1
Alveolar ridge deficiencies can hinder implant placement in the anterior maxilla, necessitating augmentation procedures.
-
2
A growth factor bioavailability–enhanced allograft (GFBA) was compared to autogenous bone graft in a case of ridge augmentation.
-
3
At 11 months, both GFBA and autogenous graft sites showed successful ridge augmentation and stable peri-implant bone levels.
-
4
The GFBA site exhibited a homogeneous trabecular pattern and advanced integration, while the autogenous graft showed ongoing remodeling.
-
5
GFBA may serve as a viable alternative to autogenous bone grafting for moderate ridge defects in implant dentistry.
