between January 2018 and March 2025. All patients underwent horizontal ridge augmentation with autogenous mandibular ramus block grafts in conjunction with simultaneous implant placement.

You may qualify if:

• Patients ≥18 years of age
• ASA I or II status
• Presence of horizontal alveolar ridge deficiency requiring augmentation for implant placement
• Treated with autogenous mandibular ramus block grafts and simultaneous implant placement
• Provided informed consent for surgical and prosthetic procedures, and use of clinical and radiological data

You may not qualify if:

• Systemic conditions interfering with dental implant treatment (e.g., uncontrolled diabetes, metabolic bone disease)
• Incomplete clinical or radiological records
• Patients with contraindications for oral surgical procedures
• Patients unwilling to provide informed consent
