Alveolar Bone Grafting
Conditions
Keywords
alveolar ridge augmentation, alveolar bone loss, dental implant, guided tissue regeneration, polycaprolactone
Brief summary
This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of synthetic polycaprolactone (PCL) bioscaffold membranes used for alveolar augmentation in maxillofacial surgery for increasing the amount of newly formed bone after three-dimensional application.
Interventions
scaffold guided alveolar bone regeneration

Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
* (1) patients aged \>18 years without any systemic disease or with an established systemic disease that precluded the surgical procedure; (2) patients whose bone deficiency was augmented with PCL scaffolds; (3) patients with an indication for dental implant-supported prosthesis who lacked sufficient bone for dental implants according to cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) evaluation and, therefore, needed bone augmentation; and (4) patients with preoperative and postoperative images.
Exclusion criteria
* patients (1) with uncontrolled systemic diseases, (2) who had undergone radiation therapy, (3) who were female and pregnant, (4) who had previously undergone any surgical procedure related to augmentation in the area of the defect, (5) who had incomplete files or lacked pre- and post-treatment radiologic records, or (6) who had psychological problems.
