Comparative Evaluation of Growth Factor Bioavailability–Enhanced Allograft Vs Autogenous Bone Graft in Anterior Maxillary Ridge Augmentation
To compare the outcomes of growth factor bioavailability–enhanced allograft (GFBA) and autogenous bone graft in anterior maxillary ridge augmentation.
Approach:
Case Presentation: A 44-year-old male with an atrophic alveolar ridge and periapical rarefying osteitis underwent extraction of tooth No. 7 and ridge augmentation using GFBA and an autogenous ramus block graft at site No. 8.
Surgical Procedure: The procedure involved extraction, socket debridement, and grafting with GFBA for site No. 7 and an autogenous block graft for site No. 8, followed by implant placement after healing.
Key Findings:
At 11 months, both GFBA and autogenous grafts demonstrated successful ridge augmentation.
The GFBA site showed a homogeneous trabecular pattern and advanced integration.
The autogenous graft exhibited ongoing remodeling and graft integration.
Implants were successfully placed at both sites with stable peri-implant bone levels.
Interpretation:
Limitations:
The study is based on a single case report, limiting generalizability.
Long-term outcomes beyond 11 months are not reported.
