Mineralized Plasmatic Matrix With Versus Without Titanium Mesh For Ridge Augmentation Around Dental Implant In Anterior maxilla.

Abstract

Different surgical techniques for anterior ridge augmentation (guided bone regeneration [GBR], bone splitting osteotomy, inlay and onlay grafting), different fixation devices (bone screws, pins, titanium mesh), different augmentation materials and different barrier membranes. GBR has been used successfully for regeneration of bone in conjunction with the placement of dental implants, augmentation of resorbed alveolar ridges and treatment of localized ridge deformities.1 The introduction of protein therapy in regenerative procedure could overcome the use of barrier membranes in certain cases making grafting procedure easier. The mineralized Plasmatic Matrix (MPM) is an autologous blood product highly concentrated in platelets and fibrin in liquid state combined with a bone substitute.2 The fibrin can become bound to bone particles. are stable and cannot move to secure the stability of the particles, the surgeon might use membranes, these membranes could be resorbable or not, reinforced with titanium or completely made of titanium such as titanium mesh.3
