- Title
Particulate bone grafting with a resorbable collagen membrane and horizontal alveolar ridge augmentation with tenting screws in dental implant placement: A case report.

- Abstract
Key Clinical Message: We used a mixture of particulate bone grafts (xenografts/allografts) with tenting screws to prevent membrane collapse and covered the graft with a resorbable collagen membrane to guide bone regeneration. This strategy can exclude the need for additional procedures, such as non‐resorbable membranes and major block grafting surgeries. Although the initial outcomes are promising, continuous follow‐up is required to examine the stability of the newly regenerated bone and the long‐term success of the implant. This case demonstrates the use of particulate bone grafts covered with a resorbable collagen membrane and supported by tenting screws to correct horizontal alveolar ridge defects. A man in his 40s presented with missing maxillary anterior central and lateral incisors and required a fixed dental prosthesis. One year before, #12, #11, #21, and #22 had been extracted. The area showed horizontal and slight vertical bone loss. We used a mixture of particulate bone grafts (xenografts and allografts) with tenting screws to prevent membrane collapse and covered the graft with a resorbable collagen membrane to guide bone regeneration. After 6 months, complete bone regeneration was achieved, and the dental implants were submerged in the bone. After another 6 months, the patient was administered with a fixed dental prosthesis. This method can be used to correct horizontal alveolar ridge defects and achieve esthetic restoration without the need for more extensive procedures.
