牙齿脱落后的骨吸收是一个明显的,连续,和不可预测的过程,这是植入物放置中最大的挑战之一。与前部区域相比,颌骨的后部区域显示出更多的吸收,下颌骨受到的影响更大。已经使用各种技术完成了狭窄的牙槽脊的扩大。牙槽脊分裂技术(ARST)经常用于狭窄脊的水平增强。在这个案例报告中,一名47岁的女性患者,在左下颌区域出现部分性牙髓中毒,并伴有狭窄的牙槽脊,采用脊分裂技术进行治疗.压电外科单元被用来分裂山脊,然后同时植入。这种牙槽脊分裂技术被认为更可预测,可靠,与其他技术相比,如自体植骨和引导骨再生,是成功的。
Bone resorption following tooth loss is an obvious, continuous, and unpredictable process, which poses one of the greatest challenges in implant placement. The posterior regions of the jaws show more resorption compared to the anterior regions, with the mandible being affected more. Augmentation of the narrow alveolar ridge has been done using various techniques. The alveolar ridge split technique (ARST) is frequently used for the horizontal augmentation of the narrow ridge. In this case report, a 47-year-old female patient who had partial edentulism on the lower left jaw region associated with a narrow alveolar ridge was treated using the ridge split technique. A piezosurgical unit was used for splitting the ridge, followed by simultaneous implant placement. This alveolar ridge split technique is considered to be more predictable, reliable, and successful as compared to other techniques such as autogenous onlay bone graft and guided bone regeneration.
